Balaklava Race 4 - Taylors Wines Mdn Plate
SIMPLY SID (6) rattled home to just miss last time at Murray Bridge. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Likely to get back again from his draw but with the anticipated tempo he can swoop over the top. TIDDY WIDDY (11) is struggling to break through but has found some strong maidens in town and prior to last start had been very competitive. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue and ideally placed to open her account. POWER OF TIME (5) should progress from his first-up outing and maps well for Pannell. In the mix. SUMMERTIME MADNESS (7) is mixing his form but backs up quickly and finds a more suitable contest. Keeping safe.

Most recently 6th of 10 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, 4 len behind Bardigrub carrying 58kg at $81. Before that ran last of 8 at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 7 over 1100m, 21 len behind Gazz with 58kg at $7. Ready to peak after four runs back and shouldn't be far away.
