GOING: G(4)

Mallee Big Screen Hire Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.00)  

Genuine tempo with Mysterious Master to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. NANO BUBBLES (8) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 975m at Swan Hill when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. FOUR ON THE FLOOR (2) finished behind Nano Bubbles last start, giving away a big start. Previous effort was good enough to win this. REGAL TIME (9) is a 7YO mare who didn't do much in her first 16 starts but has placed at her past two and strikes the right type of race to go on with things. PIERRE LE QUILL (5) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 4.5 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at Pakenham Synthetic. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ROUGHNUT (6) is a 10-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1620m at Donald. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nano Bubbles to win.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Naracoorte 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 24 over 1100m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Lots Of Torque with 54kg at $12. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Balaklava 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 0.7 len behind Illustrates with 53kg at $10. Capable of building on that performance and she looks one of the main chances.

Gelding by Star Witness making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on July 29 at Mornington when finished fifth. Two jumpouts have been OK and this isn't strong, so watch for any bet
