GOING: S

Hirth Plumbing Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1550m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with See De Night leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. THE DAILY PLANET (2) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1600m at Stawell. Much better gate this time and gets his chance to break through. PUNCHIN (1) dug deep to score two back then could only manage to finish fifth over 1800m at Morphettville last time four weeks ago. Should enjoy the drop in grade. Among the leading chances in this company. DON'T MATTA ME (9) turned in an eye-catching run over 1476m at Penshurst last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will be doing his best work late. SEE DE NIGHT (5) was a determined winner here two back. Not as effective last time but backs up quickly and can get things back on track. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Daily Planet to win.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 14 at Morphettville Bm72 on November 22 over 1800m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Worsfold with 55kg at $26. Before that won by a nose at Balaklava Nmw-Ly Bm64 November 12 over 1600m defeating By The Book with 57kg at $6. Capable of a better run.

Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time.
