Race 8

Prize Money: $680

SMALL BOSS (3) stuck on well last time to finish 2 lengths back in second (17.16) at this track in a D3 over 285m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Can find winning form. MONTALTO RANGER (5) turned in a solid run last start over 285m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (17.24). Bold showing expected. SPOT ON AMETHYST (1) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 4 lengths at this track over 285m (16.86). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. BLUESTAR GRACE (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 285m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 285m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (17.24) behind Spiritual Gift in a D3 on July 31. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
