MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   16 May 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

The Dominant Advantage Handicap 1950m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Crown And Anchor, Our Sassy Lady and Romans Luck, with Smother and Joviale on their heels. UNITED LEGEND (8) circled the field and came away with a strong win last time at the provincials. Drops in weight and will be tough late. Can measure up again. ROMANS LUCK (1) resumed for the new yard and gave a huge sight fresh, leading until late on the main track here. Fitter and aided by the claim will be in this for a long way. JOVIALE (6) got home hard and beat all but Wine Barron last time. Place only try this slightly longer trip and will keep coming. SMOTHER (5) was well fancied last weekend and didn't have the clearest run home, just missing the frame. Looks a top chance this line-up. On the quick back-up and can atone. EIGHT ON THE DOT (10) wasn't far away last time at odds and drops further in the weights with the claims. Might be overs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on United Legend.
