MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund Handicap 1250m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-W/Post, True Remainder, Sectional 604m. (Pent: 5.25).  

Hot Off and Rising Legend possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. FALANGHINA (9) was too bad to be true last start when tailing right out. Has been freshened with a 28-day break and drops back to a winning trip. Blinkers on first time should have sharp. Bold showing anticipated. GUMERACHA CRACKER (12) shed the maiden tag in fine style here three weeks ago. Full of confidence and can go on with it now. Holder sticking another positive. EVEN SHARPER (6) was an eye-catcher here last start when flashing home into the frame. Will drift back again from the ugly draw and be saved for the final crack at them. VOLTAGE POINT (4) is ticking along nicely and is aided at the weights with the 3kg claimer going on. Can make his presence felt. RISING LEGEND (3) is 1/1 over the track and trip and will be nearing his peak. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Falanghina to win.
