Balaklava Race 2 - Sportsbet Make It Look Easy Mdn Plate
NOVELA (3) worked hard early to cross from his wide draw, and while he couldn't threaten the winner, he never shirked the task. Strips rock-hard fit now and is drawn to advantage. Will take some beating. FUTURE COMMAND (6) has struggled in his last two but has been tackling stiffer opposition. Much better suited back at this level and looks the main danger. PIANTA (4) returns and makes his stable debut for the rising Bain & Taylor stable who do a terrific job with tried horses. Has been readied with Murray Bridge trial placing and can make a bright start. FOREVER WILD (9) lacks early speed but can cause them a late scare if they overdo it early. Keeping safe.

Second run from a spell 10th of 12 at Oakbank 3yo+ Cg&E Mdn-Sw on March 19 over 1100m, 8 len behind Conni Island carrying 55kg at $26. Might need more racing.

First starter. Three-year-old gelding by So You Think out of Islay Inlet. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 800m at Morphettville Parks March 4. Fitter for recent trials but others have better credentials.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 10th of 14 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 12 over 1350m, 15 len behind Lady Of Savoy with 56kg at $91. Previously second-up 11th of 13 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 28 over 1600m, on a slow track; 17 len behind Silent Emmy carrying 56kg at $101. Drawn wide and hard to recommend until she puts some runs on the board.
