GOING: S(5)

Jarrod Arentz Electrical & Solar Solutions 3YO Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m 900m - 500m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo from Quarter Mile leading Do The Dirty. Liked the way MAGNUM (4) knuckled down late to grab a minor placing last time. Covered ground but kept coming and ran into a close-up third. Drawn for a smother this time and expected to go close again. Plenty of other win chances, though. The Hayes barn has three hopes in the race, including QUARTER MILE (5), who returns for second campaign. Did plenty wrong first start the showed speed and was swamped late. Fitter for two trials and expected to take catching. DO THE DIRTY (3) ran a better race last start at his second trip to the races, finishing fourth over 1000m at Mornington. Open to further improvement. SILENT DEVOTION (10) finished second last start over 1200m at Warrnambool, beaten 3 lengths. Placed 3/3 so far and deserves a win. Blinkers added and looks close to break through. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Magnum.
