GOING: G

Ladbrokes Cash Out (Bm64) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

The in form Pickup The Pieces should lead the way. PICKUP THE PIECES has won her last two runs and looks hard to beat again. Comfortable winner this class last time and with the claim here will take catching again. WINNING PARTNER was runner up in this class last time when resuming. Fitter and will be winding up hard here. DOGMATIC has been freshened since winning his maiden last time. Has upside and draw for a nice run. GOLD SPARK is also a last start winner who can go on with it. SUNRISE DANCER can feature again in a wide open race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Play the multis around Pickup The Pieces and Winning Partner.

Racing well. Last outing won by 2-1/4 len Sandown-Lakeside 3yo F (Bm64) Feb 6 over 1300m defeating Remuera with 58kg. The run before that tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1/2 len (overraced middle stages) Kyneton (Bm64) Jan 16 over 1200m defeating Ellehcim carrying 54kg. Rates highly and will take catching again with the claim.

Having second run back today. First-up after two months began awkwardly; 2nd of 7 runners at Morphettville Parks (Bm64) Feb 2 over 1250m, 3/4 len behind Knotted carrying 56.5kg.

Encouraging debut won by 1/2 len (hung out near 500m) Kyneton 3yo Mdn Feb 2 over 1100m defeating Black Opal carrying 58kg. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher and can't see him improving on that. Prefer others.
