GOING: G(4)

WIN NETWORK CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo with Born Conqueror leading from Warrant and Surpasser. SURPASSER (6) was lining up for just the fourth time when he recorded a tough maiden win over 1600m at Wyong last start. Jumps straight to a Class 2 but he gets a dream run from the good draw and should acquit himself well. PICCADERRO (2) made it two wins from three runs this campaign when he came with a well-timed run to get home in a Class 1 over 1400m at Taree last time out. Kicked off this prep with a win here. Won't mind the slightly longer trip and looks tough to beat again. BORN CONQUEROR (7) raced on the speed and surprised many by hanging on for second when fresh from a lengthy spell over this course and distance recently. Drops back from a Class 3 to a Class 2 and will take a lot from that last run. Genuine threat. LOVE 'N' ROCKETS (4) comfortably took out a Class 1 at Coffs Harbour last start. Still has improvement to come at just the third run of the prep. WARRANT (10) is a chance based on a strong third here at this trip two back in a better race than this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surpasser each-way in a tough race.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by a neck at Wyong Prov Mdn-Sw February 10 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Wormington with 58.5kg at $2.80. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 23 over 1500m, on a slow track; nose behind Castelle carrying 58.5kg at $4. Eligible for easier races but he is a promising three-year-old who looks up to the task.
