GOING: S(5)

SCONE EQUINE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +5m 1000-400m, True Remainder of Course.  

Good early pressure with Ofcourseiam or The Magic Man likely to take up the running. DEMARCATE (3) is first-up from a four-month spell and has transferred from the Hayes boys to Jane Clement. Beaten just 2.1 lengths in a BM62 at Cranbourne when fresh from a spell last prep. Best form puts him right in contention. LORD REMLAP (5) started at $1.65 and got the cash on debut last time out over 1000m at this track. Subsequent trial winner who certainly looks good enough to go to this next level. BIVACCO (1) bolted in two back at Canberra then copped a check at the 300m mark and didn't recover at Goulburn more recently. Handy type who can make amends. TRUCE (11) found 900m a bit sharp when first-up at Newcastle last start. Placed at this track when second-up last prep. Well in after Small's claim so has a few things in her favour. ST FAITH'S (8) is another with solid claims dropping back from a couple of runs at provincial level. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gambling on Demarcate being ready for this.

Before that settled well back; won by 3.5 len at Canberra Mdn-Sw February 20 over 1000m defeating Show Rhythm with 58.5kg at $2.60. Useful type who can bounce back.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation ninth of 12 at Kyneton Bm62 December 11 over 1103m, 6 len behind Viasain with 58kg at $16.

In a new stable now and looks good enough to take care of this field.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Wyong Prov Cl1 on March 28 over 1350m, slow going 1.75 len behind Olivia Twist carrying 56kg at $17. The run before that 4th of 8 at Gosford Cl1 on March 14 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Premium with 56.5kg at $41. Close to a win. Worth some thought again in this easier race.

Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track Super Mdn March 20 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Redzero with 58.5kg at $1.65. Won trial at Scone over 1000m on April 1. Likely to be popular with punters and looks very tough to beat again.

Second run back. First-up after five months 10th of 12 at Armidale Ctry Cl1 on March 29 over 1100m, 8 len behind Mad Harry with 57kg at $3. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on September 26 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Deel Me A Queen with 56kg at $2.60. Capable of sharp improvement with that run under the belt.

Honest galloper who cannot be underestimated.
