Psc Insurance Pace

Prize Money: $11,832

MAJOR REASON (4) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2030m at this track. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. HAVEYOUCHECKEDIN (6) finished third at his most recent outing, beaten 4 metres, in a far better performance at Menangle over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player again. PET KITTY (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Menangle. ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on February 13.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing tenth after a quick start, behind Sky Blu at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 95 M on February 7 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Whilemena Rita at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 75 M on February 14 at $26. Will be right in the thick of things.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 8th-14.17 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Cool Night (1:52.40) in NR 58 to 71 on February 13 at $31. Two runs back won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Tamworth (2:29.00) beating Jayjaybenny in NR 61 to 70 on February 5 at $2.30 at the bell was leading 1.33. Drawn well and can do much better.

Resuming after a spell of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Grosso Naso at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 70 on December 5 at $13. Previous preparation first-up won by 3 m (Sr4) at this track (2:26.20) beating Rouge Bling in 3yo+ NR up to 70 on November 21 at $9.50. Solid claims.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was 6th-10.35 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by I Break The Line (1:51.90) in NR 72 to 80 on February 13 at $26. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 2030m at this track was 5th-9.22 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Dance With Carmer (2:25.40) in NR 71 to 90 on February 6 at $61. This looks a far sterner task.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Laceys Lad at Maitland over 2044m in a NR up to 90 on December 19 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Captain Bellasario at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on February 7 at $10. Can retain the good form.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 2300m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 13 m by Jay Ok (2:44.20) in NR up to 105 on February 14 at $34. At the start before was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 30 m by Hi Manameisjeff (1:49.30) in LR No NR on February 7 at $101. Better than recent form suggests; great chance to bounce back.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-12.22 beaten 13 m by Hi Manameisjeff (1:49.30) in LR No NR on February 7 at $61. Will improve with that run under the belt. Strong chance with that run under the belt.
