MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   17 May 2025
 
GOING: G

The Fotobase Group Handicap 1250m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m Entire; Sectional 606m. (Pent: 5.48)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Shisuta Bo. NURYS (6) tackled a much tougher field last week in the G3 Proud Miss Stakes and briefly looked a threat before the class rise told. Her form prior to that stands up strongly and this drop back in grade should suit perfectly. Expect her to be storming home late. TOSEN WATER (4) has been close without winning in both runs this prep and looks ready to strike. She drops back to a more suitable trip and gets every chance to snap her winless run. SHISUTA BO (1) was narrowly denied when resuming and is unbeaten over this track and trip. She draws well, gets weight relief with the claim, and can play a major role. AMELIA VALENTINA (14) is next best and worth keeping in mind for wider exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Nurys.
