GOING: G

Fifth Leg Hcp (C5) 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Rail is at the inside position. (Pent: 5.5).  

The top two selections provide the speed. HE SAID SHE SAID has missed a lip his last two and gets another chance. THE DELOREAN ran a string of quinellas before the big Maiden win as the market expected. Draws inside and can go on. A BIT SKETCHY missed a whisker LS returning to her best. She’s well in the mix. He Said She Said is a quick beginner and will lead from THE DELOREAN who is the form runner in the race. Broke a string of minor placings last start with a dominant all-the-way win over 1760m here. Up sharply in class today but has been racing very well for some time and can take the next step. A BIT SKETCHY worked home in good style last start to finish runner up at her first run over this trip for some time. That outing will top her off nicely for this. HE SAID SHE SAID was nutted on the post last time out over this distance after taking control early in the race. Free-wheeler who is always difficult to catch. TOTAL ECLIPSE impressed first up and looks to be in for a good prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: He Said She Said may represent a bit of value.

Impressive in recent runs. Last run held ground to the line 2nd of 11 starters at this track 3yo+ Hcp (C2) Sep 17 over 1600m, a head behind Booma Lacka carrying 59kg. Run before led throughout and just faded 2nd of 16 runners at this track 3yo+ Hcp (C2) Sep 3 over 1760m, a nose behind Pick Up Line with 58.5kg. Might prove hard to reel in.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last run odds-on favourite; won by 2 len (fractious in barriers) this track 3yo+ Mdn Sep 10 over 1760m defeating Monkey Bar carrying 58kg. Run before fractious in barriers and jumped awkwardly; 2nd in a small field at this track 3yo+ Mdn Aug 27 over 1600m, 1-1/4 len behind Booma Lacka carrying 58kg. Progressing well this campaign. Gets tougher now but racing too well to overlook.

Last run 3rd of 10 runners at this track 3yo+ (Bm58+) Sep 3 over 1600m, 1-1/2 len behind Thidwick The Moose with 54kg. Start before wide throughout; sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 starters at this track 3yo+ (Bm58+) Aug 20 over 1400m, 4-1/2 len behind Mudlode carrying 54kg. Not the roughest based on his latest effort.
