GOING: S(6)

Cathcart Smash Repairs Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Scoobartie and Codename leading the way. SCOOBARTIE (4) is knocking on the door and finds the right race. He's just found one better in both starts this time in at Swan Hill and will kick up from the inside gate in what looks a winnable affair. CODENAME (1) has finished third in all three runs this time in, trying hard at Donald on heavy ground last start. He looks a logical danger. SCUSIES (9) resumes. She mixed her form last time in but showed glimpses of ability and can be better this time around. Look for him to be hitting the line. JASMINA (8) has been okay in two runs back on heavy ground and can challenge for a top three finish. SPARKLING AWARD (10) struggled at Pakenham last time but was thereabouts fresh and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Scoobartie to win.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Donald Mdn-Sw on June 20 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Starburst with 59.5kg at $5. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 6 over 975m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Tatakai Uta carrying 58kg at $12. Drawn perfectly and has strong claims.
