Stawell Race 3

Thomas Foods International Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

OUR ULTIMATE GRACY NZ (3) turned in a strong effort at her latest appearance over 2180m at Terang, beaten 2.5 metres into fourth after being handy in the run. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder and she can test this line-up. FERRIGNO (4) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 9 metres away in second over 1609m at Cranbourne. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. RANGER RICK NZ (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at Melton over 1720m. WICKED MITZI (2) is in the mix following a fourth at her first run back over 1720m at Melton.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following June 22 run. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 5 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, held up early, at Mt Gambier (2:10.50) beating Margaritari in on June 30 at $2.80 at the bell was 3rd-4.4. This race will be harder than that win. Has the job ahead.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton was 3rd-5.9 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Maas Betting Again (2:03.80) on July 10 at $21. Two runs back 11th (Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 55 m by Twisting By (2:36.90) on January 21 at $26. Strips fitter and is a solid top-three chance.

Carried through his consistent form from last preparation when first-up last start. Returned to racing with a good run when 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 6th-8.5 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Lambro Mach (1:55.30) on July 5 at $10. Ready to make some headway. Sure to be there at the business end.

Last start 4th (Sr4) over 1720m at Melton was 5th-8.17 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Keayang Sweetheart (2:02.10) on June 27 at $13. At the start before solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1700m after showing early speed at Horsham, at the bell was leading 0.4 beaten a head by The Naked Art (2:04.00) on June 22 at $6. Deserves another chance.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 70 m by Seaside Boy (2:42.60) on May 30 at $11. Showed ability the run before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 m (Fr5) at Ouyen (2:30.20) beating United in on May 10 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-1.4. One of the better chances.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr3) over 1720m after being wide early at Melton, beaten 30 m by Apollostorm (2:02.00) on July 4 at $151. Before that, 6th (Sr3) over 1700m at Horsham was 8th-10.1 at the bell, beaten 17 m by The Naked Art (2:04.00) on June 22 at $7. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Better than the last few runs suggest.
