Stawell   20 Feb 2019
 
GOING: G

Tac (Bm64) 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.27).  

Small field and little in the way of speed. CHATTERING has been racing well and looks a leading player. Fourth in tougher class latest and was a winner the start prior. Back in grade here and can bounce back. LEISHMAN was thereabouts this class latest over seven furlongs. Drawn well and looks a top chance. BIG BAD BAZ ran well fresh without a lot going right. This easier and extra trip a plus. Will be further improved over further but go close this company. GODZONE GIRL is fitter and will also be much improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chattering can bounce back.

Racing well. Last outing tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 starters at Colac (Bm70) Feb 10 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2-1/4 len behind Semari with 55.5kg. The race before that won by 3/4 len Stony Creek (Bm58) Feb 1 over 1600m defeating Catching Beams carrying 56.5kg. Easier here and can bounce back.

Racing second-up today. First-up after eight months always towards the rear ran last at Kyneton 3yo+ (Bm64) Feb 12 over 1469m, slow going 13-1/2 len behind Gasworx carrying 58kg. Previously second-up overraced early stages; sat on the pace then 3rd of 11 starters at Ballarat (Bm58) in Feb 2018 over 2000m, 2-1/4 len behind Antagonist with 59kg. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Useful gelding. Last run raced three wide; ran last at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo (Bm70) Feb 6 over 1600m, 5 len behind Piemonte with 57kg. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 5th of 9 runners at Geelong Hcp (C1) Jan 27 over 1700m, 5-3/4 len behind Tavsomefun with 58.5kg. Not racing well but has claims.

Second-up today. Fresh up after seven months came from midfield; 6th of 11 runners at Werribee (Bm58) Jan 31 over 1420m, 5-3/4 len behind Global Exchange carrying 58kg. Previously second-up raced on the pace before fading to run last at this track (Bm58) in Jan 2018 over 1600m, on a slow track; 6-1/2 len behind Speed Stinger with 58kg. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here.
