GOING: G(4)

Select Office Supplies Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Solid tempo with Steam Rolled going forward from the good alley. FRAM STRAIT (4) was one of the best things beaten you're ever likely to see last start. Held up for most of the race and still beaten less than two lengths. Needless to say he should have won, which was his first start as a gelding, and he had trialled well previously to suggest an improved performance was on the cards. Have to forgive that performance and while the wide gate looks ugly on paper it at least should ensure there's no repeat of last start. SASSIDORA (12) has been around the mark in most starts and been beaten less than half-a-length her past two, so it's hard to envisage her not playing a key role again from the gun draw. SO YOU EXCEL (13) has had both runs back this time in handy Sale maidens and was a big improver second-up, so from a good draw she looks a major player. DEEPSEEK (3) wasn't beaten far when in the market on debut, so deserves another chance. DOUBT IT'S LOVE (11) will find this easier than some of the prior starts and draws gate 1. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fram Strait to win.

Second-up. First-up after seven months from last on the turn 5th of 7 at Sale Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1006m, 3 len behind Cattle Camp with 59.5kg at $6. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on September 11 over 1000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Star Trip carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind White Hot Mama carrying 59.5kg at $8. The race before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on April 3 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Mr Crafty carrying 59.5kg at $1.85. Going well. Nicely placed and cannot be discounted despite the horror alley.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, sat on the pace before fading to run last of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1000m, 20 len behind Giddy Girl carrying 59kg at $151. Second-up 4th in a small field at Balnarring Pic-Mdn-Sw on April 11 over 1008m, slow going 3 len behind Adavale carrying 64kg at $8.50. Well held on debut then failed to place at the picnics, so this is too rich.

Form hard to fault. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 7 at Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1200m, long-neck behind Rose Sangria with 57.5kg at $5. The race before that 2nd of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1200m, nose behind Divine Empress carrying 57kg at $8. Strong chance based on that form, particularly over her favoured journey.
