Gatton Race 1

Falvey's Hotel Gatton Mdn Hcp

Stake: $23,980

The three-year-old maidens kick us off. ELRONTE (6) just ran into one better when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Looks to have some ability and is sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. SONIC FLYER (10) is on debut but draws low and gets the services of Bayliss in the stirrups. Must be included in a race decimated by scratchings. NASIRON (12) strips fitter second-up from the spell and expect to see plenty of improvement. Top-three candidate. CODE BUSTER (13) next in line but just needs some luck from the outside draw.

Gelding by Dirty Work on debut. Dam was a winner of one race. Trialled on July 22 at Sunshine Coast Inner Track over 1000m and finished sixth. Well held in recent trials so prefer to see.

At debut, 2nd of 8 at Gold Coast 2yo Hcp on July 19 over 1015m, slow going 1.3 len behind Sussusudio carrying 55.5kg at $15. Plenty of upside and is among the leading contenders.

First starter by U S Navy Flag - Taormina purchased for NZD $6,500 (Gavelhouse 2023 Thoroughbred 21 August auction). Half-sister to three-time winner Rich N Powerful. Has run a number of ordinary trials leading in today's debut. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and inclined to let her go around in this.

Since last run he has trialed at Sunshine Coast Inner Track over 1000m on 22/07/2025; Last start 10th of 15 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn on July 13 over 1000m, 7 len behind Gozo with 57.5kg at $13. Before that ran last of 14 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn June 15 over 1000m, soft track; 9 len behind Jaggery carrying 58kg at $11. Not much to like about his prospects.
