Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

Prize Money: $9,055

EXPLICIT (6) has been in sparkling form, last time showing blistering early pace and proving too slick around Sandown over 515m in 29.18, making it three wins on end. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and a minor placing from six starts. Ideally placed to take this out. SMOOTH PLANE (3) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (30.28) at Dapto over 520m. Solid record here at this trip including eight wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Should be in this for a long way. SHIMA TIME (2) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage third, beaten 2.25 lengths (29.58) at Sandown in a Mix 3/4 over 515m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Likely to be in the finish again. KING OWEN (1) is one of the chances after a minor prize at this track and distance last time.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that clocked a fast 29.51 over 515m when just missed, at Sandown. Worth including on run two back.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.58) at Sandown over 515m. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 525m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 6 lengths at Sandown (29.18) beating Talcott Bale in a Free For All on August 16. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Was out of placings last time (19.46) at Healesville in a Special conditions H, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks one of the chances.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 30.21, beating Enzola. Last start finished 4th over 600m at this track beaten 6 lengths (34.79) behind Magic Snowdrop in a Grade 4/5 on September 6. Tempted to look elsewhere.
