GOING: G(4)

Farm Fresh Market Hcp (C1) 1408m

Track: GOOD 3   Thunderstorms Early   Rail: Out 2m 1500m to 1000m. 3m Remainder, Sectional 604m.  

Just Mak can push forward from a wider draw. HALAYR ROTHESTAR doesn't win a lot but is racing consistently including a closing third in Saturday grade in the city last time. Has a good record at this course and is aided by a 3kg claim and gate three. JUST MAK will come over and lead or trail and the form this time in reads positively for this. Finished it off well placing at Gawler last start and has more up the sleeve. HALAYR ROTHESTAR gets back but has hit the line well to place the last two and the most recent was a stronger city contest. Gets the handy 3kg claim today. SAR SAR is an improver and the blinkers are applied first time. MISS COMMUNICATION and ALOE VERA are others to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Halayr Rothestar dropping back from city grade.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only had one start last campaign slowly away; ran last at Morphettville (Bm64) in Nov 2015 over 1600m, 24-3/4 len behind Burnro with 54.5kg.

Has been thereabouts in past efforts, but needs to have made sharp improvement.
