GOING: H

Jim And Maureen Biggins Mdn 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Mostly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

RESETTHEODDS has placed 2/3 and was heavily-backed the latest. Resumes off the rail with a claim and expect her to be ready. FORTUNATUS debuts off an inside gate for David Jolly with Kah booked. This is winnable and get on if the backing is strong. Very little pace here but Nick's Night Out led last time and should go forward again. RESETTHEODDS is the clear top pick here. Was fourth on debut then placed next two before a spell. Trained here, has the inside gate, has the claim and the form on the board. Should go very close. IT'S OUR LIFE found traffic last time and should have finished much closer. Placed the start prior and looks well placed here. MAPLE'S IMAGE placed at first two runs back then wasn't far away latest. This much easier and looks the other major chance. Keep an eye on the betting with first starter FORTUNATUS. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Resettheodds but very wary of Fortunatus and will be checking the market.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign 3rd of 9 runners at Penola 2yo+ Mdn in Apr over 1400m, in the wet; 3-3/4 len behind Allegiant with 56kg. First ever start ran 4th of 10 starters at Mt Gambier 2yo+ Mdn in Apr over 900m, 2 len behind She's Got Magic with 56kg. Looks an ideal race to kick off in. Top hope.
