GOING: S

EnviroTec SE Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +2m 600m - 800m, True Remainder.  

A solid tempo on the cards with The Mariner leading the way. TAKE ME TO CHURCH (1) resumes for a new stable and looks primed after a sharp jump-out win. Scored over this trip on debut and gets Crowther. Expect him to settle back and launch late. HIDDEN WITNESS (8) didn’t fire last start but has prior form that stacks up. Freshened and reunites with Opperman. Can bounce back. THE MARINER (2) showed speed and grit to win at Avoca. Well placed again and can give another bold sight. PRIVATE JET (3) returns after six months and won fresh last prep. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Take Me To Church to win.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at Geelong F&M Bm62 on October 2 over 1147m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Normandy Lass with 56kg at $20. The run before that took up a position near the tail 2nd of 10 at Donald 0 - 56 on September 13 over 1350m, long-neck behind Count Ida with 56.5kg at $6.50. Capable of a much stronger showing with Opperman back on.

Second-up. First-up after nine months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at St Arnaud Bm52 on October 25 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind She Is All Magic with 55kg at $31. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm58 on July 9 2024 over 1200m, 8 len behind Golden Estrella with 52kg at $51. Better for the hitout and sets up perfectly to give another bold sight on the quick back-up.
