Seymour Race 3

W B Hunters Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

PURGATORIO (12) resumes having been well backed on debut at Echuca and running a strong race, getting into third behind an impressive winner in a race that rated very highly off a fast tempo. Since spelled, he should be an improver and will go close. EARTHBOUND (8) is a gelding by Overshare on debut for the Jusufovic yard who debuts. He's been jumping out very nicely on numerous occasions and his brother has been a strong horse for connections. FASTER LINK (10) is a Spirit Of Boom gelding for the Greg Eurell yard who debuts. Blake Shinn booked is a strong lead, respecting. ENEA (9) is a Satono Aladdin gelding on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard who warrants respect despite a wide gate. Watch the market.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 6 over 1000m, 6 len behind Face The Wild carrying 57.5kg at $61. Previously second-up ran second last of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on March 21 over 1412m, 15 len behind Winter Nights carrying 57kg at $61. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
