GOING: G

ROY BELLOTTI MEMORIAL MAIDEN 1000m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Redwood Ransom to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. REDWOOD RANSOM (1) has been trying to win a race for a long time, and this 9-year-old veteran nearly stole it off the front at Dongara 4 weeks ago but had to settle for another minor placing, finishing second. He has the blinkers off again, and he has been placed in both of his starts on this track. Each-way claims from a handy gate. LOONA DAWN (11) is a consistent filly who has raced her way into her best form. She has more upside than most in this and should not be in this class for much longer. LE TROY (2) did not do much during a spring campaign and has since changed stables. She has a recent trial under her belt and will find the company in this area more to her liking. Each-way value. PRIZED BENEFIT (9) ran a much better race when finishing third at Geraldton nearly a fortnight ago. She made up a lot of ground that day and is now poised third up to figure in the finish again. DREAM ILLUSION (4) will be resuming from a spell for a new local trainer. Watch the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Redwood Ransom each-way.

Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Dongara Clb 48+ on April 19 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Rodney Oh Rodney carrying 51kg at $4.80. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Geraldton Mdn on March 8 over 1213m, 5.5 len behind Awesome Lily carrying 56kg at $21. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 11 at Dongara Mdn on April 19 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Cozzies Choice with 56kg at $91. Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 11 at Geraldton Cl2 on May 4 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Gold Chain carrying 54kg at $151. Capable of a big finish.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 14 at Geraldton Mdn on May 4 over 1207m, 1.4 len behind Our Little Gem carrying 52.5kg at $8. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Geraldton Mdn on April 23 over 1120m, 4 len behind Twelveunder carrying 55.5kg at $9. Has strong claims.
