GOING: G

DESSIE O'DOWDS HANDICAP 1406m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Crows. CROWS (4) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when ninth over 1400m at Port Hedland. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. LEADING TADDY (2) settled well back and turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1200m at Port Hedland after a nice win the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PERCUSSION PRINCE (6) was in the placings when just under two lengths back from the winner last start at Port Hedland and is down in weight this time. Rosie Mahony stays aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. IMMORTAL SHIELD (10) gave away a considerable start over 1400m at Port Hedland last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Should prove tough to hold out. CHEDDAR BOB (3) returned with a bang here last time out and can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crows can win the last.

Third-up today. First-up won by a nose at York May 14 over 1300m on a soft track defeating State Of Fury with 60kg at $4.60. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Port Hedland Cl3 on May 31 over 1400m, 13 len behind Tassort We Want with 60.5kg at $12. Great chance to open her account on this surface.

Recent form sound. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 at Port Hedland Cl3 on May 31 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Tassort We Want carrying 58.5kg at $3.50. The run before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at this track Cl1 May 24 over 1406m defeating Puddin 'N' Pie with 58kg at $3.40. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner.

Second run back. First-up after seven months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track Rtg 55+ on May 24 over 1406m, 3.5 len behind Cheddar Bob carrying 53kg at $9.50. Previously second-up got back early 6th of 8 at Broome Rtg 57+ on July 12 over 1453m, 6 len behind Plato Or Plomo with 55.5kg at $26. Strips fitter and is a genuine hope.

The race before that failed to make an impression; 5th of 8 at Port Hedland Rtg 56+ on May 9 over 1300m, 10 len behind Dynamic One with 55kg at $8.50. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
