GOING: G(4)

ALAN BROWN STAKES 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Oh Diamond Lil can work over from a wide gate to lead. Big prize money and very tough to sort out. BOSUSTOW (5) gets the verdict after an excellent return over this distance in the Bill Ritchie last start, chiming in late but just coming up short. Group One placegetter at this trip. Fitter and from a nice alley looks sure to feature. WILLYDOIT (10) sustained a minor injury and was a late scratching from the Epsom last Saturday. Caught the eye first-up over this trip in the Tramway, weaving through traffic late. Derby winner who can perform over these shorter trips. HEADLEY GRANGE (2) hit a new peak when successful in the Gr 3 Cameron at Newcastle recently. Outside gate dampens the enthusiasm but he will run well as always. AIRMAN (4) can improve third-up on a seven-day turnaround. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bosustow each-way.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by 1.1 len at Newcastle G3 Cameron September 19 over 1500m defeating Vivy Air with 58.5kg at $6. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at this track Open Hcp August 2 over 1500m in heavy going defeating Diamond Diesel carrying 58kg at $3.70. Has a horror draw and is tackling some better types but his form is impossible to fault.
