GOING: H

Jockey Celebration Day Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 900m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 6.45)  

Not expecting much speed here in a race devoid of on-pacers. Like most of the Price Bloodstock horses, TEE EIGHT (4) was given a solid grounding with a number of jumpouts and trials before the first start and looks ready to peak after two adequate runs to start the career. Will be better for the experience at 1600m and has drawn ideally in gate one. HABITEIN (2) was comfortably-held last time out, but went close on debut and those two efforts have been hinted at 1600m being more to his liking. UNPLANNED REVOLT (5) is the lone first-starter in the field and Shane Jackson looks to have found a winnable debut option off the back of a recent jumpout win, especially from what looks a great draw in three. ISOTROPIC (6) didn't get warm last start, but dropped back to 1400m and will be better for that outing back up to a mile. Significantly, she's also run well here before. MORISU OJO (11) is from one of the country's top stables, so might improve up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tee Eight to win.

Most recently second last of 13 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on July 11 over 1740m, slow going 16 len behind Perfect Ten carrying 59.5kg at $101. The start before that 6th of 11 at Donald Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1628m, on a slow track; 6 len behind High Tempo carrying 59.5kg at $19. Needs to improve sharply and draw doesn't assist.

Gelding by Rebel Raider facing the starter for the first time. Won a Casterton jump-out on July 28. Recent jumpout winner from a stable in form and drawn well, so strikes a winnable debut option.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on July 17 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Taka Speed with 57.5kg at $8. The start before that came from midfield; 2nd of 14 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 29 over 1600m, slow going 0.8 len behind Elation And Joy with 57.5kg at $6.50. Well held last start, but better suited here, where she has run well in the past.
