Race 2 – 3:30pm: Maiden (1000m)
Four of the ten runners on debut here for the twilight meeting at Morphettville.
We put (6) FASHIZLEMANIZLE in the black book after its first trial at Murray Bridge on 18/9 and he finds a very suitable race on debut. He stepped slightly slowly in the trial but quickly mustered speed to get up outside the leaders. He was a bit green in the straight but we liked his action and work through the line. From gate 3 if he steps away cleanly he’s a top chance in a moderate race.
Of the other debutantes, (7) MY IVA showed speed at the trials and went well, running 2nd in what looked a moderate heat. (9) GO ASK ALICE and (10) SOUL SLIDES AWAY trialled fairly and would be surprised to see them winning.
The pick of the raced brigade is (8) ANOTHER BRIDE who returns fresh off a 72 day break for her second prep. The trials before the first prep were good and with natural improvement will be competitive.
Betting Suggestion:
Back (6) FASHIZLEMANIZLE to win this on debut.
Race 7 – 6:24pm: 0-56 (1000m)
There looks good speed in this which should allow (2) TAINO ROCKET to slot in just behind the speed. Would have preferred him to draw closer to the rail but the map still looks ok. The two trials this time in for the new yard of Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor have been very pleasing. Particularly liked the way he went at his most recent trial. Looks to have improved with the new camp and Todd Pannell is riding exceptionally well at the moment.
Very even outside of him. (7) DE LUCA’s form last preparation is good enough to win this and the fresh run was sound enough. Gate 2 is an advantage, as is the claim for Brooke King. Chris Beig is in the middle of a purple patch and his runner (1) SHADOWFAX drops in grade for this and can win. Gets in ok with the claim and should get the right trail behind the speed.
Betting Suggestion:
Back (2) TAINO ROCKET to win with confidence.
