Race 5 — TABtouch Regional Championship Series Heat (Rs0mw) 1200m · jumps

Race preview

Kalgoorlie's fifth race is a 1200m Tabtouch Regional Championship Series Heat for horses aged three and older with no metro wins, run on a Good 4 track in overcast conditions at 7:40 pm AEDT. Morf is the shortest in the win market, followed by Just Famous, Door Buster, and Chipilly. Morf has won at this venue twice in succession, including a dominant 1200m result at this track last time out, and carries the leader tag in the speedMap. Just Famous is rated 100 on the IRD and arrives at an opportune moment with Jason Li's 3kg claim applied, though the runner goes up 7.5kg in weight here. Door Buster landed a narrow win over 1100m at this track last time out and is flagged as a major player, while Chipilly is narrowly favoured over Spangledstar and The Lions' Gate at the wider end of the market.

The case for Morf is hard to ignore. Lucy F Fiore's mount has strung together consecutive wins and holds a terrific record at this venue as a three-time winner. From barrier 8, the inside runner will be tested, but the formDetail shows Morf has early pace and has conquered sticky gates here before. Back-to-back victories over 1300m and 1200m at Kalgoorlie, both on GOOD track conditions, suggest the current surface suits. Just Famous shapes as the contrarian lean at this stage. With the 3kg claim and a rating of 100, the runner is fitter second-up and carries experience around this track, though stepping up 7.5kg is a genuine impost. Door Buster won last start with a devastating burst from the back half over 1100m at this track, and that recent form in a 3yo+ Benchmark 58 is solid. Chipilly made all the running at this venue and went down only narrowly, flagged as one poised to improve and capable of leading or taking a sit.

The speedMap structure reveals Morf dominates as the sole Leader, with Spangledstar and Chipilly onpace, and Door Buster as the sole Backmarker. That tactical spread offers flexibility, though Morf's proven ability to control from the front at this exact track and distance makes the market's shortest price understandable. Just Famous, Dublin Red, and Natural Gem occupy the Offpace lane, while The Lions' Gate sits Offmidfield. The critical edge may come down to how Morf handles the wide gate, because if the leader can find clean air to the turn, the recent formline at 1200m suggests the field will need a superhorse to run it down.

Comments

AAP

No match but kept on for a distant third in the 3yo+ (Bm66+) this track off spell. Fitter second-up and takes a 3kg claim. Key contender.

ILB

Good run when finishing 3rd beaten by just short of 4L last time here. Jockey Jason Li and trainer Peter Fernie are a pair that can't be ignored. Will go very close.

RP

Achieved three wins at this venue; third, beaten 4l, here over 5½f (handicap) 15 days ago; likely player.

RSIS

Came on strongly when 3rd last run at the track. Jockey Jason Li and trainer Peter Fernie form a formidable team. The large claim from Jason Li should help. Has to be in the finish.

Comments

AAP

Shooting for hat-trick this venue. Terrific from the wide gate this venue. Sticky gate but has early pace. Going great guns and stays as a major threat.

ILB

Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of 2L last run at this venue. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Will be around the mark.

RP

Attempts to land a hat-trick and likes it here (three wins); successful by 2l over 6½f here (handicap) two weeks ago; must be high on list.

RSIS

Was much too pacey in front to win by a margin of 2L last time here. Won last 2 on the bounce. Has claims.

AAP

Form solid winning two of last three. Knuckled down strongly from back half to salute in the 3yo+ (Bm58+) BenchMark 58+ 1100m this track. Shapes as a major player again.

ILB

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time around here. Always seems to find the line well. Very tidy performer.

RP

Course regular who has won three times here; accounted for Chipilly and Natural Gem when winning by a short head over 5½f (handicap) 17 days ago; she's a serious player.

RSIS

Romped home to win last time at this venue. Will be motoring home late. Gets a solid chance here.

AAP

Knuckled down really well for a narrow win at Leonora over this distance. Has a tricky draw and rising in weight. Looks up against it.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Picked up nicely to win last start at Leonora but up in weight. Will struggle against these.

RP

Course specialist who has won four times here; scored by a slim margin in a handicap at Leonora last week; despite that Leonora success, makes little appeal.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Was eating up the ground late to win last time at Leonora but hoping that the added weight won't hurt.

Last of eight 15 days ago upped to 1m; knows how to win here; a lot on her plate here and there are better alternatives here.

Form has cooled in recent outings. Faces stronger opposition now. Needs to recapture form.

ILB

Started at $26.00 and faded away to finish 12th last start here. Does take a while to get into stride. Sound chance.

RP

Course specialist who has won four times here but generally modest form since handicap success at Kalgoorlie in June; finished last of 12 over 6½f here (handicap) two weeks ago 14l behind Morf; others have more pressing claims given the strong opposition here.

RSIS

At 25/1 couldn't stay in touch when 12th last start around here. Might be ridden for luck.

Had all before her at turn and went home tamely this venue first run back. Up in class. Others with stronger claims.

At 100/1 only fair when 7th last run around here but drawn nicely.

Comments

AAP

Made all the running and went down swinging this course. Can lead or take a sit. Right in this.

ILB

Just missed last start here. Displays good tactical speed. Possible place chance.

RP

Behind Door Buster here over 5½f (handicap) 17 days ago when not beaten far.

RSIS

Just short of the win last run here. Should muster plenty of early pace.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
