A lack of early speed leaves it open for Oakfield Peewee to run them along. CASINO STAGE (2) was particularly unlucky last time out as favourite at Scone and probably wins the race with clear running. Should handle the extra trip and this looks no harder. Clearly the one to beat. FARRAIGE (8) is a 31 start maiden but is racing pretty well of late. This looks a touch easier than Newcastle last start and a placing isn't out of the question. PRIZES GALORE (9) is going well without winning lately and is certainly at least a place chance. CAVORTING (6) was a winner two starts back and could improve while SPACETIME LEGEND (10) is worth including if he can find a couple of lengths. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casino Stage to win.

CAMERON CROCKETT 5YO CHESTNUT GELDING 63.0KG C Crockett, Ms E Williams, B F Kerr, G J Mccarthy, G J Lockhart, J Mccarthy, M J Robinson, P W Griffin, P Wensemius, Mrs P Byrnes & S J Byrnes At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Tamworth Ctry Cl2 August 29 over 1600m defeating Highland Eightgee carrying 58.5kg at $2.90. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 13 at Scone Bm66 on August 19 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Peninsula carrying 58kg at $21. Comes off a nice win but big weight and wide barrier are negatives. |
