Victorian trainers heading to Adelaide is not unusual as they try to pick off metro wins for their younger horses and again this weekend is no exception.
Peter Moody is a marvel at it and he should get Fight To The Line to do just that in Race 2 at Morphettville Parks.
No matter the conditions this horse tries hard and he was hardly poor behind Miss Promiscuity at Flemington, when, like every other runner, he got windburn as she went on by.
Racing on the speed is his go and that has been a very good tactic at this track for a while now. Very hard to toss here.
Couldn't Agreemore has his first run back in Adelaide after going to the Northern Territory through the middle of last year.
He was generally competitive there but also remember he was second in the Nitschke Stakes last April.
Fresh up last campaign he bolted in at Gawler over six furlongs. While that was a maiden he has won a trial giving him a positive lead in to this event.
One runner who might go around under the odds is Dontmentionthewar for Tony McEvoy in Race 6.
His two runs back have been right up to this mark and finds an easier race to the one he contested on 4 January.
The query for him is this is his first attempt at 1400m for over a year but his best runs are fresh and also over 1200m and shorter.
He doesn’t get involved early in his races so will be giving away start and that can be a hurdle at the Parks circuit. He might be too short to be backing.
