GOING: G(4)

KIA BRISBANE BRONCOS SPRINT 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.23)  

Strong tempo with Shangri La Spring and Les Vampires leading the way over Boston Rocks. The likelihood of a hot tempo brings COSMONOVA (18) right under notice at good odds. Went back from a wide alley then flew late to get up for third in the Group 3 Mona Lisa over 1350m at Wyong last start. Better placed on this bigger track. Can storm home late under the light weight. KERGUELEN (10) was in commission as usual last time out and did a good job to get up for a close third after conceding plenty of ground on the bend in a BM88 over 1100m at Rosehill. Has won three from four at today's trip so with luck from the gate he is a big danger. FLYING FOR FUN (15) didn't do a bad job first-up at Rosehill after missing the start. Bumped into Autumn Glow second-up last prep then just missed at Group 3 level. Good enough to test this field. GETAFIX (9) draws perfectly and is in the mix first-up on the back of two solid trials. BOSTON ROCKS (12) needed the run last time and can improve sharply back on top of the ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmonova each-way.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Rosehill Bm88 on September 13 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Fire Star with 58kg at $3.20. The run before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track Bm78 August 23 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating The Great Houdini carrying 60.5kg at $3.70. A bit of a bookies' pin-up this prep but he is right in the mix on recent efforts.
