GOING: S(5)

1EQUINE - FOR THE EQUINE ATHLETE Class 1 Plate 2150m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.80)  

Solid tempo anticipated with O'caldino leading the way. O'CALDINO (1) has to be the one to beat today. He is bred to be lapping up these trips and importantly get the confidence from not just a maiden win, but a big maiden win here. Can control and win again. SOMETHIN IN ORANGE (2) is at least on the improve himself. He too should be enjoying the step up in ground. The obvious danger. BITUNG (3) finally got her first win away last week. Could well be wanting those wetter conditions to return. BOLERO (4) has generally been around the mark. The placings do seem her best go here. BAMBINO DI VINO (7) ran her best race so far three weeks back. Obviously wants ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'caldino the best.

Dual acceptor. Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by 3 len at this track Mdn-Sw July 19 over 2000m defeating Bambino Di Vino with 58.5kg at $2. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 7 at Gold Coast Mdn-Sw on July 5 over 2208m, on a slow track; 4 len behind State Of Affairs with 58.5kg at $2.70. Found form and should be thereabouts again.
