Seymour Race 2

Early Espionage Speed Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

Open race with a few progressive types. WHIMSY SMILE (8) resumes having run 4th on debut at Ballarat in an even showing. We've been taken with his recent jumpouts and suspect he can be a quick improver this time around. CAXTON STREET (2) is a very well bred gelding by Written Tycoon out of G1 winner Bella Vella for the Hayes yard. He's been jumping out stylishly and looks ready to go. LA REINA VEGA (9) is a filly by Lucky Vega on debut for the Begg yard. She's won a jumpout and the stable are always dangerous with these types. MIRADOR (10) was just fair fresh in Saturday grade having shown ability prior, she can improve sharply here. KEEN OBSERVER (7) is an Ole Kirk colt on debut for the Busuttin & Young stable who should run well.

Lugging Bit FIRST TIME

Comments

Gelding by Blue Point making his first appearance. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Wodonga on June 29. Trained here and should get all the favours from the gate but others profile better this time.

Second-up. First start ran last of 9 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on January 9 over 1000m, 8 len behind Brazen Dechambeau with 58kg at $8.50. Went for a break before returning 6th of 9 at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1212m, slow going 3 len behind Lady Of Pompeii with 58kg at $17. Fitter but has a bit to find.
