MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   01 Oct 2016
 
GOING: S(6)

Kerri Turnbull (Bm90) 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 8m 1000-400. Out 6m to WP. Out 5m Remainder. Sectional 610m. (Pent: 6.89).  

I Am Gypsy can boot up from barrier 1 while Classy Jack should also be there from barrier 2. BAY ROAD dropped back from six furlongs last start and subsequently returned to form, finishing a narrow third to Classy Jack. The gelding possesses an excellent record on the Parks circuit having won here first up in the same class. CASINO WIZARD ran some big races last campaign which included a 1250m event here where he defeated subsequent stakes winner and Group 1 runner up Voodoo Lad. He is an honest type who possesses a good record at the course. Solid race this one. Will fitness play its part? BAY ROAD will be running along in front as he likes to do. He won three starts back over this course and distance carrying the same weight. He likes it here and will be there right to the end. CASINO WIZARD is the resumer with good credentials. He's run some very decent races even above this level. He can get last shot at them. USAIN DANE keeps running honestly without winning. The light weight will come in very handy. EL PRADO GOLD went so close three weeks ago. Query is he hasn't won for a long time. CLASSY JACK drops back off the Wylie Hcp effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exotics with Bay Road, Casino Wizard, Usain Dane and Classy Jack.

Can't see him improving on fresh performance.
