GOING: G

Mallee Big Screen Hire Maiden Plate 1409m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 3.5m 800m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.80)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Customer Service heading them off. CUSTOMER SERVICE (2) attracted market support on debut - $7.50 into $5.50 - in a much stronger race than this on debut and raced in a prominent position before knocking up late. Will be much better for that outing, has drawn ideally and strikes the right class of race to break through. SUPIDO'S LITTLEONE (10) has had her fair share of chances but this is one of the more winnable races she has contested. A repeat of any of her past four efforts would be good enough to at least figure in the finish here. MRS PENNY CRACKER (9) couldn't get the job done when trained in Victoria, but has trialled well for the new SA stable and might be an improver. FOXWEDGE ARROW (4) is another who will benefit from the debut effort and looks suited by the rise in trip. CALM DOWN SHERIFF (7) has only placed once from nine starts but draws to be a key player and gets in well after the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Customer Service to win.
