GOING: G(4)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   True  

A strong tempo assured with Mountain Ash and Santa Brae leading the charge. SIMPLY (8) powered over the top to win fresh before getting too far back over this track and trip last start. Should be hitting his peak now third-up and Pike rides from a much better draw this time. Doubt he'll be as far back as he was last start and he's expected to return to winning ways. IN GOOD ORDER (2) got the job done last start when winning by 0.3L, beating Simply in the process. He too is third-up today, but he meets the top pick worse at the weights. Chris Parnham remains in the saddle and he's expected to be right in the finish once again. YALLINGUP GIRL (10) has just missed her past couple, being 1.9L off the winner over this track and trip most recently. Back onto a firmer surface may suit and while the draw is sticky, she rates a winning hope. CLASSIC ROGUE (1) Is racing well without winning of late and has claims. CIVVY STREET (6) looks to be getting back toward his best and he's found a suitable race today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Simply is the one to beat.
