Race 8

Prize Money: $47,414

BOURBON COUNTY (3) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. RESILIENT N (1) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of another big performance. RAILROAD STATION (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. VERDUN (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Lyons Franky J (1:53.00) in NW20391L5 on September 29 at $28.69. Two runs back posted a big 14 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Ragnar Lothbrok in NW15000L5 on September 22 at $2.55. Preferred in something easier.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 31 run. Last start won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.30) beating Always A Thrill in NW20000L5 on September 7 at $1.09. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to step up.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Captain Moore (1:51.30) in INVITATION on September 14 at $5.19. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a neck as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:52.10) beating Catalpa Rescue in NW32101L5 on September 7 at $2.39. Worth consideration.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Catalpa Rescue at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on September 21 at $31.11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Mossdale Ben at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on September 28 at $10.26. Looks ready to win again.
