GOING: S(5)

Emmetts Country Cup (Qualified Horses) (Heat 5 Provincial Super Series) 1900m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Shiny Rock leading the way. BADONKIDONK (2) progressed nicely second-up at Horsham when closing off solidly into the placings. Shoulders a strong third up record and gets a key jockey booking in Crowther. Leading player. PUISSANCE DUSOLEIL (4) has found the line nicely in all three return efforts and looks ready to go on with it now and eat up the extra 200m. Bolds showing anticipated. SHINY ROCK (1) has taken a step wrong this time in, taking out both the Lock and Outback Cups in impressive fashion. Interesting to see how that form lines up here but he's 4/4 over this distance and has to be seriously considered. SPEAKEASY (5) doesn't win out of turn but has turned in some solid performances of late. Has run well over this journey without winning and rates highly on best figures. SUPER VALENTINE (3) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Badonkidonk to win.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up won by 3.5 len at Lock Lock Cup Bm70 February 25 over 1900m defeating Sino Witness with 61.5kg at $2.50. Second-up won by 2.5 len at Broken Hill Outback Cup March 16 over 1600m defeating Stocked And Loaded carrying 63kg at $3. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1900m.
