Carrick Race 6

Westwood Quarry Stakes

Prize Money: $12,000

HORATIUS SPECULO (6) finished fifth last start over 2579m at Hobart, beaten 12 metres. Best recent result was a win at Launceston three starts ago over 2200m. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RAKADAN NZ (2) scored last start by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 2150m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. LYNRYD SKYNRYD NZ (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2 metres at Hobart over 2090m. WHISKEY CAVALIER NZ (3) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth when resuming over 2200m at Launceston on February 8.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 2150m at this track, beaten 17 m by Rakadan (2:37.10) in NR 75 to 105 on February 22 at $11. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2 m (10m Fr4) at Launceston (3:22.50) beating Vanquish Stride in NR 70 or better on February 15 at $3.30. Strong contender.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Iron Clad at Launceston over 2698m in a NR 70 or better on February 15 at $17. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Rakadan at this track over 2150m in a NR 75 to 105 on February 22 at $20. Another big run would not surprise.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2150m at this track beaten 12 m by Rakadan (2:37.10) in NR 75 to 105 on February 22 at $31. Two runs back 7th (Fr4) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 20 m by Maddis Tiger (2:33.30) in No NR on December 21 at $6. This looks a far sterner test.

Comments

Well beaten last start by Rakadan, who he meets again; when 17 metres sixth at this track over 2150m in a NR 75 to 105 race on February 22. Hard to have on those efforts.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2090m after racing wide at Hobart, beaten 3 m by Nova Baxter (2:34.10) in LR No NR M on February 28 at $4. Decent effort last start. Bright prospects again.
