GOING: G

Peter Elberg Funerals Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +6m Entire, Sectional 608m. (Pent: 5.39)  

Super Lad, Flaming Navy and Cleitus can set the pace. FOX GEM (6) got home powerfully last start when having his first run for the season. His record suggests he is much better second-up so expect him to find a length or two. He's got a tricky draw so may concede a start but he can let loose with a powerful finish. He will be hard to beat. CLEITUS (10) is a likely improver and can run a cheeky race at a big price. His best Victorian form puts him in the frame and he maps to get a cosy run. Don't leave him out. FLAMING NAVY (8) must be included after bolting in to win an easier race last time. He looks the likely leader and will give plenty of cheek. The best of DUAL FUEL (4) would go close in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fox Gem each-way.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 10 at Morphettville Parks Bm78 on September 20 over 1400m, 10 len behind Easy Campese with 55.5kg at $41. Second run from a spell 7th of 9 at Murray Bridge in the LR M Br Cup on October 11 over 1600m, 6 len behind Cartoon Graveyard carrying 54kg at $151. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.

Looks an each-way chance from the low draw.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 8th of 10 at Morphettville Parks Nmw-Ly Bm62 on October 10 over 1550m, 5.5 len behind Bona Fide Star with 58kg at $21. The race before that raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 13 at this track 0-66 on August 30 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Tropical House carrying 60kg at $10. Overlook recent runs. Best form is good enough to be in the finish.
