MODEST MAN (2) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in six starts, including three wins and three placings.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length second (25.24) over 450m at Maitland. Had won two on end prior to that last start placing. Can atone.

Won two starts back at this track over 515m in 30.24. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Other runners look much more appealing.

Tends to be fast away. Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth on December 9 over 388m at Gosford behind Ikigai, beaten 2.5 lengths (22.48) in a Grade 5. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Missed the frame latest (30.18) when seventh over 515m at Gosford in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from seven starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Wentworth Park over 520m in 30.38, claiming a Grade 5 by 2.5 lengths. Solid beginner who will give a sight from out wide.

Was out of placings last time (30.49) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Has three minors from four starts from box 8. Looks one of the chances.
