Mornington   05 Sep 2025
 
GOING: S

The Big Screen Company Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Looks a decent tempo with Delta's Gold, Tagline and Oie De Toulouse leading the charge. TAGLINE (11) looked the goods at the jumpouts before lip defeat at Moe on debut heavily bet. Maps for the run of the race and he will take a stack of beating with the run under the saddle. FORTUNE LINK (2) resumes and three back she was beaten a whisker at Moonee Valley on debut. She has the rails gate and has warmed up with three jumpouts. A bold run is on the cards. JOIN THE QUE (3) debuts for a leading metro yard and placed in a recent Flemington jumpout. Dee is engaged, and he has to be kept very safe. SHE'S SPEEDY (6) has been nudged out on the syntheticher last three starts and a return to turf won't be an issue. Deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tagline is hard to go past.
