MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   01 Oct 2016
 
GOING: S(6)

Ubet (Bm70) 1250m

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

On Electric Avenue even with the Blinkers off should be able to work across and dictate. Wide open race. COUNTER PULSE is capable of far better than what he's produced so far this campaign having placed at Group level as a younger horse. A rise to 1250m should be of benefit and the gelding boasts an imposing record on the Parks circuit. The Blinkers being removed could also provide a change up which sparks him. Wide open sprint handicap here. COUNTER PULSE doesn't get best run at it too often but importantly has won three of four this circuit. He gets a soft run all the way and just needs to get out when required. WAPPING did a fine job last outing but it was on a heavy track. He goes well for his jockey but just monitor the conditions. DOUBLE POCKETS backs up which could turn his form around. He's one who has been crying out for a drier track. The claim helps too. LOQUETEUX showed vast improvement second up. Wish he wasn't dropping in journey. TRUENO is down in grade on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Multiples with Counter Pulse, Loqueteux and Kingsgrove.
