Race 1 — Desert Sands Contractors Mdn 1200m · jumps Sat 24 Oct, 5:02 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Laverton for the Desert Sands Contractors Mdn over 1200m on a good track under overcast skies. Punters looking at the win market will find I Am A Rockstar sitting at the head of affairs, closely followed by Inspirational Mac, Willyabrup, and Sambuca Rose. It is a fascinating 3UP MDN SW contest where every runner is hunting that elusive maiden victory, and the yarn heading into the jump at 4:25 pm AEDT is all about who can handle the quick back-ups and find their best form on the day.

Taking a closer look at the form lines for our market leaders, I Am A Rockstar comes in for trainer P R Bamford with Rosie Mahony steering from barrier 5. The stable is firing well above market expectations, and this runner is having its third run in the new stable while backing up quickly from a fifth at Leinster over 1400m. Meanwhile, Inspirational Mac draws nicely in barrier 2 for J H Reynolds and Ava Catarino, coming off a solid second over 1000m at Leinster where it showed the fastest overall finishing sectionals. That recent runner-up effort suggests this horse is primed to give a big sight.

Adding further intrigue to the race, Willyabrup lines up from barrier 3 for Ms M Forrester and Amy Jo Hayes, coming off a brave fourth after leading at Leinster over 1400m and now dropping back to the 1200m trip. With speed maps showing I Am A Rockstar taking up the running from the leader's lane and Inspirational Mac sitting right on the pace, the early tactical battle will be a crucial piece of the puzzle. Punters searching for a bit of value can weigh up whether the on-pace runners will dictate terms or if something from the back can swoop late.

AAP

Backing up quickly. Third run now in new stable/region. Unable to make an impression at Leinster second-up. Well placed to make an impact here.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Started at $4.20 and was nothing special when 5th last start at Leinster. Expecting improvement here. Has early speed and positions nicely. The testing material.

Finished behind Willyabrup over 7f at Leinster (handicap) when beaten 7l in fifth last Saturday; likely to be thereabouts as has bits and pieces of decent form.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. At 10/3 disappointing display when 5th last run at Leinster. Is capable of a resurgence. Will be positive in the run early. Likeable type and a major player.

On a short back-up. Brave in defeat after leading at Leinster. Has speed. Switching to 1200m.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Was $8.00 and weakened under pressure when 4th last time at Leinster and up in weight. Watch early betting.

Recent efforts have generally been solid; gone 25 races without a win; fair effort when beaten just under 2l at Leinster last week in a handicap.

RSIS

On a short back up. Started 7/1 and didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Leinster and has to cope with a weight increase.

On a quick back-up. Found enough to place in small field at Leinster second-up. Secures inside draw in small field. All the better, primed to go one better.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Made considerable ground when 2nd last time at Leinster and has a good draw. Should be going forward early. Attracts support.

Solid effort in defeat to finish runner-up after going off 9-1 over 5f at Leinster (maiden) last Saturday (had two of these rivals behind); has taken a step forward the last twice but still seeking a first success after 11 starts.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 2L last start at Leinster and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be competitive.

Comments

AAP

On a quick back-up. Ordinary performance in small field at Leinster. Rates highly.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Started at $11.00 and tailed off to finish 5th last time at Leinster and has to carry more weight this time. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Finished fifth, beaten 13l, at Leinster over 5f (maiden) dropped back in distance seven days ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; should go close.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Started 10/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Leinster and rising in weight. Will be trying to topple them late.

On a short back-up. Ordinary performance in small field at Leinster. Well into preparation now, only for exotics.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Started $51.00 and got going late when 4th last run at Leinster and has drawn the rails. Gets back and needs luck. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Split Inspirational Mac and Sambuca Rose over 5f at Leinster (maiden) when beaten 12l (fourth of six) a week ago; holds leading claims.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. Odds of 50/1 and improved late to finish 4th last start at Leinster and has the ideal draw. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

Odds correct as at Sat 24 Oct, 5:00 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
