Race Tip

MURRAY FACTOR (6) was well supported when resuming last time out over 6¾f at Donald and proved too strong, scoring by a nose. Will be better for that latest run and another win looks on the cards. PORTATION (3) showed good speed to lead over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks last start but faded right out of it to finish tenth. Should enjoy the significant drop in grade. Will be hard to stop. MERCHANT BOSS (5) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 7f at Morphettville Parks. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. FIRST RETURN (7) finished third last time over 6f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
