Mornington   05 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

The Big Screen Company Handicap 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Norwoods and Aria Electra kicking up to hold out the next wave. PROVEN RECORD (9) accounted for a maiden field over 1600m at Pakenham last start when fresh from a break. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. MONT SAINT MICHEL (17) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest finishing a half a length second at Ararat and drops in the weights for this. Meets a tougher line-up this time but can measure up. PRESERVATOR (4) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1600m at Pakenham, beaten 11 lengths, but was a nice winner the start prior and draws to advantage here. NORWOODS (7) rarely runs poorly and got within 1.5 lengths of Williamstown, who would have been one of the leading fancies here, two back. SINISTER SAUCE (14) returned in great style and draws to go on with it here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Proven Record each way.
