Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early.
DIRTY SUMMER (1) found the lead a long way from home and only conceded late in the piece when resuming over 1100m at Gosford last start. This maiden doesn't look as deep and coming back to 1000m is a tick. Perfectly placed to break the ice. CAPITAL ILLUSION (5) was in commission on debut at Warwick Farm and after showing pace held on well for third to Bangkok Hottie who franked the form in town last Saturday. Serious threat with that race experience now on board. OVER THE LIMIT (7) recorded his fourth minor placing from eight starts when runner-up over this distance at Canberra recently. Gets some significant weight relief today so although up in grade he comes under notice. BARRACKS (2) started at $1.55 but found one better over today's journey at Hawkesbury last start. Open to plenty of improvement at just his third trip to the races. DOLCE VITA (6) was easily accounted for first-up but is capable of better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on the top two picks - Dirty Summer just gets the nod.

DIRTY SUMMER
JIM & GREG LEE 3YO BROWN GELDING 59.0KG F Khedoori Second-up. Promising on debut gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Cge Mdn-Sw on December 16 over 1150m, slow going neck behind Heroic Deed carrying 55kg at $9.50. Returned from break 4th of 7 at Gosford Super Mdn-Sw on April 9 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Revolutionary Star with 55.5kg at $4. Can build on that game effort last time and play a key role here. |
