GOING: G(4)

Book for Classic Raceday Sat 28th September Class 3 Plate 1200m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 24) Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.9).
Strong early tempo with Kathy's Beau and Outback Step leading the way over Humour Me. Former Victorian KATHY'S BEAU (4) is having his first run for the new stable but the form he showed down south was more than good enough to feature in a race like this. Revved up for this with two solid trials and a strong race while fresh is expected. SENNAPROST (3) is one from one around this track and trip and gets 2kg off with the claim. Rarely runs a bad race and has to be included. BUSH DIAMOND (1) has won two from three around this circuit and will be at peak fitness for this. Top-three candidate. HUMOUR ME (9) returned in winning order here and can go right on with the job now. The well-related PRIVATE CHEETAH (2) (half to 2xG1 winner Think About It) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kathy's Beau to win.
1	x6622	BUSH DIAMOND CLINTON TAYLOR 4YO BAY GELDING 60.0KG A J Acton & Mrs J C Acton Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Rockhampton Cl3 on August 29 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Hellish with 57.5kg at $8.50. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Rockhampton Bm60 on July 30 over 1050m, slow going 2.5 len behind Bencoolen carrying 59kg at $5. Rates highly and can break through.	5 JUSTIN HUXTABLE

The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track 0 - 60 on August 10 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Gold Academy carrying 59kg at $13. Certainly worth another chance.	8 ASHLEY BUTLER
