Race 3 — Tony Sweeney Memorial Super Showcase Mdn Plate 1400m · jumps Fri 16 Oct, 2:20 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Taree for the Tony Sweeney Memorial Super Showcase Mdn Plate over 1400m on a Soft 7 surface under overcast skies. Punting analysis for this maiden affair points to Rupertano holding down the shortest spot in the win market, closely followed by Hellfighter, What A Gent, and Dynamic Diva rounding out the market leaders. It shapes as an intriguing test where early positioning could prove crucial for punters looking to dissect the form lines.

Taking a closer look at the key contenders, Rupertano jumps from barrier 2 for trainer J C Deamer and jockey Shannen Llewellyn, boasting a neat track record here after an excellent debut performance when just nabbed at this venue. Hellfighter lines up from barrier 1 with Coriah Keatings steering for Matthew Kelley, bringing a very fit profile off a prominent runner-up effort at Moruya where they stuck to their guns, and wet-track 1400m form looks encouraging. What A Gent is another seasoned campaigner trained by T J Bartley, ridden by Alysha Collett from barrier 4, coming off a solid run at Dubbo over this distance and a placing at Wyong, while Dynamic Diva for A P Ball and Liberty Smyth catches the eye flashing late for third over 1300m at Newcastle last time out.

On a short back-up. Well back and made some minor headway but passing mainly tired rivals at Port Macquarie. Lacks appeal here.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Came in 7th last start at Port Macquarie but drawn the rails. Might be ridden for luck. Large claim helps.

Attempts to score at the 12th time of asking; fair effort when beaten 5l, finishing seventh of 14 (Port Macquarie) at the weekend in a handicap; this looks a fair heat so makes little appeal; also engaged in race 4 at Taree.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. Came in 7th last time at Port Macquarie but will appreciate a good stall. Might be ridden for luck. Large claim helps.

Competitive type. Prominent and stuck to his guns at Moruya. Wet-track 1400m form is encouraging. Very fit, can play a role.

ILB

Came on strongly to finish 2nd last start at Moruya and has a good draw. Amongst the placegetters multiple times this preparation. Expect a bold effort.

Second at Moruya when 5-6 over 1m (maiden) two weeks ago; has shown some recent improvement and in decent heart at present; makes limited appeal as not in the habit of winning recently; also engaged in race 4 at Taree.

RSIS

Ran home into 2nd last run at Moruya and can find a nice position from the draw. In strong racing shape in recent runs. Strong claims.

Kicks off second campaign (25-weeks). Ordinary in first Vic prep under C Maher. Trained here now and the blinkers come off for return but would need a market push.

ILB

Racing fresh today after a break. Was $13.00 and not up to scratch when 8th last start at Geelong. Interesting gear change of blinkers off first time. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Came home eighth, beaten 7l, over 7½f at Geelong (maiden) in April; first start for trainer; returns from a layoff; could have a say.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Was 12/1 and unimpressive effort when 8th last run at Geelong. Interesting gear change of blinkers off first time. Coming to a new trainer.

Ex R L Heathcote. Trained here now. Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Eagle Farm. Drops to shorter trip. Betting watch advised on stable debut.

ILB

At $17.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at Eagle Farm. Coming to a new trainer. Hasn't broken through maiden grade after 11 starts. Long shot.

Has raised his game the last twice; finished eighth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) at Eagle Farm last month in a handicap; first start for stable; this is competitive and others have more pressing claims.

RSIS

Started at 16/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time at Eagle Farm. First start for a new trainer. Hasn't broken through maiden grade after 11 starts.

Started $101 when battled home in Maiden company in soft going this course. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Odds of $101.00 and picked up some late ground when 4th last start at this track and stepping back up in trip. Still in maiden grade after 17 runs. Will need a big effort to win this.

Not beaten that far over 5f here (maiden) three weeks ago; losing run totals 17; he can be taken on with this looking like a hot contest.

RSIS

At 100/1 made ground when closing off to finish 4th last time around here and stepping back up in distance. Still a maiden after 17 starts.

Never in the call at Muswellbrook first run back. Hard to warm to.

ILB

At $26.00 edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Muswellbrook. Significant improvement required.

Four-race maiden but has managed to finish third; finished fifth, beaten 7l, at Muswellbrook back down to 6½f last week in a handicap; others more appealing.

RSIS

Was 25/1 and crept into 5th last run at Muswellbrook.

Excellent debut performance when just nabbed this venue at $6.50. Has scope. Key player.

ILB

Narrowly beaten last run at the track and having second career run. Expecting to settle positively. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Ran well on his debut in course handicap over 6½f at 11-2 three weeks ago; must now step up.

RSIS

Threw down a serious challenge last time at the track and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Major chance.

Had all before him at turn and went home tamely at Ballina for new trainer. Others with greater appeal.

ILB

Started $71.00 and was making up some late ground when 5th last run at Ballina. Might have to make up considerable ground. Peak required to upset this field.

Beaten just over 5l over 6½f at Ballina (maiden) two weeks ago when failing to flourish in first-time blinkers on debut for this trainer; others are preferred.

RSIS

Started at 70/1 and advanced late into 5th last time at Ballina. Gets back and needs luck.

Placed 4yo+ Midway Mdn Plate at Wyong 4 Sep. Not disgraced at Dubbo over this distance. Placed only other time here. Can make his presence felt.

ILB

Started $3.60 and finished 6th last run at Dubbo. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Been running well of late but patchy form recently; out of the money, beaten 2½l, when sixth in a handicap at Dubbo last month; record suggests he is usually one to take on for win purposes so one to tread carefully with; also engaged in race 4 at Taree.

RSIS

Odds of 13/5 and ran 6th last run at Dubbo. Should be going forward early. Betting is the best guide.

Ridden back and never a factor at Newcastle when second-up. Query wet. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

Sub-standard effort when 7th last start at Newcastle.

Best she's managed so far is fifth from three career starts; beaten 7l in seventh over 6½f at Newcastle (maiden) 13 days ago, behind Dynamic Diva; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Below standard effort when 7th last time at Newcastle.

Shown promise in limited runs. Just missed at Illawarra Grange 17 Sep. Warmed up nicely late at Newcastle when drifting in the betting. Makes a strong case in this company.

ILB

Started $16.00 and crept into 4th last start at Newcastle. Showing good ability this preparation.

RSIS

Started 15/1 and pushed past some when 4th last time at Newcastle. In the top three multiple times recently.

Trials (6:0-0-2). $225k purchase. Out of a half-sister to Listed winner Khan. Well seasoned at the trials before debut. Betting may provide a clearer picture.

ILB

Nathan Doyle 3yo by Zoustar having first race appearance. Blinkers go on for the first time. Ran 5th in a trial at Wyong on Sept 10th. Keep your eye on the market.

Sire capable of getting smart offspring; the only newcomer; from top trainer; leading contender with signs of encouragement in profile.

RSIS

Zoustar 3yo trained by Nathan Doyle having first race appearance. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Has not placed in all trials. Watch early betting.

Back from wide alley, flew late to grab third 3yo+ Super Mdn Plate. Only for exotics.

ILB

Ran home into 3rd beaten by just over 2 1/2L last run at Newcastle. Yet to break through after 8 starts. Questions at this level.

Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; ran well to finish third at 150-1 at Newcastle two weeks ago upped to 6½f; likely to go well as recent performance was encouraging.

RSIS

Kept coming when 3rd beaten by just over 2 1/2L last run at Newcastle. Yet to break through after 8 starts.

A long way off them this course on debut as an outsider. Significantly up in distance for second outing. Must takes a major step forward.

ILB

Jumped at $81.00 and weakened under pressure when 9th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Stepping up in distance. Prefer in an easier race.

Came home ninth over 5f on her debut here (80-1) last month; work to do with Nikody's Casper (fourth) on that effort; likely to be a threat.

RSIS

Was 80/1 and looked outclassed when 9th last time around here but was on debut last time. Interesting to see the tongue strap go on for the first time.

Odds correct as at Fri 16 Oct, 2:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
