GOING: G

The Big Screen Company Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 43)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Good pace with Angiemarie, Taka Speed and Subtle Power prominent. ANGIEMARIE (12) looks well placed. She's a lightly raced filly who won her maiden smartly fresh before pulling up with issues at Cranbourne in a much stronger race when sent out a $5.50 chance behind Ahha Ahha. She drops back a notch here and maps to advantage on speed. Go close. SUBTLE POWER (11) can mix her form. She was poor at Kyneton last time and has been freshened since. The run two back over this route has her firmly in the finish. TAKA SPEED (2) resumed with a dogged victory at Mornington over 1500m to get up by a nose. He's lightly raced and should strip fitter now. SURPERB FROST (8) won his maiden impressively last time out and might be able to go on with it now while SUPER MIRAGE (3) is an interesting one off a let-up and now with the Bedggood yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Angiemarie to win.
