Cannington Race 8

Auto Owls Bentley

Stake: $4,917

NIGHT LIGHTER (3) could manage only third at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a lightning 15.79 over 275m at this track three starts ago. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. WEST ON COLE (1) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at Mandurah over 488m behind Junk Yard Clyde (27.89) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Should be about the money. ESSENTIAL CHOICE (8) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4.5 lengths (17.07) at Northam. Looks suited and is one of the contenders. DISCO DAISY (2) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Mandurah (27.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from five starts. Makes strong appeal.

Returns from a eight months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed at big odds over 509m at Northam. Capable of taking this out.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at this track when a 0.8 lengths third but did run a useful 21.73 over the 381m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (16.23) over 275m at this track. Has a solid record off the tricky draw and is among the better hopes.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 3/4 last start at Northam, recording a powerful 17.07 over the 297m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
