MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Dominant Clean Sweep Handicap 1250m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. Sectional 608m.  

Expecting a genuine tempo from Cork Harbour booting up along the inside with Trantoro and Cuban Waters showing speed. TOUGH TALK (2) has put two smart wins together to open the prep and the splits suggest there’s still more under the hood. Kept fresh with a month between runs and is well placed to bring up the hat-trick. ONE MORE SONG (9) returns after a perfect 2/2 campaign last time in. He’s been readied with two trials, though the wide alley is the challenge. SASSY FOR SURE (10) was solid fresh then ran into a sharp one at headquarters last start. She’s peaking now and the rise in trip is ideal. Expect her to be warming late. DAZELLES (14) broke through stylishly two back then just felt the pinch late here two weeks ago behind a smart winner. She’s at peak fitness and has enough early dash to offset the sticky draw. CORK HARBOUR (3) was too bad to be true last time but his prior figures are good enough to be competitive, so he’s worth keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tough Talk to win again.
