MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   16 May 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Aceit Transport Solutions Handicap 1550m

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

Solid tempo set by Doctor Robert and Sparkup. Hard to miss the run of GRINZINGER HALO (11) last time. Drew off the track and went right back to the tail but powered home into fourth in a richer contest on the main track. This suits and gets chance to break through. BRAVE STAR (3) is building to a win, the latest placing at the provincials when kept coming. Drawn for a soft run and will explode late. PHINEAS (6) has been thereabouts without winning but has been racing in tougher company. Wide gate but should be motoring home late. CASINO SHOWGIRL (13) got home when the race was all over last time. Should be at top and with the minimum is worth another chance. JET JITSU (2) has been in great touch over the border winning the last two with big weight. Drops a couple of kilos and will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Grinzinger Halo.
