Real Punters Play Here (Bm46+)

Stake: $21,250

CLASSIC ROYALE (4) is the one to beat with one win and three placings from five starts here, benefiting from the inside draw to bounce back. His eighth at Northam CL1 was only just over three lengths off in provincial company, and his second at this venue two starts back was impressive after being held up near the 250m. INVINCIBLE RUBY (3) adds strength after a first-up fourth in a Belmont Park CL3, closing well behind Harbour Rise, and faces an easier task second-up. The 60.5kg weighs her down, but her two wins and six placings at 1100m keep her competitive. CASINO ROYALE (1) is in form, having won a BM56+ at Leinster and placing third at Leonora, plus the 3kg claim helps offset the higher weight despite the wide barrier. I'M EUGENE (6) is a place chance, second-up with proven 1100m experience, reuniting with Jordan Turner after a sixth-place finish where he lacked a finishing kick. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE (5) is next best.

Worked home soundly from back in the field when fifth behind Casino Royale in a BM56+ at Leinster, beaten three and a half lengths as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was plainer in a BM64+ at Leonora, where he only battled on behind Dublin Red. Looking to others.

Resumed with a solid fourth in a Class 3 at Belmont Park, beaten two and a half lengths by Harbour Rise after settling rearward and making ground late. That mid-week form reads well coming to an easier assignment, and she is second-up for a leading trainer at this track. Strong chance if she carries the 60.5kg cleanly.

Drawn ideally and returns to a venue where his record reads one win and three placings from five starts. His Northam Class 1 run in provincial company looks plain on paper, finishing second last and beaten just over three lengths, but he was coming from the back and did pick up late. The track profile makes him the one to beat.

Comments

Placed first-up at Collie in a Mdn, but the margin was still six and a half lengths after she travelled just off the lead and lacked the dash to threaten. Her Bunbury run before that had excuses, with restraint and a hampering incident noted, though she was beaten just under ten lengths. Lightly raced and place hopes if sharper second-up.

Norton Bit AGAIN, Tongue Control Bit OFF AGAIN

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just under four lengths, when handy enough but unable to quicken. He was also safely held by Sesh on soft ground here the run prior and was at generous odds last time, so the win case remains measured. Beaten just under four lengths here last time and can press for a place with more dash late.
