Say From SA: Morphettville – 11th April 2020

This is the old Oakbank meeting held at Morphettville for this year because of all the dramas and the Listed Railway Stakes looks to have few chances.

Under those circumstances, there seems great odds about Bold Star given his previous form lines.

After a series of great straight track runs including a Kensington Stakes win and Standish placing, he went to the Rubiton and was still fantastic behind Anaheed.

The Oakleigh Plate run can be totally forgiven as it was a leader's track and he was back near last.

While the 62kg looks big, it is on a 56kg limit and most of those are out of the handicap.

Onto the last where Lucky Flipper also carries top weight in an open BM68 handicap.

She was just fair on resumption but then on this track went further forward and drew away late a month ago.

While the barrier looks a problem, expecting they would use the same tactics employed in the win and should Kayla Crowther get there without using too much petrol, it's not a tough race to win again.

That break between runs didn't harm her last time so the value each way play fits best.
