GOING: G(4)

SA Racehorse Owners Association Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 2050m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: 400m to WP True, +3m Remainder.  

Plaisir and High Society Girl will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. Open race. MASTER OF CEREMONY (6) doesn't win out of turn but has caught the eye in his last two when running on strongly. Should relish the rise in trip and can get the verdict. HEADSMART (2) has been ticking along nicely and gets his chance to break a long run of outs. Only been tested once at this journey without a result but his recent efforts suggest he's up to the mark. GOT AN INSPIRATION (3) closed off nicely behind a smarter one last start at Naracoorte over a similar trip. Most proven runner over this sort of distance and deserves respect. Similar story for ANPHINA (5), who has just found a better one in her last two. Cherry-ripe now and can get the job done. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Master Of Ceremony. Saving on Anphina each-way..
