Mortlake Race 5 - Vale And Congrats Jimmy-Biscuits Himmelhoch (Bm52)
STEELY HUSTLER (10) showed a bit more third up at St Arnaud last week when finishing just over a length from the winner over 1200m. The extra 100m will help her, and Dean Yendall sticks with her, which is a positive. This is her chance to break her winning drought. KNOCK OF BEERS (5) finished close up in her penultimate start, and then plodded on at Kilmore last time out. Her only win came over this trip, and from a good gate, she can figure in the finish. RUNWAY RULER (4) has recently changed stables again, and her jump-out form has been solid after losing all form at the back end of last season. Linda Meech picks up the ride, which should help negate the wide gate, and the pair merits healthy respect. Value top 4 play. EVERETT (7) resumes from a spell, and her recent jump-out was satisfactory. She is likely to be running on, and if they overdo it up front, she can run into the money. GARGANTUAN (3) has a recent win at the picnics, and in this field, he is worth keeping safe.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up ran second last of 12 in a 0 - 56 at Hamilton on October 10 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Frosty Night carrying 59kg at $11. Second run from a spell got back early 8th of 10 in a Bm52 at St Arnaud on October 24 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Spinhof carrying 57kg at $11. Finds a nice race and can improve without surprising.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up got back early 3rd in a small field in a 0-54 at Mt Gambier on September 20 over 900m, slow going head behind Old Time Rock with 55kg at $17. Second run from a spell got back early 5th of 9 in a Bm52 at Manangatang on October 10 over 1175m, 2.5 len behind Ponte Arcobaleno carrying 56kg at $20. Must be respected.
