Verdict

HETTINGER (4) has had a couple of tune-up runs in Victoria and will relish getting back on this deck where he has won 3 times from only 4 starts. He is at his best over a mile, and a form reversal is on the cards. KANGAROO COURT (2) has been holding his form for some time now and has been runner-up in her 2 most recent starts. The mile is at the top of his range, and he will take some pegging back. VENTING (3) finished third last time out in his first run over a mile this prep. He will be better for that run just over 3 weeks ago and will give the top 2 picks plenty to think about. Follow your money. HE'S MAVERICK (6) needs to improve but is expected to do so with a return to this track. Sonja Logan knows him well, and the pair merits healthy respect in another competitive contest. FIGO THE GREAT (5) has turned the corner with a pair of Kingscote wins and he drops 4kg from his last win. Don't risk him.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Kingscote 0-58 February 22 over 1750m defeating Doctor Robert with 58.5kg at $5.50. Before that came from midfield and won by 2 len at Kingscote Bm62 February 20 over 1750m defeating Shahin carrying 53.5kg at $5. Going well and is among the better hopes.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 11 at Terang Bm64 on February 14 over 1400m, 18 len behind Docinthe carrying 62kg at $61. Last start ran last of 12 at Wangaratta Bm70 on March 1 over 1300m, 9 len behind Arizona Activist with 59kg at $101. Profiles nicely. Likely improver who looks hard to beat.
