It is Derby day, however Morphettville has some slightly easier races to find a winner - hopefully.
The day begins with a horse called Ocean Essence who gets a chance to be winning at metro level, especially now back into 3yo company.
The son of Ocean Park has been solid in Victoria but given that breeding has been crying out for more ground.
He is well placed after the 2kg claim for Chris Caserta and maybe they ride him that little bit closer this time.
It’s an even looking field but that factor of being more along staying lines will see him attacking the line.
Later in the day we’ll give Oberland another chance in similar colours.
He hasn’t won for 21 months but he’s got a light weight finally in a weaker race than many he’s contested.
Likely to be back in the field, the small numbers will help mean he’s never that far off the leaders.
He can finish a race off very quickly.
