GOING: H(8)

Perfect Beast Maiden Plate (QC) 1600m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 7.05)  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Nikephoros or Parrot Club can roll them along. DEMPSEY (2) is an eight-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs at Kilmore. This looks very thin and he only needs to hold his form to go awfully close. COLOUR CIRCLE (1) struggled to finish 7 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1600m at Pakenham last start but had been solid at Moe prior and can be hitting the line. CRUSH PUPPY (11) struggled over 2000m at Stawell last start but had been solid prior and can improve in a winnable race. LOMENIE (12) has been okay in two runs back and will find this easier than a good fifth at Bendigo second up, expect she takes holding out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dempsey to win.

Form hard to fault. Last start crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1607m, slow going 4.5 len behind It Matters carrying 59.5kg at $16. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1612m, slow going 1.5 len behind Don't Doubt Dare with 59.5kg at $15. Well placed. Will find less depth here, takes beating.
