1st
#7 Runaway ($6)
An open race, but fancy the consistent form around the Tulloch Lodge-trained colt who boasts a win and two seconds from four career starts so far. Is improving each run and progressing through the grades well. Two back at Rosehill was runner-up over 1500m here to the eye-catching D’argento before winning over 1550m to break his maiden status at Canterbury on August 9. Natural progression into a black-type assignment here. Over a little less distance, but shouldn’t find the 1400m too sharp. In form and ready to fire, market mover so money is coming, just needs to right run from the wide alley.
2nd
#1 Astoria ($11)
Nice price offered on the promising James Cummings-trained son of Medagla D’Oro first-up. On debut won at Warwick Farm over 1100m in the mud before a Rosehill second in late March over this track / distance in a Group 3 behind the Mission. Was outclassed in the Group 1 ATC Sires’ at Randwick after that, but this is easier. Runs well fresh, has form at Rosehill and has been bought on fitness wise with two smart trials. Genuine place chance at good odds for the punters.
3rd
#2 Assimilate ($6)
Peter & Paul Snowden saddle-up two undefeated three-year-olds in the race and of the duo this improving Sebring colt looks the pick. They took their time getting him to the races with a host of trials before his winning Kembla Grange debut on July 8. Backed up with a 1200m win at Randwick in July and his subsequent trial earlier this month has him ready to go fresh.
