Birdsville Race 3

Nutrien Ag Plate (C3)

Prize Money: $24,000

LUCKY FORCE (1) is racing pretty well indeed. He took on this grade two weeks ago and bolted in at Charleville. Does come back the furlong here but the margin is the key. Has to be right in the finish. ZAVABOOM (4) got back to winning ways at Mount Isa. Has had some time off since that win but clearly enjoys being on the fresh side. WINDORAH (7) had a very good patch of form before a spell. Does seem more like this trip suits. Suspect NORTHUMBRIA (3) does want a little further. SHA NA NA (8) lost her rider at this course yesterday. Finished second on resuming a week earlier. Keep in mind off that display.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run scored a big 5.5 len win at Charleville Cl3-Sw August 23 over 1200m defeating Upturn carrying 60.5kg at $2.60. The start before that 4th of 9 at Roma on July 12 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Terambi with 61.5kg at $3. Can get the job done again.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 54 days. Last outing raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Mt Isa Cl3 July 14 over 1000m defeating Curry Legend carrying 59kg at $4. At only start last preparation 6th of 9 at Hawkesbury Prov Bm64 on November 21 over 1100m, 10 len behind Private Harry with 57kg at $21. Harder here but still a key chance.
