GOING: G

Morwell Bowling Club Maiden Plate 1900m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.05)  

Plenty of pace likely from Captain Cat, Nikephoros and Gee And Tee battling for the lead from Kennerite. This race has been knocked around by scratchings which leaves CAPTAIN CAT (1) as a hot favourite. He's been consistent all prep, again found one marginally better last start over 1600m at Bairnsdale after being prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. GEE AND TEE (7) is progressing well, last time out finishing third over 2100m at Horsham after being in the firing line on the corner. Faces an easier assignment so she is ready to find the winners' list. PACIFIC PIXIE (12) was a big improver last start and can springboard off that here from a good draw. I'M MIM (9) hasn't hit the board in three runs this prep, but nearing peak fitness now and this race has fallen away a touch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Cat to win.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on October 12 over 1600m, nose behind Big Mix with 59.5kg at $1.85. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Moe Mdn-Sw on September 23 over 1628m, slow going 0.8 len behind Trinity's D'oro carrying 59.5kg at $2.70. Mega-consistent without winning, but good draws presents the chance to go one better.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 14 at Moe Mdn-Sw on October 19 over 1600m, 5 len behind Nile Crocodile carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Murtoa Mdn-Sw on October 4 over 1600m, 8 len behind Talent Scout with 59.5kg at $31. Drawn well, so probably be around the mark around but just struggles to break through.

Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
