GOING: F

ACCESS ENGINEERING SYSTEMS HVAC PACE 2300m

Track: FAST      

OUR LUCIANO (7) blew his chances with an early break last start but had made a strong start to his campaign in the prior outing, beaten less than 2m into second. Draws wider but won the only time he attempted this longer distance and should be close to peak fitness now. SOHO SPECTRE (5) is working his way back into form, coming from a similar barrier to place here last week. His best form measures up strongly. GLITTER AINT GOLD (4) was impressive in winning all three rounds of the Regional Championships series before fading as hot favourite last time. Was dropping in trip there but is four from four at this longer distance so can bounce back. FRANCO TYSON (3) enjoyed a class drop when leading to score last week. This is stronger but he gets the same draw. Last-start placegetter DANCE AND DELIVER (1) can be competitive again from the ace draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing ninth after being driven well back, behind Horn Player at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on June 14 at $21. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Pinseeker at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on June 21 at $34. Consider.
