MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   16 May 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Dubai Focus to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BOUNCING BEYOND (9) is a lightly raced type with a strong record under Holder. Last start winner over this circuit and should be at top now after two runs back. Expected to go close again. TOSEN WATER (5) comes through a strong race behind Dobbinair last time and did the best of the fellow rivals here when runner-up. Races close to the speed and going well. Looks a leading chance again. BIG BRUTE (8) was a provincial winner two back then led and gave a sight in open class last time. Has the inside and will take catching this line-up. GINGER SINNER (4) ran a much-improved race second-up and looks ready to fire. Goes well over this course and distance and will be tough to stop. JILLADORA (2) is racing well and will be tough to stop late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Bouncing Beyond.
