Morphettville   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

Aceit Transport Solutions Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +7m 1200m-W/Post, +6m Remainder. Sectional 609 Metres. (Pent: 6.51)  

Looks to be plenty of pace with Nicish and Matrooshi battling for the lead. CASH (4) is a blueblood colt that had his coloured last time, albeit he was far from disgraced. He'll be better for the run and he might be ridden to chase this time after getting lost when hitting the front last start. Suspect he's the best horse in the race and he might be able to show it. NURYS (9) has had a long winter campaign, but she keeps racing well. She's got a dazzling turn of foot when things go her way, and she will be running on late. Any rain will aid her chances. SHADOW EAGLE (13) has been freshened up and will likely improve. He's got a few things going for him. EXTRA HOT (11) must be respected and is a top three contender if she can recapture her better winter form, while HOOKED ON WEALTH (19) will find this harder than last start, but he brings winning form and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cash to win.
