Dunkeld Race 6 - Baumgartners Tauto Sprint (Bm66)
ICED POPPY (3) has the right blend of current form and proven partnership to be the horse to beat. She was beaten half a length at Cranbourne after travelling well and fighting on, and that followed a second in a FM BM70 at Pakenham Synthetic, so her consistency stands out. Lachlan King has won three from nine on her and sets up for every hope. TENNESSEE SONG (8) resumes from a five-month break with three trials behind her and has stronger mid-week and BM70 form than a plain heavy-track sixth at Sandown-Lakeside suggests. SYNCHRO (1) drops back from Saturday BM70 company, was held up near the 200m when beaten two lengths at Morphettville, and the apprentice claim gives him a sound place platform despite the 1200m query. YOOMEE WONDER (5) was good late last start and has to be included in the small field.

Was better than tenth reads at Morphettville last start, beaten two lengths in a BM70 after being held up near the 200m and coming out of Saturday company into an easier meeting. The start prior at Morphettville Parks was plain when eighth and fading late on soft ground. Easier meeting and 2kg claim give him a strong place profile.

Comes through a narrow Cranbourne third in BM62 grade, beaten half a length after travelling smoothly behind the leaders and fighting hard to the line. Two back she was second in a FM BM70 at Pakenham Synthetic, so the recent form has depth as well as consistency. Consistent and sets up well here.

Had excuses at Swan Hill last start, beginning awkwardly and striking interference on the home turn before making ground to finish sixth, beaten just over three lengths in BM62 grade. Her Bendigo fifth prior was sound enough on soft ground when she closed off from the rear. Proven at 1200m, so she has a realistic place chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being second last at Bendigo, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds when covering ground and making no impression. The earlier Terang run was similar, with a slow beginning followed by another second-last finish. Blinkers come off.

Resumes after a five-month break with three trials behind her, including a recent third at Mortlake. She ended last campaign with a heavy-track sixth at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten over 14 lengths in F BM64 grade, but her previous Sandown-Hillside fourth in F BM70 company was much better, beaten just under two lengths. Can run well fresh.
