GOING: G(4)

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Marines Cry should spear straight to the front of the small field. MARINES CRY (4) sat on the speed and ran away to score by 2.8L at this track last time out. Back to 1200m here, but with the speed she showed last start that shouldn't be an issue. Can find the front again from an inside barrier and repeat the dose. GOOD VIBES (3) settled midfield but ran over the top to score by 1L here first-up. Cheung's 3kg claim comes in handy now and he has a good record aboard the mare. Fitter now and she can get the job done again. PRETTY DEVINE (1) finished behind Good Vibes after leading the field here last time out. Webster's claim is a bonus to bring the weight down and the inside draw is likely to be on the speed. Can go one better without surprising. G'DAY BLOKE (6) will be fitter for that effort and he's a winner second-up in the past. Can improve. QUICK AS SILVER (7) is racing in good order and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marines Cry goes on top.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 2.75 len at this track March 2 over 1300m defeating Rivercrest Magic with 57.5kg at $4.80. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 11 at Ascot Westspeed Plat on January 31 over 1500m, 0.9 len behind Forever Dreaming with 52kg at $41. Far too good last time out and he can go on with the job.
