AU - Murtoa - Race 1

BEST TIME (1) looks one of the more progressive types in this race with a couple of third placings from only two starts to date. This is no tougher than those contests and he gets to 1m for the first time, which shapes as a journey that he will appreciate. CALL ME RHONDA (7) was a pass mark first-up over 6 ¾f but improved sharply up in distance second-up and should have derived great fitness benefit from that. Ready to spike here. HEEZ DE MAN (5) has been well held at his past two but there were encouraging signs earlier on in the campaign and this looks a more winnable assignment than some of the other races he's contested of late. HAND OF DOOM (4) needs to lift to be a winning chance but at least gets the draw to run an improved race.
