Mountaineer Park Race 7

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $23,611

FORCE OF JUSTICE (4) saluted last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after he was in contention on the turn. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with four wins from five starts. Ricardo Barrios who has scored on him eight times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. MAGIC MOVER (5) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1609m at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ATKINS (6) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Has been knocking on the door and he should be highly competitive. TRICKY TIGER (3) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth in a 1207m contest at Thistledown two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

At the latest run ran second last of 7 at Thistledown on September 2 over 1207m, 5 len behind Mr Penny Pincher carrying 54kg at $19.60.

On a three run winning streak. At the latest run scored a big 7 len win at this track on August 24 over 1207m defeating Ramsey with 56kg at $1.80. The run before that won by 5 len at this track on July 14 over 1609m defeating Khozando with 56kg at $1.20. Best form should see him measure right up.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run got back early 4th of 7 at Thistledown on September 2 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Mr Penny Pincher with 54kg at $6.60. The race before that 4th of 7 at Thistledown on August 10 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Colonel Vargo carrying 54kg at $3.50. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.
