GOING:

CUNDERDIN CUP CONDITIONED HANDICAP SS PACE 2500m

Track: GOOD      

TUBBS FARQUHAR (10) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2116m at Pinjarra, beaten 6 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. THOMSON BAY (11) ran tenth last start at Pinjarra over 2116m, beaten 18 metres. Looks well suited in this line-up so expect him to be prominent. MAJOR FREEWAY (9) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 2185m at Pinjarra six days ago. FLEUR DU MAQUIS (12) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2242m at Narrogin last time our after racing in behind the speed to the turn.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2130m at Gloucester Park, beaten 18 m by Hes Thunder (2:38.60) in 4yo+ on December 6 at $151. Might need this run and others rate better.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at Gloucester Park, beaten 23 m by Ciganda (2:06.30) in 4yo+ M on May 26 at $21. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1177m after being wide early at Pinjarra, beaten 12 m by Canelo (1:23.20) in 4yo+ on May 18 at $34. This looks a far sterner task.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr3) over 2130m at Gloucester Park beaten 10 m by Im Massimo (2:36.00) in 4yo+ on May 22 at $34. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (2:08.40) beating Get Ya Bets On in 4yo+ on May 17 at $14. Can improve enough to feature.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Smokeys Shadow at this track over 2100m on May 17 at $20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Call To Arms at Pinjarra over 2116m on May 25 at $20. Sure to be thereabouts.

The run prior 12th (Fr3) over 2185m after showing early pace at Pinjarra, beaten 85 m by Boy Blue (2:36.60) in 4yo+ on May 18 at $12. This looks a nice assignment.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 10th (40m Fr2) over 2116m at Pinjarra beaten 18 m by Call To Arms (2:37.10) on May 25 at $21. The start before was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2130m at Gloucester Park, beaten 18 m by Lou Lamour (2:35.10) in 4yo+ on May 19 at $91. This looks a suitable assignment.
