MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

Quayclean Handicap 1550m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).  

Wild Winner should spear straight to the front of the small field. GOLDRUSH GURU (1) hasn't taken a step wrong in his two resuming efforts, lengthening nicely again here last time to score with a bit up his sleeve. Carries more weight but doubt that will hinder him a great deal. BIG BRUTE (2) bounced back sharply off a disappointing run in the Sires with a solid chase into the frame at Flemington. No tougher this time and gets in well at the weights with the claimer reuniting. Main danger. WILD WINNER (4) was a determined maiden winner last start when going forward at Balaklava. Holder sticks from another favourable draw. Should be in this for a long way. MONDELLO (6) and QUEENOFTHEAIR (3) finished behind Wild Winner last start. Both meet the winner better at the weights this time and warrant good thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Goldrush Guru to bring up the hat-trick.
