Gavea Race 4

Prize Money: $4,687

AIR BALL (1) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. NOBU SOUL (2) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BAVARO BEACH (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Each way claims in this.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on January 21 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Olympic Lawyer carrying 60kg at $7.50. The start before that won by 1.75 len at this track January 7 over 1400m defeating Aglow Way with 57kg at $4.70. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
