Morphettville Race 8 - The Fotobase Group Morphettville Guineas (L)
DIRTY OLD TOWN (9) has really gone on it with it since shedding her maiden tag three back. Has been rounding them up with arrogant wins and looks set to relish the rise to the mile. Holder sticks and if he can settle her a bit closer from the inside alley, she will prove awfully hard to stop. CANNAE (5) got off the mark in style on the Heath last start when finishing full of running. 1600m looks perfect for him and J Melham rides from a favourable draw. Big threat. BOOTLEGGER (3) was cut down by DOT in the shadows of the post last time. Strips fitter third-up so can dig a little deeper this time. UPTOWN MONK (8) made a mess of his maiden rivals at Strathalbyn last month and has kept the legs ticking over with a sharp trial win. Progressive type but slight query with the sharp rise to the mile. MOSTLY FOR SHOW (2) was well below his best behind DOT last start. Backs up quickly and is capable of a lot more. Don't dismiss.

Fitter, so can dig deeper.

He is resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 11 at Seymour Bm62 September 11 over 1600m, soft track; 7 len behind Acta Non Verba carrying 57.5kg at $5. On debut won by 2.5 len Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 19 over 1400m defeating Call Me Phil with 57kg at $3.30. Prefer to see how he returns.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at Morphettville Parks 3yo Bm72 February 28 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Freedom Flame carrying 58.5kg at $4.20. The race before that won by a long-neck at this track Cl2 February 7 over 1600m defeating Flaming Eyes with 58kg at $4.60. Continues to take that next step - deserves her chance.

Most recently 2nd of 7 at Gawler Cl1 on February 11 over 1508m, 2.75 len behind Joviale with 58kg at $1.70. The race before that favourite; won by 2.25 len at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw February 4 over 1400m defeating Fearless Monarch with 55kg at $1.80. Likely to find this out of reach.
