Sale Race 4

Rotti Security

Stake: $3,696

MY NAME'S EDEN (6) has a strong record this trip with six wins and four placings from 18 starts. Recorded a 4 length win (22.57) in a Grade 4/5 last time at Warragul. Looks suited here and rates on top. WINKING WILLIE (7) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.64) at Geelong over 400m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with six wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Expected to be in the finish again. PLAY LAB (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Placed last time (22.27) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. XATU BALE (2) has won at this course and distance, cannot be ruled out.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.27) at Shepparton over 390m. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Good effort to win last start by 1.4 lengths over 435m at this track in a handy (24.49), beating Search History. Has run a slick time here with a 24.47 PB at the distance. Worth including.

Comments

Could only manage fourth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (24.48) over 435m at this track. Aided by a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (23.29) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Has been around the mark last couple and should make his presence felt.

Placed last time (22.64) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Strong record off the draw with six wins and three minors from 11 starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.90) over 400m at Warragul. Drawn out wide but is in the mix.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
