GOING: G(4)

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

The speedy Richanco should find the front with Miss Esprit and Solar System on his heels. RICHANCO (5) was very impressive in his maiden campaign. It took a Listed winner to beat him at his final run prior to the spell, and he looks to have returned in fine fettle judging by his recent trial. He has plenty of class and he should make light work of these if he can pick up where he left off. MIA GUSTO (7) is hard to knock on recent form, performing well in Saturday grade most recently, beaten just 4.2L. She hasn't won for a while, but she is knocking on the door of late and if she can hold her form back in grade, she'll go close. SOLAR SYSTEM (11) resumed on a strong note, missing out by just 0.4L as favourite at Belmont. He is a second-up winner in the past and he has the speed to offset a wide alley. Can put his best foot forward. TON OF GRUNT (6) progressed through the grades nicely last campaign and is worth keeping onside as he'll be flashing late. BLEECKER STREET (2) has trialled nicely since running here in July and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Richanco.

Before that 2nd of 10 at Belmont Park Westspeed 0Mwly on September 7 over 1200m, slow going 1.75 len behind Eliteone with 57kg at $8.50. Sure to get all the favours from barrier three.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Belmont Park 3yo Hcp 58+ May 18 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Brave Spirit with 58.5kg at $3.80. At his first start to post a big 3 len win. Pinjarra Mdn April 10 over 1200m defeating Olivia'smemumma carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Took a smart one to beat him at the end of last campaign and he can kick off in winning form.

Useful type. Most recently eased back early on 4th of 7 at Belmont Park Westspeed 0Mwly on September 28 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Keep Attacking with 56.5kg at $16. The race before that made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 10 at this track Cl5 on September 12 over 1200m, head behind Speak To Me with 55kg at $7.50. Major player if she can run up to her recent form.

Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Ascot 3yo Hcp 62+ on March 30 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Snow Prince with 54kg at $10. Returned in sharp order and he can build on that effort.
