MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: H

Croser Handicap 1950m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder. Sectional 612m. (Pent: 7).  

Pace solid from Run On going forward from an outside draw, along with Cleitus drawn inside. CLEITUS (4) lengthened nicely to get the verdict two back at Werribee. Followed it up with a reasonable effort at Ballarat when battling on into the minor placings. Should be nearing his peak now and is drawn to get all the favours with Holder taking over. Bold showing anticipated. ICHIBANSAN (1) hit the line nicely last start at Murray Bridge when notching up his second minor finish on the bounce. Steps out to a trip he relishes now and has had his share of success at this venue. Big chance. HAYAI MESU (9) is ticking along nicely without getting the desired results. Gets in low at the weights and rates highly on best figures. Worth good thought. DINGABLEDINGA (6) tackles a tougher assignment as he shoots for the hat-trick but has to be respected. TAPA CAPALL (3) should be nearing his peak third-up and is another that is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Cleitus.
