Morphettville hosts a huge ten race card this week – where have all these horses come from?
We managed to find Resurge when he was first up and see no reason to think we shouldn't stay on that tram.
He resumed at a mile and took a while to take the gap and surge through suggesting he only wants more ground. Being by So You Think you'd expect nothing less.
In his 3yo days he was asked to run in the SA Derby but that was too much.
He will likely get a similar run midfield, easing out for a run and hitting home hard once again.
We are getting good odds once more about a promising lightly raced horse in a field of well tried types.
The following race sees another McEvoy/Vorster combination hopefully to the fore when they run The Olympian in the BM58 over the mile.
We see a 3yo off two starts running against the older brigade in August which isn't the norm but his two runs have come late in the season so it's all one prep.
Given that he is by Olympic Glory, getting out to this journey is what he needs.
He's been well in the betting both starts but this is far more suitable. A bigger track and good pace can only help too.
He may get back off this draw but wind up down the middle at nice odds.
