Murtoa Race 1 - Samios Plumbing Supplies Mdn Plate
STRENGTH WITHIN (10) is lining up for start No 2 and will need to improve drastically on the debut run when she was a big drifter and ran accordingly. However, she's been back to the trials twice since and could not have been more impressive in two on-pace wins. Gets barrier one and Linda Meech. JAPANESE MOKA (4) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at Hamilton when second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Gets blinkers and can go one better. DO THE DIRTY (2) raced handy and finished second last start over 1200m at Swan Hill, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage here and can continue the progression. BOY FROM ZADAR (1) has run fifth in two starts either side of a spell and draws well. Include.

Second-up. First start faded in the straight 5th of 12 in a 2yo Hcp at Sandown-Hillside on March 11 over 1000m, 4 len behind Buggsy with 59kg at $26. Went for a break before returning 5th of 10 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on September 18 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Gas Station Rose carrying 58kg at $19. Fitter and rates highly.

Racing well recently. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on September 22 over 1200m, 2 len behind Strong Tempo carrying 58kg at $10. The race before that 4th of 10 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Mornington on September 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Come Together carrying 58kg at $31. Plenty of scope for further improvement.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, 6th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on July 28 over 975m, slow going 7 len behind Ride Like Michelle carrying 57kg at $2.35. Last start ran last of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 10 over 1200m, 22 len behind Crudens Tycoon carrying 58kg at $41. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 in a 2yo Hcp at Warrnambool on May 6 over 1200m, in the wet; 8 len behind Centenary Florin carrying 56kg at $31. Might be better off following this outing.

Filly by Nicconi making her first appearance. Runner-up in a Casterton jump-out on August 31. Looks to have improved at each of three jumpouts this time, so keep an eye on the market.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign fifth of 12 at Echuca 2yo Mdn-Sw April 16 over 1100m, 5 len behind Mull Of Kintyre with 56kg at $151. On debut ran last of 8 at Cranbourne 2yo Mdn-Sw March 27 over 1000m, soft track; 6 len behind Sunbliss carrying 56kg at $31. Recent trial win hints at an improved performance.

Resuming after a break; only one run when raced behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 11 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on May 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Angelic Rise carrying 56kg at $18. Resumes after a recent trial win. Never a factor on debut but has looked good in two trials since.
