Prize Money: $12,177

Three-time course and distance winner RIVER WHARFE (1) holds leading claims in view of a sound 2L fourth over 1600m at this venue last time. Key runner. BEAR TO DREAM (3) represents the main danger following a 3.5L fifth tackling track and trip on latest outing. MAJORELLE BLUE (4) ran 8L fifth attempting 1600m at Leicester most recently. Warrants serious consideration. COLORADA DANCER (5) rates as a top-three prospect.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on June 24 over 1600m, 2 len behind Alice's Impact carrying 60kg at $9. The race before that 4th of 10 at this track on June 9 over 1410m, 2.5 len behind Poetic Force with 61kg at $6.50. Encouraging effort last start. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months second last of 7 at Lingfield on June 21 over 1200m, 8 len behind Silky Robin carrying 57.5kg at $51. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Chepstow on September 3 over 1200m, 7 len behind Savannah Smiles with 61.5kg at $19. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.

Third-up today. First-up 8th of 12 at Lingfield on June 7 over 1400m, on a slow track; 21 len behind Blue Collar Lad carrying 61kg at $11. Second-up second last in a small field at Leicester on June 26 over 1600m, 8 len behind Little Ted with 59kg at $6. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
