Shortest win price
Sacred Ingot (5)
2.90
Wangaratta's running a Benchmark 52 handicap over 1400 metres on a Soft 6 track this afternoon at 3:17 pm, and the market's got Sacred Ingot as the punters' pick, with Barrett Reef and Cumbrian Queen next in line. The form here is mixed — there's plenty of runners who've shown they can get close but haven't quite sealed the deal, which sets up a race where fitness and placement through the run could tell the whole yarn.
Sacred Ingot, the shortest in the market, comes to this third-up for a new stable and region after a couple of runs that haven't fired the imagination. The form comment reckons he got well back and only made headway on tired rivals at this track last time, but Cory Parish is booked and he's running 56 per cent above market expectation in his last hundred rides — a jockey in genuine form matters. Barrett Reef has been a leader type but melted under pressure here when stepped up to 1590 metres on a Good 4, and that's worth watching if the pace turns genuine. Cumbrian Queen comes third at the odds and is the standout on form — she was a fighting second at Wodonga on a Good 3 over 1400 metres second-up, and this is her third-up run where the form book says she can get that extra run.
The early pace shapes to be set by Barrett Reef and American Russ in the Leader group, with Cumbrian Queen on pace just behind them. Prince Rupert sits offmidfield and is noted as mapping well at this track, outperforming market expectations by 14 per cent, which is a data point worth considering. On balance, Cumbrian Queen's form line reads like she's peaking at just the right time, and with a rating of 98 she's the profile that makes sense in a race where several have shown hints without delivering.

Led them up but melted under pressure this track. Can lead or take a sit. Shapes as a rough place prospect.
ILB
On a short turnaround. Jumped at $51.00 and tired in the closing stages of the race when 5th last start around here. Should race on the speed. Would rather look at others.
RP
Not beaten that far in fifth (4½l) here over 1m (handicap) when having two of these behind last month; can be in the thick of things if finding his best form.
RSIS
On a short back up. Started at 50/1 and peaked on the run when 5th last start around here. Likely to be well placed early.

Genuine campaigner. Just missed at Echuca 19 Sep. Prominent and stuck to his guns at Manangatang second-up. Rates among the better chances.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at Manangatang. Displays good tactical speed. Respect the betting.
RP
Was on the premises (third, beaten just over 2l) at Manangatang over 6f (handicap) three weeks ago; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back; makes limited appeal as looks more likely to place than win.
RSIS
Showed strength on the pace initially before fading at the end 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at Manangatang. Expecting to settle positively. Watch betting.

Did well when 3rd last run at Alexandra and drawn the rails.

Has not been firing consistently; far from disgraced (beaten just over 1l) over 6f at Balranald (handicap) ten days ago; passed over as a few rivals look in good form.
