GOING: S(5)

SO YOU PENCE IN THE KOSCIUSZKO MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.15)  

Without frontrunners engaged Maysun gets the chance to lead. STRATFORD (2) couldn't quite live up to expectations on debut but made a promising start nevertheless when charging home for third at Gosford. The step to 1400m suits and he looks the one to beat with that run under his belt. MARKOS PORT (1) attracted no support on debut at Hawkesbury but was strong late to also grab third. Natural improvement and the added trip make him very interesting. SCOISH MALOISH (6) resumes from a short break after placing at Canterbury and Gosford on soft ground. A Warwick Farm trial gives him a solid base for this return. USAIN BOSS (3) is race fit and continues to hold his form, with a wide run at Tuncurry last start adding value to another close third. He must turn the tables on Stratford from their Gosford meeting, but his consistency keeps him right in the contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stratford to win.

Ran above market expectation on debut at Hawkesbury, finishing third behind Not On My Watch over 1100m after jumping at long odds and being bumped leaving the barriers. The rise to 1400m is a new test and he carries 59kg again, but that first run showed enough professionalism to suggest he can improve second-up. Extra trip is the query, but second-up improvement keeps him in the mix.

Made a strong debut at Gosford when third behind Crash Bang Wallop over 1200m, beaten a length and a half after being bumped early and coming from well back as the well-supported favourite. That soft-track placing gives him the best exposed profile, and he had Usain Boss covered there. Profiles strongly with the rise in trip.

Continues to race honestly, finishing third at Tuncurry over 1200m when beaten a length and a half after racing wide throughout and being bumped on the home turn. He had earlier run fourth behind Crash Bang Wallop at Gosford on soft ground, again only beaten a length and a half, though Stratford finished ahead of him there. Must reverse the Stratford form, but is at peak fitness.

Finished eighth on debut at Goulburn over 1200m, beaten just under four lengths behind Centimetre after settling rearward and racing wide throughout. Needs to produce a sharper race finish to threaten the better exposed maidens.

Resumed with a plain ninth at Muswellbrook over 1280m, beaten four and a half lengths after settling rearward with no clear excuse. His debut third came in a 2yo Open at Newcastle on heavy ground, so there is a past run with more substance, but he did not build on it first-up. Debut 2yo Open placing gives some hope, but improvement is required from fresh performance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing third in mid-week company at Canterbury over 1550m on soft ground, beaten just over two lengths behind Sharbino. He had been second at Gosford six days earlier, beaten just over half a length at long odds after racing keenly early. Mid-week Canterbury placing reads well.

Eases from provincial company after finishing seventh at Hawkesbury, beaten eight lengths by Lady Capitalist, and she did have genuine interference when tightened at the start and eased late. Her Newcastle fifth over 900m before that was only fair, so the class relief and third-up timing need to bring improvement. Still needs to find more than she showed at Newcastle.

Has placed at both runs this campaign, most recently third at Muswellbrook over 1280m when beaten two and a half lengths after tracking the speed and keeping on. She was also narrowly beaten at Bathurst on heavy ground two back, so the consistency is there. Rising to 1400m in this race demands another step.
