GOING: H

Lyrical Acres Training and Agistment Centre Lewiston Class One Plate 2200m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +3m 950m-W/Post, +2m W/Post-1550m, True Remainder. (Pent: 8.58)  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Moana's Fortune. COORONG TYCOON (8) stepped up in trip and stepped up to the plate with a dominant win last week. That was a modest maiden but this isn't much harder and if he's had a good week, he's capable of going back-to-back. Toeroek sticks and the only concern is a heavy track. One horse that does handle a heavy track is MOANA'S FORTUNE (10) and he has to be considered a major player given the likelihood of a very wet track. His recent form is hard to knock. RETOURNE (5) will find this easier than last start where, although he ran last, he wasn't disgraced behind some smart horses. The Lynch pair of MENACE TO SOBRIETY (4) and AMBITIOUS CREEK (1) aren't noted winners but each of them is capable of running a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Moana's Fortune each-way if the track is heavy.

The race before that 5th of 12 at Bordertown Cl1-Sw on June 27 over 2000m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Silent Emmy carrying 55kg at $13. Lacks a killer punch in his races so hard to recommend.

The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Port Augusta Cl1 on July 6 over 1498m, 4 len behind Colonel Hathi with 52.5kg at $5.50. Happy to risk the Port Augusta form.

Form hard to fault. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 11 at Port Augusta Cl1-Sw on July 20 over 1867m, nose behind Thinkingnintynine carrying 58.5kg at $5. Before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Port Augusta 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 6 over 1600m defeating Sir Aali carrying 57.5kg at $14. Has found form on the dirt but this is a totally different set-up.
