MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Dequetteville Stakes 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post, True Remainder. Sectional 604m. (Pent: 5.38)  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but expect good early pressure. SISSTAINABLE (3) showed good improvement fresh when missing by a head at Sandown-Hillside. Draws well for Crowther and expect the race experience to prove invaluable. ARTISTIC ANGEL (4) was much better at the latest when sticking on gamely into the frame at Murray Bridge. Has further improvement in store and the stable put their main man on. Has to be taken seriously. BLUE HOTEL (7) is a nicely bred I Am Invincible filly on debut from Stakes winner Volcada, who has produced her fair share of winners. Douglas has readied her with some solid hit-outs. Market attraction will add confidence. BOA VISTA (8) returns for Price & Kent (Jnr). Found the G3 Chairman's too tough on debut but looks to have come back in good order. Should get a good run for Nunes from the draw. SKJALDMO (10) is another Victorian debutant that is worth monitoring. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sisstainable.
