GOING: G

TASCO Petroleum Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m 800m to 600m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with Just Wai leading the way. ARTISSI (8) was denied narrowly first-up but went right on with the job last time to score comfortably at Mt Gambier. Has more to offer third-up, though is likely to drift back from the draw. BELLENTIA (10) is yet to strike through this campaign but is knocking on the door. Will appreciate the drop in grade and is drawn favourably. No shock to see her in the finish. DEFICIT (2) was a barnstorming winner two back at long odds but less effective last time. Tough to assess but is worth some thought on his peaks. FROSTY NIGHT (9) continues to finish thereabouts. Has good tactical speed and gets in well with the claim. Have to consider. HASTA LA CHILLY (3) can improve sharply second-up on his home track. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artissi to win.

At the latest run 11th of 14 at Strathalbyn Bm56 on February 1 over 1200m, 7 len behind Big Brute carrying 59kg at $16. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw January 14 over 1100m defeating Aramoso carrying 56kg at $13. Unlikely to find a decent result.
