Book Now For House Of Arras Corporate Marquee Cup Day Hcp (C3)

Prize Money: $28,000

Hard to go past DAYTONA DIVA (1) who ran on hard to score last time as a heavily bet favourite. Has since proven a good form race. Up in the weights but yet to miss the frame in five runs and still has upside. Follow up. GODDESS OF ROCK (4) resumed from a break with a fast finishing third over 1400m at Hobart. Looks suited here and extra trip is a plus. Definite danger. I'M CHEV (3) on the other hand is the pace influence in the race and will push forward. Won at Longford last time and although this tougher small field suits and will take catching. STEELE MY SUNSHINE (5) has been freshened since disappointing last time. Course and distance winner with the senior rider going on and worth another try. SPEED ROCK (6) has always struggled to run this trip but the small field suits and could sneak into the minors.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; won by 1.0 len at Hobart Bm64 December 28 over 1600m defeating Montezulu carrying 53kg at $1.30. Before that 3rd in a small field at this track 3yo SW on December 10 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Mazzini with 55.5kg at $4.40. Wound up strongly to score last time and expected to go on with it.

Second run back. First-up after five months eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Hobart Bm68 on December 28 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Skin In The Game carrying 54kg at $21. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Hobart Bm68 on March 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Zewinna carrying 53.5kg at $26. Hit the line hard fresh and very attractively weighted in this.

At the latest run second last in a small field at Hobart Cl4 Sw on January 2 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Magnaprime carrying 55kg at $71. Before that 7th of 9 at Hobart Cl3 on December 28 over 1200m, 4 len behind Gee Gees Me Boy carrying 54kg at $101. Struggles to run the trip but small field suits and can sneak into the finish.
