Poitier (Morphettville R7 No.12) - is a fascinating runner, perhaps THE fascinating runner in Adelaide this weekend. He's always been a pretty fair horse. In fact, trainer David Hayes started him off in a Blue Diamond Prelude. He finished 8th off 11 beaten 6.9-lens by Sepoy who won by 3.5-lens and the Hayes horse was disappointed for a run. Had a year off after that and resumed with a crushing 4.3lens win at Mornington. Hasn't gone on to any real heights after that but he's a handy horse no doubt about it and you can bet he's done enough work at home to make a real impact.
