Merton Race 4 - Mdn Plate

SPEEDY SPOOKS (6) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1800m at Kerang. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. UNHOLSTERED (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 1650m contest at Healesville two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BULLETPROOF (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 25 finishing 11th and beaten 28 lengths over 2400m at Bendigo. Definite top-three chance. FIRST VENTURE (2) improved last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third over 1775m at Drouin. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
