CNC ROUTER BITS PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

SOME AMERICAN (7) gave a sight in a higher-graded race first-up, leading and sticking on for fourth. That was his first time out of the top-three in five tries at this distance. He draws wide but will be improved and is a Breeders Crown winner at this circuit so looks suited in this company. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (6) was a beaten favourite in Sydney last start but still boxed on okay to place. Had kicked off his campaign with a win at this circuit prior, taking his record at the distance to seven from nine. Big chance. JUSTALITTLESIP (8) put the writing on the wall with a placing two back then hit his peak and delivered here last time. Draws for a trail and could go on with it. JILLIBYJACKSPARROW (9) hasn't raced since the Kilmore Cup last September but was readied with a trial win so keep safe. SURFINGMAKESCENTS (5) is suited back in distance having scored in two of her three attempts at it here.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing third behind Sweet Ideal at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 75 on July 26 at $8. Nice effort last time. Goes well here and is a player.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 2240m at this track was 5th-7.08 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Kosimo (2:41.30) in NR 80 to 89 on July 19 at $2.10. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a nose (Sr2) at this track (2:02.40) beating Wings On The Line in NR up to 79 M on July 5 at $4.20. Capable of taking this out.
