GOING: G

Derby Day Nov 1st Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Valley Prince. ISOLYFE (2) resumed with a 5L win in a 58 and then faded out jumping 300m and is much better than that. Presents fitter for that and he's a decent chance to bounce. SUPER SHARP (1) was comfortably accounted for in Open grade but deserved the 76 win prior. Has a handy 2kg claim and a much sharper effort is likely back to this level. VALLEY PRINCE (4) had been rock-solid placing twice before placings in a row before a 2.4L defeat up to a mile. She races forward and will be much more competitive at 1400m. THE BIG FREEZE (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 4L over this distance last start to maintain his good form of late. This is harder but he can figure in the finish. TINTERN POWER (7) will be fitter and should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Isolyfe.

Last start 5th of 8 at this track Hcp on September 22 over 1400m, 8 len behind Altar Boy carrying 52kg at $4.40. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by a head at this track Bm76 September 14 over 1200m defeating Delago Lad with 51kg at $7. Certainly worth another chance.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran on from midfield and won by 5 len at this track 0 - 58 August 29 over 1100m defeating Arrogant Miss carrying 61kg at $5. Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading second last of 8 at this track Hcp on September 22 over 1400m, 14 len behind Altar Boy carrying 56kg at $11. Profiles nicely. Better than that latest effort and can improve sharply.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track Bmnt 67 on October 5 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Venting with 52kg at $7.50.

Can improve enough to take this out.
