Grace Panella Racing Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

YESNOMAYBESO (3) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SOME CHEVRON (10) produced a better effort at his latest appearance, finishing fifth over 2030m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. ONEHANDONEBOUNCE (1) is better than his last-start ninth over 1609m at this track. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (9) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Always Be Chaps at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on August 22 at $41. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1980m at Tamworth was 6th-7.6 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Saint Crusader (2:26.90) in NR up to 70 on August 14 at $17. Deserves another chance.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 15 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:57.10) beating Lasting Memory in NR up to 53 on August 22 at $34. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 2030m after showing early speed at this track beaten 5.5 m by Duty Of Care (2:27.60) in NR up to 58 on August 22 at $5.50. At the previous start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle was 10th-18 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Tuapeka Lou (1:52.60) in NR up to 60 on August 18 at $81.
