GOING: S(6)

AQUILA MINING PTY LTD MAIDEN 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +7m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from King Of France leading Perfect Ruler. PRINCE OF BONDI (4) has bounced back to form his past couple, just missing at this track and trip two back. He was solid again last start over the mile, but drops back in trip today from a good barrier. Can stalk the speed and land the knockout blow in what looks a winnable race for him. KING OF FRANCE (1) has been gunned down his past couple over shorter trips, going under by a nose here just last week. He has the speed to offset the sticky gate and if he's able to get to the front and dictate, he'll be hard to run down. COUSIN MORTIMER (2) hasn't been far away recently and will find this a little easier than his recent events. Still a maiden after 17 starts, but he's turned in some competitive figures and he won't be far away. PERFECT RULER (3) went close over the mile here last start and can make an impact. LUMINOUS LADY (10) is next best third-up and out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Bondi looks the one to beat.

Racing well recently. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at this track Mdn on August 3 over 1300m, on a slow track; nose behind Stylin' with 58kg at $6. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn on July 27 over 1200m, neck behind Heavy Metal carrying 58kg at $61. Right on the cusp and can feature on the quick turnaround.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 4th of 10 at Bunbury Mdn on July 6 over 1400m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Asphalt carrying 58kg at $3.50. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Northam Mdn on June 25 over 1600m, slow going 2.5 len behind Annie Warbucks with 58kg at $9. Sure to be in the finish again.

The run before that 4th of 12 at this track Mdn on July 13 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Lendanear with 56.5kg at $7.50. Not to be discounted.

The race before that second last of 10 at Northam Mdn on July 24 over 1300m, slow going 9 len behind Champagne Crusader carrying 58kg at $31. Doubt he will threaten the main chances.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 7th of 9 at Northam 3yo Mdn on June 26 over 1600m, 6 len behind Queen Aria with 57kg at $61. Second-up struggled in the run home; second last of 11 at Northam Mdn on July 10 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Decision Maker with 58kg at $101. Can't see him breaking through for the maiden win this time.

Third race start. First start second last of 9 at Ascot 3yo Mdn on February 3 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Come On Emma carrying 55kg at $26. Went for a spell before returning second last of 9 at Northam Mdn on July 24 over 1300m, slow going 7 len behind Romance Calling carrying 56kg at $26. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
