TEAM BOND 3YO PEARL CLASSIC HEAT 1 MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

BELLY UP (3) finished sixth last start over 2130m at this track, beaten 8 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2130m at this circuit. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. ELITE FLEET (6) made it three wins in succession when he scored by 4.5 metres last time out here at this trip. Big chance in a similar assignment. MAJOR DISCO (1) can break his way into the winner's list after registering a sequence of five top-three finishes, the latest at Pinjarra two weeks ago. Has to be included from the coveted pegs draw. DAMAGE DONE (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this venue over 2130m. May earn a cheque.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Delulu at this track over 1730m in a 3yo 0W/15 0K stake on April 22 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Ruby Lovera at Pinjarra over 2185m in a 3yo NR up to 65 on April 28 at $12. Rates highly. Among the leading chances again.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 2130m at this track was 9th-15.7m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 8 m by Longreach Bay (2:33.30) in No NR on April 25 at $4. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr8) held up early, at this track (2:34.10) beating Rumble Strip in No NR on April 18 at $5.50 at the bell was 9th-12.8m 3WNC. From a low draw is expected to bounce back.

Well beaten last start by Elite Fleet, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 25 metres seventh at this track over 2130m in a 3yo 0-2 WINs race on April 29. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was sixth behind Control The Room at Northam over 2190m in a 3yo NR up to 60 on April 19 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Repossession at this track over 2130m in a 3yo 0-2 WINs on April 29 at $5.50. One of the better chances.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr5) over 2242m after showing early speed at Narrogin, beaten 21 m by Como El Viento (2:47.80) in 3yo NR up to 55 on May 3 at $14. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 2130m at this track, beaten 30 m by Elite Fleet (2:38.20) in 3yo 0-2 WINs on April 29 at $31. Others read better. Not keen on his chances in this field.
