GOING: G(3)

OWN THE DREAM COMPETITION NOW OPEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +1m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Lord Shiva to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LORD SHIVA (1) disappointed last start at Northam in a CL1 but was racing in top order prior to that. The form out of his last start has been good and he did jump the favourite there. Now 41-days between runs and he has the speed to offset the barrier. Clearly the one to beat on his best form. IDENTIFIER (2) was only fair on resumption over 1200m here but will appreciate getting back to this distance where he is a winner preciously. She maps for a beautiful run under Turner who has two wins when partnering. Wouldn't surprise to see her improve sharply. HOT NOVA (11) is better than she showed last time out and can bounce back. POP THE MOET (3) can play a role on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Lord Shiva.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Northam Cl1 on October 17 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Butterfly House with 59kg at $2.50. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Northam Cl1 on September 26 over 1000m, long-neck behind Gold Vancouver carrying 57kg at $1.50. Will find this easier than recent races and can return to winning form.
