Murtoa Race 1

Samios Plumbing Mdn Plate

Stake: $29,160

BEST TIME (1) looks one of the more progressive types in this race with a couple of third placings from only two starts to date. This is no tougher than those contests and he gets to 1600m for the first time, which shapes as a journey that he will appreciate. CALL ME RHONDA (7) was a pass mark first-up over 1356m but improved sharply up in distance second-up and should have derived great fitness benefit from that. Ready to spike here. HEEZ DE MAN (5) has been well held at his past two but there were encouraging signs earlier on in the campaign and this looks a more winnable assignment than some of the other races he's contested of late. HAND OF DOOM (4) needs to lift to be a winning chance but at least gets the draw to run an improved race.

Raced twice to date. At debut, came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw on June 28 over 1400m, in the wet; 0.9 len behind Mishima with 59.5kg at $12. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on July 13 over 1454m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Foggy Bottom with 59.5kg at $3.10. Two good runs to date have him well-placed to play a key role here.

Second-up. First-up after nine months 6th of 10 at Donald Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1356m, slow going 6 len behind Star Canto with 59.5kg at $61. Previously second-up 11th of 14 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on October 14 over 1600m, 8 len behind Litzdeel with 55kg at $101. Better for the first-up run, extra trip suits and inside alley a big plus.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on July 14 over 1400m, 5 len behind Emmcee with 59.5kg at $31. The race before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on June 20 over 1512m, slow going 8 len behind Dubai Watch carrying 59.5kg at $17. Best form is good enough and will give himself every chance on-speed.
