SELECTIONS: LOUGLE (10), ATUA MAGIC (1), ROYAL APPOINTMENT (9), THE NAKED ART (5)
OVERVIEW: LOUGLE (10) is an exciting, progressive pacer who has recently joined the Stephen Clarke stable and tuned up for his first-up assignment with a lovely trial performance at Maryborough recently. There, he cruised to the line to win a slick 54.4sec last half, beating Don Lou who has won in easier grade since. He ran some great races when in the care of Gerard Jamieson last campaign and has a good horse’s record of seven wins from 10 career starts. ATUA MAGIC (1) is another nice type from the Shane Sanderson yard, and he resumed from a long break with an easy front-running triumph across the border at Wagga on August 7. He placed in the Protostar as a two-year-old last season and draws well here. The query is his gate speed and whether he might be crossed at the start, but if he gets the right trip he will be hard to hold out. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (9) had no luck when hemmed away three back the fence in a similar race last weekend and is ready to win one of these 0W/15.0K stake events, while THE NAKED ART (5) was super from the chair when third to Rocknroll Willow at Melton a fortnight ago and all her recent form at Melton is strong.
BACK: LOUGLE (10) – 1 unit (win)
