Gosford Race 7

Simply Limelight At Stud

Prize Money: $1,350

REBEL REIGN (1) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 388m behind Black Dazzler (22.79) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Better than last start and worth following up. BACKYARD FRIENDS (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 22.41 in a 2.25 lengths win at Maitland over 400m. One of the leading chances again. TOP BIN NISMO (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2.25 lengths away in second (25.43) at Maitland in a Grade 5 over 450m. The form from his last run stacks up well. Overdue and expected to feature again. ARCANE LEGEND (7) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (30.06) in a Grade 5 at The Gardens last time out.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished last over 388m at this track beaten 7 lengths (22.79) behind Black Dazzler in a Grade 5 on September 10. Should prove hard to beat.
