Carrathool Race 5

Carrathool Cup

Prize Money: $22,000

COPPERFIELD (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when sixth over 1600m at Towong three weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. SAN MARCO (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Berrigan. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. CHOSEN VENTURE (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into sixth over 1300m at Swan Hill. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASTUNNER (2) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1400m contest at Holbrook last time out by 0.6 lengths. Best figures have him right in the mix.
