Race 9

Prize Money: $17,417

OPERATOR (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 18 metres. Has the talent to take this out. NIKO MAN (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. EUGENE THE GENIUS (6) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. WHISKEY LOU (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Solid performance when a close second behind Drink Up Drink Up at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2 on July 18 at $64.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Starlitfranknstein at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L4 on July 25 at $3.10. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
