GOING: G

The Big Screen Company Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   True Entire Circuit  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with Derelict, Battaglia and Belriah prominent. MOUNT DOVE (7) in what was her second run this prep did well to win last start over 1000m at Bairnsdale after making a poor beginning. She is trained here and jumping from a good draw looks well placed to go close to scoring another victory. DARCEANDERMILL (4) is resuming from a spell and having won twice previously when produced fresh-up should attract plenty of support. He has won over today's distance at this track and looks a strong chance to add to that record today. BATTAGLIA (5) resumes from a spell having placed third of 11 over 1543m at Geelong last start He is trained on this track and having placed previously when produced fresh-up should be included in exotic bets. DE LA ROCHA (6) resumes from a spell and having placed previously when produced fresh-up is well worth a second look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Battaglia each-way.
