Race 1

Prize Money: $34,237

EVER HOPING A (1) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a return to the winner's list. BETTOR BY SEASIDE (3) scored last time out by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. STELLAR YANKEE (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. IKNOWBETTER (2) is usually thereabouts and must be included following a last start fifth at this track.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Catalpa Rescue (1:52.10) in NW23073L5 on August 25 at $19.95. At the start before 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Ever Hoping (1:51.30) in 50000CLM on August 12 at $4.29. Doing enough to suggest he can figure in the finish.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Topville Somebeach in 40000CLM on August 31 at $1.34. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Well beaten last start by Bettor By Seaside, a rival who he faces again; when 16 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM race on August 24. Can't see him featuring.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Bettor By Seaside (1:51.40) in 50000CLM on August 24 at $4.99. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Optical Illusion in 50000CLM on August 5 at $2.94. One of the chances based on recent efforts.
