MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   10 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

M&J Chickens Class 1 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +9m 1000 to WP, 5m Remainder. Sectional 612m.. (Pent: 5.41)  

Fussy As should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. MORLAIX (12) has been plagued by wide draws in her last couple and form is much better than it looks. Draws an ideal gate here and should enjoy a soft run off a strong pace. Won't get a better chance to break through. SIR MYKA (4) was tested in stakes class after an impressive debut win then put away again. Returned with a solid run over 1200m and looks ideally suited out in trip now. Has upside and worth following up at this level. BELLE FROM HELL (6) was a mile winner two back and then not disgraced in tougher company last time. Well placed in this line-up. URBANISE (2) led all the way when second up at Balaklava over 1300m to get off the mark. Won by a space and has upside. Among the leading hopes again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Morlaix drawn to get chance.
