MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap (Heat of Festival State Sprint Series) 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.57).  

Strong early tempo assured with Pure Bliss, Dawn Issue and Shadowfax locking horns. ROCKSTAR MEGGSY (2) hasn't quite been able to threaten in her last two but will find this much easier. Drops back in trip off the short freshen and is aided at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged. Plenty to like. FOXY FEMME (8) was denied a long neck of resuming a winner last start. The rise in trip will assist her chances significantly and also has the benefit of a soft draw. Right in this. PURE BLISS (10) knuckled down gamely to shed the maiden tag at Oakbank last time. The form from the race has stuck up superbly. Can go on with it now. TOI ET MOI (12) and EGYPTIAN TYCOON (5) carry similar formlines and other live chances. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rockstar Meggsy to win.
