MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   27 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

Dominant Clean Sweep Handicap 1568m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: 6m 1000 to WP, 3m remainder. Sectional 608 Metres.  

Expecting Pierroplane to take up the running with Affaire Vue and Hidden Bounty close at hand. PIERROPLANE (3) followed up his dominant debut win with a gutsy on-pace effort at headquarters when beaten a lip. At his top now third-up and has enough dash to offset the wide alley. Can go one better on the quick turnaround. EMPIRE GRACE (7) caught the eye in her first two runs back but couldn't finish off in the same fashion last time. Peaking now and should appreciate the added trip. Gets in light with the 2kg claim and finally draws a gate. Big danger. WIND RUSH (2) is yet to strike through this prep but is knocking on the door. Backs up quickly after just missing on the main track last week and finds another suitable race. AFFAIRE VUE (9) was far from her best last time in the slop at Mt Gambier but was much better the start prior when getting the job done at Strathalbyn. Drops back to a winning trip and is worth keeping in mind. PETIT EAGLE (8) chased strongly into fourth two weeks ago at Murray Bridge and is going well enough to make his presence felt again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pierroplane to win.
