GOING: S(7)

INLAND 4WD & TRACTORS SHOWCASE CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1512m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with Rockbarton Marshal probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. BRILLIANT KNIGHT (2) lightly raced filly who was thrown in the deep end last start with a battling eighth over 1500m at Rosehill in Highway class. Finds a more suitable contest and can rediscover winning form on a firmer surface. PICK UP THE TAB (1) gets out in trip today and comes back a level fifth-up. Returned from a let-up over the unsuitable trip with a poor last over 1250m at Taree. Claim helps from the gate and needs to produce here. LOOK AT MEGO (5) just over three-weeks between runs when she scored a surprise win over 1500m at this track. Confidence is high and has the speed to get across from the gate. Place best. ROCKBARTON MARSHAL (4) lightly raced gelding heading in the right direction. Shed his Maiden tag at the second race start then run down late when second over 1500m here. Blinkers go on and sure to be thereabouts. PHOENIX POWER (3) eye-catching return over the shorter trip here. Strengthened over the break and don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brilliant Knight looks hard to stop.

At the latest run ran last of 11 at Taree Bm82 on June 5 over 1250m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Koios carrying 55.5kg at $17. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 12 at Kembla Grange Bm64 on April 29 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Magical Moments carrying 61kg at $10. Slowly away last start and can make rapid improvement.

The start before that ran last in a small field at this track Cl1 on May 27 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Look At Mego with 55kg at $21. Doubt she will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.
