Murwillumbah Race 2

Riverview Hotel Mdn Hcp

Stake: $29,160

DARK STRATUM (2) was formerly with the Richard Litt stable in Sydney and makes his local debut here. Close second at Warwick Farm three runs back reads well and a handy effort at Canberra last time. Has to be the horse to beat. CASTERLY ROCK (1) was breathing down the neck of a win in four runs back before a shock flop at the Sunshine Coast when well in the market. Have to be a little forgiving in this small field. ALMALIKAT SARAH (4) was a handy improver despite a big betting drift at her second start and is some chance. REDADEL (3) and SHARMAN PETE (7) look place hopes.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently second last of 15 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on May 3 over 1800m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Mazis carrying 60kg at $4.40. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on April 20 over 1600m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Ranger Enjay with 59.5kg at $2.20. Form prior to last start failure was strong so worth another

Last start 3rd of 9 at Canberra Cl1-Sw on May 9 over 1600m, slow going 3 len behind Chilly Charlie carrying 55.5kg at $8. The start before that ran last of 7 at Canterbury Super 3yo Mdn on April 30 over 1550m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Dark Arts carrying 54.5kg at $17. First run for new stable and form looks pretty strong for this.

At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 14 at Inverell Cl1-Sw on May 23 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Talakai carrying 55kg at $7.50. The start before that second last of 9 at Taree Mdn on May 13 over 1400m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Prince Is Game carrying 59kg at $5.50. Had his chance last time but has found some form so stays under notice.

Having third race start. At debut, 5th of 12 at Grafton Super Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1420m, slow going 2 len behind Assent carrying 53.5kg at $6. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at Beaudesert Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Sammaan City carrying 53kg at $11. Showed improvement at second start and may have more upside than most.

Having second run back today. Last run 6th of 10 at Gold Coast Poly 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 17 over 1100m, 12 len behind Capital Diva with 58kg at $51. At only start last preparation eased back early on 6th of 10 at Gold Coast Poly 3yo Mdn Sw on February 1 over 1050m, 6 len behind Diamond Epic carrying 58kg at $17. Safely held last time out and would need to lift sharply.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 5th of 9 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on May 9 over 1435m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Labarna with 57kg at $6.50. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Gold Coast Poly Mdn on August 24 over 1540m, 12 len behind Lietuva carrying 59kg at $10. Fair effort on a heavy track fresh but small field here so not out of it.
