GOING: G(4)

TDC - Livestock & Property Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expect a strong tempo from Burnt By Bernie, Onehundred Percent and Big Mav who may have no option but to press on. BIG MAV (1) powered home from the tail to grab second at Murray Bridge and with a strong record at this trip he shapes as the one to beat. BURNT BY BERNIE (3) went a miss last start at Naracoorte but his form prior stacks right up. Will need some luck from out there but has the ratings to put him in the finish. PINCHBECK (5) didn’t fire first up as favourite but is much better than that and steps out over a more suitable distance. With fitness on his side and Milnes back aboard, he’s a definite threat. TINY REBEL (6) is mixing his form but can be around the mark with the right run from a favourable draw. ROBERT THE PUSS (9) makes his stable debut for Kylie Schulz. May need the run but he deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Mav to win.
