GOING: G(4)

WILD OATS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

All Too Sneaky to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. BLEND OF THREE (2) was placed at 2100m back in January so did a great job to win easily first-up at 1100m at Scone. Another 100m is of no concern to him and he's drawn ideally so he could be one on the way up. HARD TOO IMPRESS (3) has won one from 13 but is a regular placegetter. Beaten favourite last time at Narromine but still ran well and is one of the chances again. BULLA VINAKA (9) ran a big race first-up from a long spell and would be open to some improvement. Well worth including in the chances. IVANA (4) has trialled well for a cheeky first-up run and ALL TOO SNEAKY (8) shows up now and then. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blend Of Three to win.

Form has been mixed but is an each-way chance.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn-Sw September 10 over 1000m defeating Miss Adamas with 56.5kg at $3. Showing promise and stays under notice off a long layoff.

Recent form sound. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Scone Cl1 on August 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Nova Centauri carrying 56.5kg at $26. Before that came from midfield and won by 1.1 len at Muswellbrook 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 8 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Jagerschnitzel with 59kg at $3.30. Will need a bit of luck but hard to fault the form around him.

At the latest run 6th of 12 at Newcastle Mid Cl1 on August 26 over 1250m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Bellenth with 55kg at $71. The run before that got back early 6th of 9 at Hawkesbury Cl1 on August 12 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Valilee carrying 55kg at $151. Inside gate a plus but does need to improve a little even though she's back in grade.
