Morphettville Race 1 - The Junction (Bm76)
MATAHGA (2) was excellent first-up over a trip short of his best, good through line and only just missing the placings in a blanket finish. He'll take strong improvement from that and should relish rising to the mile. BOOTLEGGER (1) thrived stepping to the mile third-up, knuckling down to claim the LR Morphettville Guineas on Cup day. He gets in well again with the 3kg claim and looks a great chance to go back-to-back in this small field. MOSTLY FOR SHOW (3) also comes through the Guineas, where he left himself with too much to do but did warm late. With only four runners engaged he should settle much closer, and it wouldn't shock to see him turn the tables. FLYING BRANT (5) shed his maiden tidily last start but this is a steep rise in class.

At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track LR Morp Guin March 9 over 1600m defeating Cannae with 57.5kg at $8. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 7 at Morphettville Parks 3yo Bm72 on February 28 over 1400m, slow going head behind Dirty Old Town with 59.5kg at $6.50. Is well placed to keep the ball rolling.

Second-up. First-up after four months second last of 7 at Morphettville Parks 3yo Bm72 on March 14 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Oak Park Maddison with 59.5kg at $7. Previously second-up 13th of 15 at Flemington in the LR Batman Stks on November 4 over 1800m, slow going 11 len behind Different Gravy with 58kg at $8. Will appreciate the rise to 1600m with that run under his belt.

Last start 5th of 9 at this track in the LR Morp Guin on March 9 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Bootlegger with 57.5kg at $13. The run before that 4th of 7 at Morphettville Parks 3yo Bm72 on February 28 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Dirty Old Town with 60kg at $3.70. Peaking now and gets his chance in a small field.

Raced twice to date. At debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 22 over 1400m, head behind I'm A Hottie with 57kg at $9. Last start favourite; won by 0.8 len at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw March 4 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Discreetly Blue with 57kg at $3.30. Has upside but will have to take a significant leap to win.
