COMMODORE HOTEL MOBILE TROT 1980m

Track: FAST      

MASTER CLASS (6) was 3 metres away in third at this track over 2600m last start at his first run back from a spell. Won't find this any harder, and he can take it to the next level. MOSES (12) scored at this track two runs ago before finishing a bold second at his latest appearance over 2600m at this track, beaten 6 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Has the ability to bounce back and take care of this field. WANNA PLAY A GAME (5) pulled up last start over 2600m at this track two weeks ago. This looks like a suitable race, and she appeals as a solid top-three chance. MAVIS JONES (4) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish second over 2600m at this track.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when pulled up at this track on April 19 over 2600m. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 8th (10m U1) over 2400m at Wyndham Raceway beaten 19 m by Andy Hall (3:03.20) on March 30 at $11.50. The start before 7th (20m U1) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 23 m by Nubliah Chamay (2:45.40) in FM on March 23 at $17.20. Best form puts her right in this.

Resumes today. Her previous first-up run was successful when she won by a 0.5 m (Fr2) at Central Southland Raceway (3:12.30) beating Andy Hall in 3yo+ on September 19 at $29.60. Probably needs this hitout.
