GOING: S(7)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET MAIDEN 1650m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Cannotstop and Bend It Like Becks. BEND IT LIKE BECKS (2) has started his career in good order, missing by 1.7L last start when finishing well over 1400m. Out to 1650m today is a big tick and Nottle's claim comes in handy. Building nicely and he looks well placed to strike third-up into the campaign. CANNOTSTOP (1) missed in a photo two back before a 2.9L defeat when getting well back at 1400m. The draw is a query, but he's racing in good order and his figures suggest he's on the cusp of a win. Can get the job done this time. ENCHANTED MISS (10) was strong fresh before getting too far back and not featuring over 1200m. Third-up now and out to 1650m is a good move judging by her latest effort. Watch for her late in the race. SAVIENNE (11) creates interest being first-up here over 1650m. Not to be discounted. STAR ASSAULT (9) has to be included following a good run at Pinjarra last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bend It Like Becks finds the right race.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made ground from midfield; 4th of 16 at this track Mdn on May 27 over 1400m, 3 len behind All Laced Up carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Ascot 3yo Mdn on May 6 over 1400m, nose behind Jimmy Angel with 57kg at $11. Comes through the same race as Bend It Like Becks and he makes plenty of appeal.
