Morphettville Parks: Morphettville

19th August 2023

Winning Post-1500m: Racing returns to the Parks track again tomorrow, the first of consecutive weeks given the break from racing on the Main track. With 7 mls of rain overnight and 21 mls in the last week, the track walked in the genuinely Soft 7 range on Friday morning. The rail is in the true position for the entire circumference. There is still a good winter grass cover, and the track has taken on a definite Winter look, with rye grass now coming through the kikuyu thatch.

1500-800m (back straight): The back straight of this track walks well with a good cover of grass and with no marking. With the rail back in, it provides a consistent surface, although holding some moisture. A healthy cover of grass is evident coming off the 1400m chute joining onto this area and this section is in reasonably good order, although affected by the recent frost.

1400m-800m (chute): Even and good grass coverage during this section remains and will race evenly away from the fence. Horses will not be disadvantaged racing slightly away from the fence in this section of the track, with new ground three wide and out wider. This is the best part of the track as expected and remains well knitted with a good thatch of kikuyu present for this time of the year.

800m-400m: The coverage is even from the fence  out where there are no signs of any damage. It walks consistently away from the fence and as expected, fields will start to fan into the straight, with a consistent coverage of grass in this area. From the three wide line out, is in good order, with horses not disadvantaged from fanning wider here.

400m-Winning Post: Entering the straight you can see marking is spread further across the track, however with little damage evident. There are some signs of wear early in the straight on the fence and further out, with runners a chance of drifting off the fence rounding the home turn as the day goes on. For the remainder of the straight it presents fairly evenly and makes it achievable for the backmarkers to finish off out wide in clear ground near the middle of the track. With the rail in the true, every runner should have a chance in the straight. Recent track gallops on the outside of the track are showing the usual wear for this time of the year, but horses won’t be out this far to be affected tomorrow.

Verdict: With the Soft 7 rating being posted on Friday morning, the track will only improve with continuing  clear skies on Friday and strong winds. The track looks similar to last meeting, with a definite winter look as the over sown rye grass now starts to be more predominant. For the most part we are on a consistent winter surface for Saturday, with little or no damage evident. The pattern of racing in the first part of the program will be the best guide when assessing chances later in the day, as well as any winds forecast during Saturday. A strong headwind prevailed in the home straight on Friday, indicating backmarkers with cover might be running home late if this continued through to Saturday afternoon.
