SCB DISTRIBUTORS THE LEGEND OF THE SOUTH 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Peyton Place and Stonecoat to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. STONECOAT (2) ran out of his skin when second-up last start at Warwick Farm, leading for home and giving a kick only to be swamped late at the end of the mile. Back in trip but if he can roll along and dig deep as he did last time this looks a winnable race. Model of consistency TULLA PARK (3) came from worse than midfield on the corner to get the cash in a Quality Sprint over 1000m at Canberra last time. Won't mind the extra trip and on current form this looks well within his grasp. CAPITAL HEART (8) appreciated the step back to country racing when he convincingly took out a Class 1 over 1425m here recently. Up in class but drops 7kgs and is drawn to get an economical run. CLEVER ART (10) made it three top three finishes from as many runs this prep when a closing third over 1200m at Kembla last start. Great chance at the weights from a favourable gate. BODY BOB (5) disappointed first-up at Canberra but can improve out to this more suitable journey. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Stonecoat.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 10 at Canberra Tab Fed Open 85 on September 6 over 1400m, 9 len behind Belleistic Kids with 61.5kg at $17. Second run from a spell 4th of 9 at Warwick Farm Cg&E Bm72 on September 25 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Rock Empire with 59kg at $101. Fitter and this looks a perfect assignment.
