MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(3)

Mac: Stop Drug Driving (Bm64) 1250m

Track:   Clear   Rail: Parks Track: True Position Entire Circuit; Main Track: Out 6m 1200m-W/Post; Out 3m the Remainder. Sectional:608m. (Pent: 5.5).  

Just Kappy, Any Beat, Shark Mirage and Kosmos Tercedes can all show early pace. BAKER'S DOZEN fought hard when resuming last start to just miss by a nose. Won his only previous second up attempt so expect he can progress on that effort. Really like the chances of BAKER'S DOZEN in the last. She was beaten a nose when resuming. That was in BM75 company so comes down in grade and is not badly in at the weights. Will do no work either. ECLAIR ATTACK looks the danger. He hasn't won for some time but will be better for that first up outing. Will get back but be hitting the line. JUST KAPPY will be an on-pacer. Would have preferred it softer but tries hard. DARK IMAGE is a bit the same way. Can't afford to give away too much start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Baker's Dozen to win off a good first up run.

Racing second-up today.
