GOING: F

AVE TECHNOLOGIES PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 15)    

CAPTAIN DORIAN (2) won at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. DEECEE ROCKIN (1) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. STICK MAN (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track. HLOBRO (4) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. Prior form was good so include in all combinations.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Flare Up at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 55 on May 30 at $5. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Ozzie Corka at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 47 on June 6 at $6.50. Gets his chance to break through.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr2) over 1980m after showing early speed at Tamworth was leading by 0.6 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Amillion Promises (2:26.10) in NR up to 53 on June 12 at $3.70. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 8 m finishing seventh after being driven well back, behind Stealth Bomba at this track over 1609m in a NR 53 to 57 on June 2 at $16. Not likely to threaten this time.
