GOING: FM

Race 9 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo with Dona Venus and Cool Gadget leading from A Shin Scotty and Tamamo Altair. COOL GADGET (2) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1200m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. A SHIN SCOTTY (4) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DONA VENUS (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 14 when beaten 18 lengths into 13th at this track over 1000m. Likely improver with strong prospects. NITRO (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in second over 1200m at this track. Hard to leave out.

Most recently sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 11 at this track on March 10 over 1600m, 6 len behind Yapushi with 56kg at $3.90. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at this track February 13 over 1600m defeating Reve De Face carrying 56kg at $3.40. Capable of a better run.
