Kununurra Race 4

Brett Cattle Company (Bm56+)

Stake: $16,350

BUCKLEUP BUDDY (2) will be up the front and striving to lead all the way. He almost did that just last week. Maybe the step back 100m could well be what he needs. He is close to being perfectly suited. CITY OF SIN (1) does appear the only danger. This is easier than last run and before that he was winning well. Can't give away a huge start. BOOM SMASH OPERA (3) has been OK of late without saluting. Comes back to the sharper journey today. TYQUENDO (5) keeps getting beaten a long way. You would think he has a lot of ground to make up. EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (4) has run some fair races but last effort was weak.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run in a small field at this track Rtg 58+ on August 23 over 1100m, 7 len behind Fast Freeze carrying 58kg at $3.70. The race before that won by 2.75 len at Broome Rtg 58+ August 12 over 1100m defeating Requisition carrying 55kg at $4. Big chance to bounce straight back.
