GOING: G(3)

GREAT NORTHERN MINGENEW SPRINT 1200m

Track: Good 3     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Kote possessing enough dash to find the front. FAMEUX (3) looks the horse with the most scope to rebound. His Mt Newman fifth reads better than the bare margin after he was slow away, keen early and wide throughout, and his 1200m record gives him a strong base for this assignment. STATE OF FURY (6) is the obvious danger after winning a BM44+ at Northam and placing in a BM58+ at Kalgoorlie, though she does rise in race grade and only scored narrowly last time. LACEVINSKY (1) brings winning form from Junction, where he beat Keytrade by two and a half lengths in a BM56+, but he has to carry 63kg and prove as effective back to 1200m. KOTE (2) has the tightest recent sprint form, placed in BM68+ and BM64+ company at Carnarvon, and his distance record keeps him in the mix. The query is converting another placing into a win on a good track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 3,6,1,2.

Powered away to beat Keytrade by two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ over 1400m at Junction, a sharp turnaround after being hampered late when seventh to Tango Rhythm at Carnarvon. Back to 1200m and 63kg are the tests, but he has a live place profile.

Continued a solid run of sprint form when third to Weapons Hot in a 3yo+ Benchmark 68+ at Carnarvon, beaten just under a length after travelling close enough to win. He was favourite and beaten a long neck in a 3yo+ Benchmark 64+ two back, despite racing wide throughout. Good-track record is the reservation, but he is knocking on the door.

C A Harding
Returns from a five-week let-up after a forgive run at Mt Newman, where he began awkwardly, raced keenly and covered ground before finishing fifth to Crows in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+. The prior Broome Open run was plain, but he was unwanted there and never got into the race. Cleaner manners put him right in the race.

Eases out of Saturday company after finishing second last to Searchin' Times in a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+ at Belmont Park, beaten just over nine lengths on soft ground at big odds. His previous Belmont Park sixth to Bosun was better, and he does have a sound good-track record. Needs the class relief to spark improvement.

K Gilbert
Had an excuse when last to Mars Mission at Carnarvon, racing wide throughout over 1000m and fading to be beaten just over eight lengths. The Junction second to Intoxicating before that was more competitive, and he gets some weight relief rising to 1200m. Still needs to rebound sharply to trouble the main hopes.

Arrives in winning form after scoring by a head from Classic Royale in a 3yo+ Benchmark 44+ at Northam, despite covering ground. That followed a solid third to More Likely in a 3yo+ Benchmark 58+ at Kalgoorlie, where she was run down late on soft ground. Stronger grade now, but her 1200m credentials read well.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth to Thehorseman in a 2yo+ Benchmark 70+ at Geraldton, beaten six and a half lengths after covering ground. He was also sixth to Southland in a 2yo+ Benchmark 58+ when leading and being swamped late. Needs to find a sharper finish first-up.

Has been safely held in both Carnarvon runs this campaign, most recently eighth to Ironclad Boy in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ when well back and beaten seven and a half lengths. The start prior was weaker again at long odds behind Soaring Solo. Can feature on best.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing seventh to Sneaky Session in a 2yo+ Class 2 at Geraldton, beaten four and a half lengths after racing keenly early. He had also been slow away and well held in a 2yo+ Class 1 at the same venue. In the mix fresh.
