Stake: $7,656

AARDIE'S A STAR (3) produced a better effort last time out when he scored by 2.5 metres over 1660m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role again. SURREAL MORAN NZ (6) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished sixth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 8 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. BENNYDASOOK (9) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1660m at this track. Should run a big race. STUNNING STRANGER NZ (8) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to get the prize by 2.5 metres over 1660m at this track a week ago. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Only needs to get things right to be in the money again.

Was well back in the run when 4th (Fr4) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 4 m by Moonshine Milly (2:12.40) in 3yo+ on June 5 at $13. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 10 m by Bettor Be Bodhi (2:37.00) on May 28 at $9. This looks a far sterner test.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track beaten 8 m by Bettor Be Bodhi (2:37.00) on May 28 at $41. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1660m after being wide early at this track, beaten 15 m by Pure Grunt (1:58.90) in 3yo CG on May 22 at $151. Not doing enough.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 55 m by Ideal Bronski (1:55.60) in 3yo CG on May 22 at $41. Two runs back posted a big 11 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:01.10) beating Wannabe Wicked in on May 11 at $2. Facing a tricky assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr5) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 8 m by Mystery Creek (2:40.40) in 3yo CG on April 26 at $45.60. At the previous start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 9 m by Marble Arch (1:54.10) in 3yo CG on April 12 at $22.30. Capable of testing this field.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 11 m by Roman Charlie (1:58.30) on June 4 at $8. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Redcliffe (2:11.70) beating Social Outing in on May 27 at $1.35. Worth another chance.

Comments

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Fire And Passion at this track over 1660m in a 3yo G3 CG on May 30 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Roman Charlie at this track over 1660m on June 4 at $2.15. Looks very hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
