Mandurah Race 7

Sires On Ice (Wa)

Prize Money: $5,336

SURF THE SUN (2) is a talented type who notched his 17th career success when too good (22.18) at this track last time. Solid record here at the distance winning 15 races. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Expected to go well again. AUSSIE GEM (1) has been out of the placings at her last two starts but prior to that produced a powerful 22.28 win over 400m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. ASTON NERO (8) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 297m at Northam, taking a Free For All in a lightning 16.96. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. FERNANDO FUN (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Free For All on September 12 over 400m at this track behind Surf The Sun beaten 5.5 lengths (22.57). Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (22.57) at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (22.36), beating Sunset Nightjar. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer in something easier.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.67, beating Rigatoni Monelli. Last start finished last in a Free For All on September 12 over 400m at this track behind Surf The Sun beaten 10 lengths (22.92). Has claims on best form.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 400m at this track, clocking 22.61. Has run hot time here with a 22.03 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
