GOING:

COMFORT INN & SUITES NORTHGATE PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD      

YOGI (5) had been racing in great heart then kept the ball rolling last start when he finished third over 2200m at Marburg, beaten 5 metres. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done. CAPTAIN OH CAPTAIN (6) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1780m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. BETA THAN LOVE (4) is better than his last-start run would suggest when finishing seventh over 2200m at Marburg. Long time out of top-three form but can place. TAKE COURAGE (9) disappointed last time when sixth over 1780m at this track after racing three-wide in the middle stages. Can do a lot better so is worth considering.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2200m at Marburg, beaten 13 m by Convair Hustler (2:50.90) in 3yo+ on May 24 at $6.50. The run previous 7th (Fr7) over 2138m at Albion Park, beaten 80 m by Ascot Showtime (2:36.90) in 3yo+ on April 21 at $41. Worth another chance. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Tommy Bligh at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ on May 15 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Madame West at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ on May 25 at $23. In fine form. Sure to go well again.
