GOING: S(5)

CLARK RUBBER Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.73)  

Scottville Scooter to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. Former Victorian SPELLMASTER (1) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. BADLIFEDECISION (9) has been thereabouts in all three runs this preparation and will strip fitter fourth-up from the spell. Gets plenty of weight relief with the claim and looms as the main danger. RELATIVES (8) has placed at her past three outings and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from gate two. Top-three aspirations. SCOTTVILLE SCOOTER (11) has placed two of three over this distance range and may feature first-up. ROCKETTO (4) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spellmaster to return a winner.

Four-year-old gelding making debut by Spieth out of Lacerta. All three siblings are maidens. Dam was a 17-start maiden. Was second in a 1000m barrier trial on April 23 at Rockhampton. Trained on the track and may pay to keep an eye of the betting despite a difficult gate.
