Verdict

NOBLE CONNECTION (2) dropped back in grade last start and was too strong, scoring by 0.3L over the 1650m trip here. Pike hops in the saddle now in a good push for his chances and while he is likely to get back in the run, he can run over the top again this time around. ANTIQUE STAR (11) just missed at this track last start, finishing 0.3L off the winner in this grade. Third-up into the campaign now, CJP takes over from the apprentice and she looks ready to strike now. EMERALD TRADER (6) is better than we've seen so far this campaign. Gets a good opportunity to put his best foot forward. MORE THAN ENUFF (9) is in the mix on recent efforts.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up second last of 13 at Bunbury Grad Hcp 60+ on July 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Little Silver with 55.5kg at $8.50. Second-up made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on August 23 over 1650m, slow going neck behind Triple The Chant with 53kg at $17. Blinkers go back on now and she can go one better third-up.

Last start was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at this track 0Mwly September 3 over 1650m in soft going defeating Sketta with 59.5kg at $5. The run before that ran last of 12 at this track Rtg 66+ on August 16 over 2200m, slow going 14 len behind Admired carrying 56kg at $5. Tougher here but he looks well placed on what he produced last time out.
