Winning Weather (Morphettville Race 2 No. 1)

She resumed after 20 weeks for 2.1 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Morphettville on 31 October, then fought gamely when challenged for a narrow win over 1250m at Morphettville Parks on 25 November. With the 3kg claim she carries less weight and can win again.
