FINANCE TYCOON MURRUMBIDGEE CUP OPEN HEAT OF THE STAYERS SERIES 1800m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 4m 1400m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Victory At Omaha to take charge ahead of Cognac at a good tempo. SIZZLE MINIZZLE (2) underrated gelding who stuck on well when a gritty third over 1700m in the Wellington Cup on April 14. Extra trip shouldn't pose a problem and will take holding out. LOOK SHARPISH (6) bounced back to form with the claim when a dominant 3.5 len win of the Kerang Cup over 1800m on March 30. Has no weight again and expected to play a leading role. CYBORG (7) stretched out to this trip for the first time when plugged away to secure third over 1800m at Wagga Riverside on April 8. Likely to get back and pounce late. VICTORY AT OMAHA (3) on the quick back-up and drops in weight after tiring with the 59kg when eighth over 1600m at Newcastle on April 13. Should get the trip and can finish in the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,6,7,3.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 11 at Wagga Riverside Gund Cup Bm86 on April 8 over 1800m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Cliff House with 62kg at $26. Before that 5th of 8 at Canberra in the LR Nat Sprint on March 10 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Coin Toss carrying 54kg at $101. The 1.5kg claim won't be enough to put him into contention.
