RACE THREE

MR FAVULOUS (Donald Baker) 6g By Falvelon - Miss Glamour Puss (52:10-10-9): Tried hard and beat the rest easily sht hd 2nd (54.5) Living On A Prayer 1200m D’ben Open heavy trk Aug 23. Stuck to his guns 3⁄ len, nk 3rd (54.0) Adebisi, Living On A Prayer

4 1110m D’ben Open Sept 6. Turned in another gutsy effort last week. Starting to pay for his consistency by creeping up in the weights. Steps out of his comfort zone at this trip but will be in it for a long way.

TURNITUP (L J Mayfield-Smith) 7g By Dane Shadow - No Finding (32:4-10-5): Went amiss and left Moody stable after 111⁄

4 len last (56.5) Alma’s Fury 1600m D’ben Bernborough Hcp Dec 29 (2012). Did nothing when resuming 111⁄ len last (56.0) Jetset

4 Lad 1350m D’ben Open dead trk Aug 30. Bit ring rusty first up and will strip a lot fitter for this assignment but would prefer to see him show something.

STAR SAMMY (L J Mayfield-Smith) 5g By Sammy Sequalo - Montesantos Star (17:6-5-1): Given let-up after 3 len 6th (59.0) Chalupa 1200m E Farm C6 Plt July 5. Fought on well 11⁄ len 2nd

4 (59.0) You Did What 1200m D’ben E&G C6 dead trk Aug 30. Showed plenty of ticker with huge weight after a let-up and gets some weight relief here. Likes this track. One of the key chances.

JEFFERSON PARK (C K Martin) 5g By Dream Ballad - Tacoma (23:9-2-4): Held on fairly after leading sht hd, 4 len 3rd (54.0) Living On A Prayer, Mr Favulous 1200m D’ben Open heavy trk Aug 23. Never travelling well 41⁄ len 9th (56.0) Lyric 1200m D’ben

4 E&G Rst1 Sept 6. Checked first turn last week and seemed to lose rhythm from that point, subsequently pulling up lame in off foreleg. Take on trust.

EQUISSENTIAL (N O Saunders) 7g By Jet Spur - Belle Of The Ball (68:9-8-5): Bit unlucky 11⁄ len 5th (57.5) Gaelstorm 1400m

4 Gatton (Bm80) Aug 10. Gutsy sht hd win (59.0) Extreme Mover, Outback Pride 1625m Toowoomba (Bm80) slow trk Aug 23. Fought back bravely under huge weight on his home track last time. Plummets 7.5kg but shorter trip doesn’t look ideal. Prefer others.

JOPA (R L Heathcote) 7g By Tycoon Ruler - Safety Pins (43:6-8-7): Ran on fairly 33⁄ len 4th (54.0) Phelan Ready 1400m E

4 Farm Open Aug 2. Ran home strongly 1⁄ nk win (54.5) Flamboyer,

2 Scarborough 1350m D’ben E&G C6 heavy trk Aug 23. Back to his best last time and once he strikes form he generally holds it. Has an excellent record this circuit and should have it run to suit. Rates highly.

PLATINUM STATE (B R Guy) 5g By Falvelon - Stately Command (29:6-3-3): Softened up most of way and felt the pinch late 31⁄ len 7th (56.0) Venture On 1400m E Farm E&G C6 Aug 9.

2 Ran home well 11⁄ len, len 3rd (54.0) You Did What, Star Sammy

4 1200m D’ben E&G C6 dead trk Aug 30. Lost momentum at a vital stage in the straight last time but kept trying. Pulled up a bit ordinary afterwards but can’t be ignored here.

JACK’S BACK (K R Kemp) 6g By Greenwood Lake - Tee Hannah (31:8-5-1): Did too much work from wide gate 71⁄ len 13th

2 (56.0) Romanarma 1300m E Farm E&G Rst0 Aug 2. Went down narrowly 1⁄ hd 2nd (59.0) Modern Al 1400m Dalby Cup Aug 30. 2 Only nailed in last the last stride with huge weight last time and drops 5kg here. Record this track is poor but should give plenty of cheek from gate one with Fradd aboard.

DEL PALIO (G R Duncan) 7g By Invincible Spirit - Palaris (27:5-0-6): Only managed 51⁄ len 9th (57.5) You Did What 1200m

2 E Farm C6 Plt Aug 20. Didn’t do much 61⁄ len 11th (55.5) You Did

2 What 1200m D’ben E&G C6 dead trk Aug 30. Not the most reliable sprinter and hasn’t won for nearly 18 months. Wide gate another drawback. Others have more to recommend.

CHAMANDI (R Litton) 6g By Lonhro - Coconut (29:5-3-2): Caught wide and felt the pinch 6 len 7th (56.0) Tambo’s Jewel 1400m Sunshine Coast (Bm75) dead trk Mar 21. Resumed with moderate 43⁄ len 6th (59.0) Confident Star 1200m Gold Coast

4 (Bm75) dead trk Aug 31. Too much weight first up and probably needed the run. Normally improves second up but might find this a bit tough.

REGALMANIA (Ms K Purdy) 8g By Regal Shot - Manitaeha (32:6-4-2): Given let-up and sent north after 151⁄ len 9th (57.5)

2 Royal Island 1300m Bendigo (Bm78) heavy trk July 9. Nothing went right 101⁄ len last (57.5) Confident Star 1200m Gold Coast

2 (Bm75) dead trk Aug 31. Missed the start then nearly fell and was trapped wide at the Coast which contributed to his poor run. Last win was more than a year ago and getting on in years. Not keen.
