Esperance Race 6

Spottys Mechanical (Bm70+)

Prize Money: $22,000

DEBONNAIRE (2) made rapid progress through the grades last prep and looks set for another big prep after finishing third fresh up over 1100m here just over 3 weeks ago. He normally improves quickly with racing and could just have the class edge over his rivals in this. On top. TALK SOFTLY (6) led up last start but weakened out of it in the run home. He has won 6 times on this track and should be at his peak fitness after having 3 runs back from a spell. Each way claims this time. COCOON BAY (7) did not cope with the quick backup last time out when finishing at the rear of the field. He has been given 5 weeks to get over that effort and can make amends. Don't risk him. HILTON (4) did not come up in a couple of starts during last winter and was put aside. He showed his true ability when resuming with a comfortable win here 15 days ago and has won second up in the past. Stick with him. WESTERNIZE (8) is a durable veteran who is still capable of figuring in the finish at this level.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 8 at this track Rtg 70+ on December 26 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Boozeroo with 59kg at $4.40. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 0.9 len at Kalgoorlie Cl2 June 9 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Secret Attire with 59.5kg at $7. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.

Useful type. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at this track Rtg 70+ on December 14 over 1300m, 6 len behind Mungo Jerry with 54.5kg at $3.80. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.7 len at this track Cl5 December 6 over 1100m defeating Mungo Jerry with 58.5kg at $15. Better than the last effort suggests and is worth another chance.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Useful type. Most recently 7th of 9 at this track Rtg 58+ on January 3 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Hilton carrying 58kg at $9.50. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.5 len at this track Rtg 54+ December 14 over 1100m defeating Blue Can Talk with 58.5kg at $10. Rates highly on best form and can make his presence felt.
