MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Race Replays Handicap 2294m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m 1000m-W/Post, +6m Remainder Sectional 612m. (Pent: 5.55)  

Pace strong with Bring Forth and Burning Bright leading with Savsonic nearby. BURNING BRIGHT (2) put it all together here last week when going on with the job after racing on speed. She can build off that career best effort and keep the momentum on the quick backup. BRING FORTH (3) was only nailed late by the in form Flag Flyer at Sandown-Hillside and now strips fitter third-up, boasting a strong record at 2000m+. Expect him to be in this for a very long way. EL JAMES (1) has built nicely this campaign and went to a new level last start when finishing 1.9L off them in the G3 Lord Reims. He's a progressive staying type who can give this a serious shake off a month between runs. SAVSONIC (5) is another ticking along well and hunting another win. She gets in light at the weights and should be making her presence felt. THEODOR (6) has improved sharply since rising to these staying trips and remains open to further progress on the short turnaround. SUGGESTED PLAY: Burning Bright can win again.
