GOING: S(5)

Mallee Big Screen Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Moderate tempo with Sister Paula leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RAVENITE (11) has gone close in what appear stronger races than this at two runs this time and started $4.20 when not beaten far on debut at Flemington. Looks the testing material. BUDJIK BOY (1) has support last start on his home track and ran well in what was a good audition for this. VICTORIS (4) hasn't been to the races yet but put the writing on the wall for a good showing here with a nice trial win at Stawell. DISSALTO (2) needs to lift but will find this more than a touch easier than last start Sandown maiden. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ravenite to break through.

Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Hamilton 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1200m, 2 len behind Thailess carrying 56.5kg at $12. Supported at nice odds last start and ran well, which looks a good springboard for this.
