Racing media will tell you Desert Boots is on a 3 year losing spell, however 784 days of that has been spent
off the track, and there's clearly a reason as to why he's remained in training. He was beaten 2 lengths or less in a trio of runs last season off 67 in higher graded 0-65/70 races, and again placed off 64 at Lingfield around this time last year. He was then held up without ever threatening in a trio of runs to round out the season and he's since made the move to John Butler, for whom similar unthreatening tactics have been deployed in both starts this season. Obviously it's pure speculation
that today is the day the handbrake is finally released, however he's now down off a mark of 53 in a lowly 0-55 grade, and the booking of Luke Morris rates a strong one - all the more reason as to why he'll be trying today. He's syndicate owned, looks a decent plot prospect, and his opening price is certainly one connections can score a decent payout from.
