MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m 1000m-W/Post, +6m Remainder Sectional 612m. (Pent: 5.55)  

Lalor and Czech Out can lead the small field. The 2YOs kick us off and THE SPEED MACHINE (3) looks the one to beat. The Hanseatic gelding has shown sharp speed in two jump-out wins and gets Holder for his debut. LALOR (1) was well backed on debut but faded late after doing the work in front. Can go one better with that run under his belt. CZECH OUT (2) wasn’t far away here on debut in December and looks to have taken the next step after a solid jump out. Looks to have found a tough race but can fill a drum. VANDAROSS (5) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Speed Machine to win.
