DERRY (2) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a Group Listed on September 12 over 730m at The Meadows behind Mepunga Lara beaten 1.2 lengths (42.90). Winning claims. MEPUNGA DONNA (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.25 lengths (42.97) at The Meadows. Key runner on best form. SLICK NITRO (7) was a brilliant winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 1.1 lengths second at The Meadows (42.90). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading chance. BLUE TROMBONE (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th in a Group Listed on September 12 over 730m at The Meadows behind Mepunga Lara beaten 2.25 lengths (42.97). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

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 (42.90) at The Meadows over 730m. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 715m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Won two starts back at The Meadows over 730m in 42.91. Followed that up with a minor placing over 730m at The Meadows at Group Listed five days ago. Looks a solid hope.
