MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

AIG Security Handicap 1950m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).  

Reasonable tempo with Sandastan probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. LAVISH THINKER (5) doesn't win out of turn but is going much better than his form reads. Has savaged the line in both runs back. The rise in trip looks perfect third-up and will take plenty of stitching, especially if Neindorf can utilise the inside draw. ON THE SCENT (4) has returned in great form this campaign. Found himself too far back six days ago in the Halidon Cup but did get going late to just miss the frame. Added trip suits and he's an obvious threat. SANDASTAN (1) beat home On The Scent in the Cup. Meets him a touch worse at the weights but is drawn to take closer order. Warrants serious consideration. EIGHT ON THE DOT (7) is ticking along nicely this campaign and can add some juice to exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lavish Thinker to win.
