GOING: N

ID25 LADBROKES INTER DOMINION PACING CONSOLATION (GROUP 3) 2680m

Track: GOOD      

BETTER ECLIPSE (4) is an accomplished pacer who was runner up in the Inter Dominion Final here 18 months ago and narrowly missed this year's decider after solid efforts for fourth in both heats. He was drawn wide on the back row last week so will enjoy this more favourable barrier. BEACH BALL (1) didn't quite perform to market expectations through the series but was racing well prior. Should enjoy a soft run from the ace draw so could salvage something from the series. NYACK (11) draws on the back row again but is going well. Had no luck when severely checked in his opening heat before chasing Leap To Fame when runner-up last week. That was just his second try at this distance and he won the other. Big chance with even luck. I BREAK THE LINE (10) wasn't too far off the placegetters in both rounds, the last off a similar draw to this. Include along with KANENA PROVLIMA (12) who draws awkwardly but was back in the placings when chasing Leap To Fame last week.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Sr2) over 2680m at this track, beaten 13 m by Speak The Truth (3:13.30) in No NR on July 12 at $8.50. The run prior 7th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 16 m by Sure Thing Captain (2:30.50) in No NR on July 5 at $4.60. Touch disappointing through the heats but could show his best from this draw.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Don Hugo at this track over 2138m in a No NR on July 5 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Leap To Fame at this track over 2680m in a No NR on July 12 at $41. Big chance if things go his way from the second line.
