Carnarvon Race 2

Mt Augustus Tourist Park Carnarvon Sprint (Bm68+)

Prize Money: $30,000

CRUISE TO VICTORY (2) was well beaten in a slightly stronger field at Broome last time out, but this is a much more suitable assignment and he gets the chance to bounce straight back. He has earned every bit of his top weight of 65kg, but he is good enough to lump it to victory here. FIRE THE GUARD (5) will be hard to beat after charging home to miss by just a neck here last start. That effort was strong enough to win this and another bold finish is expected. WEAPONS HOT (6) drops 5.5kg after being beaten by just under 4 lengths at Junction, and he can improve sharply back on a circuit that he knows well. RED REBEL (4) brings solid recent form after finishing third here and should land on the speed, giving him every chance to stick on for another placing. PRINCE RAGNAR (3) can improve sharply second-up. He usually performs better with a run under his belt and is worth including at the odds.

Last start 4th of 9 in the Newman Sprint on August 22 over 1200m, 6 len behind Kings Call carrying 62.5kg at $7.50. The run before that 7th of 9 in the Broome Sprint on August 11 over 1300m, 20 len behind Now You See Me carrying 60.5kg at $21. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 32 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 in the Broome Sprint on August 11 over 1300m, 13 len behind Now You See Me with 61kg at $3.80. The run before that won by 6 len in a Rtg 70+ at Broome on July 24 over 1300m defeating Gift Of The Heart carrying 60.5kg at $2. Expected to play a major role.

Second-up. First-up after four months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 in a Stu Maver 68+ at this track on August 30 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Weapons Hot carrying 59kg at $8. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 in a Stu Maver Memo at this track on August 31 2025 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Oscar Charlie with 58kg at $4.20. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 in a Peter Evans 67+ at this track on August 30 over 1750m, 4 len behind Star Testymony carrying 58.5kg at $6. Before that led but faded 2nd of 9 in a Rtg 68+ at this track on August 16 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Hard Questions carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Cannot be taken lightly.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 7 in a Rtg 56+ at Junction on September 5 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Intoxicating with 60.5kg at $7. Before that won by a neck in a Stu Maver 68+ at this track on August 30 over 1000m defeating Fire The Guard carrying 53.5kg at $12. Finds a nice race and can atone.
