GOING: G

Brad Masters Plumbing Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 3   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Eloped to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. MINI ANGEL (11) has been racing well in town before delivering an easy Maiden win at Moe. She was heavily bet and Jamie Melham stays aboard. She races forward and is good enough to take the next step. FRIDGE MONSTER (3) is the danger. Followed a big 64 win at Cranbourne with a narrow defeat at Sandown Lakeside, 36 days ago. He's won a jumpout here since and will ride the speed from an inside barrier. Has a 1.5kg claim and will be tough to peg back. Tougher sorting the rest. CASH CONVERTER (4) peaks and when close twice on the synthetic before a plainer run at Geelong. She's jumped out well since and will go better from an inside barrier. HEADSTOCK (5) resumes and has switched from a NSW yard. He's capable, and his jumpouts suggest he'll be more forward this time around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Mini Angel.
