An Early Look at Morphettville - August 24th

James Jordan from Racing.com has provided us with an early look at racing at Morphettville for Saturday August 24. 

Race 1 No.5 Hafaawa

I like the way this filly is heading and she's been good at both runs this time in. First-up she was brave over 1200m in a truly run race and then she accounted for her opposition pretty easily last start to break her maiden. There are a few in this race that can gallop but the deciding factor for me was the claim. I think with a 5.5kg swing on Roccabascerana she can get over the top of him late. She might shorten slightly from her current quote if at all, best available is Bet365 at $3.25 but most agencies are offering $3.10.

Race 3 No.2 Arty Lucas

The blinkers came off last start and he was able to dictate the tempo from his position outside the leader. He rises 2kgs for this but meets a similar field, perhaps slightly weaker with no Good Idea in the acceptors. Once again, he should sit outside the leader and be very hard to beat. I priced him $1.95 so it's touch and go as a 'value' bet. Best price available is Topsport at $2.05 with the majority at $2.00. I can't see his price getting out between now and the jump.
