MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   07 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S

SkyCity Handicap 1250m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder, Sectional 612m. (Pent: 6.01).  

Pace looks genuine from Jacks On Ice and All Beans closely attended by Struck Gold. SIXTEEN REASONS (7) raced wide and without cover throughout here last start when finishing midfield. Meets the winner (The Guava) with a considerable weight swing this time with the 2kg claimer engaged and is drawn much kinder. Has her share of ability and is perfectly placed to make a return to the winner's circle. THE GUAVA (3) had it all go right for him here last start and was good enough to capitalise. Has another nice set-up and is sure to be in this for a very long way. JACKS ON ICE (1) found the 1000m to sharp for him when returning behind the in-form Lingani here three weeks ago. Much better placed over this distance, where he's a seven-time winner. 3kg claimer stays on to aid the big weight. Winning hope. Smaller cases can also be made for EXALTED DAME (5) and CULLEN SKINK (8) on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sixteen Reasons to win.
