Naracoorte Race 1 - Vale Leith Gale Mdn Plate
PRETTY MORSEL (7) ran a better race last start when she worked home well to finish a close third over 1200m at Strathalbyn. Strips fitter third-up and is ideally to finally get off the mark. FOMENTER (2) showed good tactical speed on debut but just tired late when sent out fav at Strathalbyn. Is sure to have come on from that and is drawn to advantage for Opperman. Big threat. ROAD TO THE CITY (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out at Port Augusta. Carries a fitness edge and is in the mix. PEYTON JANE (6) battled on soundly into fourth when resuming at Mt Gambier three weeks ago. Fitter now and is an each-way shot.

Third-up today. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading 12th of 14 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Murray Bridge on August 5 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Goodlookin' Guru with 56kg at $51. Second run from a spell raced on the pace before fading 8th of 14 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Murray Bridge on August 12 over 1400m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Dirty Deal with 58kg at $81. Not much to like about his prospects.

Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Port Augusta on August 23 over 1498m, 4 len behind Kohala carrying 58kg at $4.20.

Sure to be right there at the business end.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 6th of 14 in a 2yo+ Mdn-Sw at Balaklava on June 14 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Sahha Sweetie with 56kg at $51. Last start 6th of 14 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Murray Bridge on August 12 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Dirty Deal carrying 56kg at $21. Has plenty of upside and can play a feature role.
