Seymour Race 4

Tallarook Sheds Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

ENEA (6) gets the nod. He was very game on debut here over this trip, sitting just off the pace and missing a head when just shaded late. He should improve off that and maps for every chance from the soft gate. GOLD CHALICE (7) ran a strong race on debut at Geelong before struggling in treacherous conditions at Bendigo. Willing to forgive that and trust the market which sent him out a $2.15 favourite. Can bounce right back. FIERY FUN (11) debuted in a good race behind Saintly Dancer & Ghana's Akan. We should get a good guide to that form in the previous race and it should hold up. TECKNOKING (3) is a Written Tycoon gelding who can run well for Cliff Brown on debut, while PINAZAKI (10) could be an improver in his second campaign.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 11 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Geelong on June 19 over 1125m, on heavy track; nose behind Fast Freddie carrying 58kg at $4.40. Last start ran second last in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on August 12 over 1000m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Hydro Rush with 58kg at $2.15. Can do much better and bounce back.
