Keen battle for the lead with Astunner, Ti Tree Royal and Jaskier in advance of Tycoon Artie and Menzah One. New Mick Travers acquisition MENZAH ONE (2) ran a better race last start at the second run of the campaign, closing well to finish third over this distance at Canberra in a Class 1. Tested at stakes level last prep under the McEvoys in Adelaide. Has his share of weight but with further improvement might be too good for these. LIGHT FOOT (3) worked home well without threatening first-up over 1175m at Albury. Led all the way to win at this stage last prep over today's course and distance. Has a nice sense of timing about this appearance. ASTUNNER (1) has thrived under new mentor Darrell Burnet this prep. Great effort to be beaten just a length in a BM74 over 1200m at Wagga Riverside most recently. Big weight to contend with but should run well again. JASKIER (8) continued his good recent form with a close fourth over 1200m at Echuca last start. Is a winner at this trip and looks sure to be thereabouts again. TYCOON ARTIE (4) can improve third-up over an extra 100m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Menzah One in a decent race to close proceedings.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Wagga Riverside Bm74 on October 18 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Off The Press with 58kg at $8.50. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Cootamundra Bm58 October 5 over 1200m defeating Teresprit carrying 64kg at $3.30. Hard to fault this prep and is a live chance despite the big weight.  |
