GOING: G

Celebrate Mother's Day with us 10 May BM64 Hcp 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.28).  

Doctor Coto possesses good early speed and should take up the running. ARTISTIC GENIUS (2) won easily at Ballarat two runs back then looked a shade disappointing last start in a Class 2 over this trip in Adelaide. Helped by the claim and should box-seat from gate one so expect him to bounce back. MACHINIST (1) surprised most when he got the cash first-up here at this trip recently. Lightly raced gelding who is building a decent record and shouldn't be underestimated again. Neasham brings DIAMOND CITY (9) to Victoria to launch this prep. Some doubts over her fitness as she hasn't raced since April 2023. Watch the betting. THAT CONTAGEOUS (3) is back from a brief spell. Didn't come up last prep but has won 2/4 when resuming so don't leave him out of calculations. ARROANCE (7) has been about the money of late. Drops sharply in the weights so might be a surprise packet at double-figure odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Artistic Genius another chance.

Second-up. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track Bm64 April 12 over 1000m in soft going defeating Esecutore with 57.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 5th of 7 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on October 4 over 1200m, 5 len behind Tidal Force with 55.5kg at $16. Worth consideration.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Morphettville Parks Cl2 on April 6 over 1000m, 4 len behind Losesomewinmore carrying 60kg at $3.30. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Ballarat 0 - 64 March 24 over 1000m defeating Clock Strikes carrying 59kg at $4. Winning prospects enhanced by the favourable stall.
