KEMBLA GRANGE PREVIEW with Chris Scholtz – November 23

RACE 4 (7) LEFT FIELD: Hawkesbury-trained mare is good value returning to her own sex after a strong return in a stronger BM78 over 1100m at Rosehill, doing her best work late to finish fifth after a slow start. Stakes placed last season, she’s been to Kembla Grange twice for two placings and with improved fitness she is going to appreciate a fast run 1200m on this big track.

RACE 6 (13) BLAZING HARRY: Rising quickly in class is always a leap of faith but this promising 4YO confirmed that he is heading for better things when he easily carried 61.5kg to put away a BM64 field over 1300m at Randwick on November 5 when having his first Sydney start. Really got into his work over the last 100m and the Price/Kent partnership have him well placed to go on with it as he should relish stepping up to 1400m with a handy 5.5kg drop in weight.

RACE 8 (12) WATERFORD: If this often luckless 6YO gets the right breaks he’ll go very close in this wide open million dollar event. Excellent first-up third behind Here To Shock and Gringotts (meets him 3kg better here) in a classy Alan Brown Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill before his last start in the Little Dance over 1600m at Randwick on November 5 that was a total forgive as he lost his momentum when held up at the 300m and could not recover under 62kg. With 6.5kg less and the reinstatement of blinkers he has all the elements to run to his best.

RACE 1: (17) SUNCHYME – Fitter for her Rosehill placing when she was held up. Drawn to get every chance.

RACE 2: (12) MONTE SUPREME – Should have won at least two of his four starts this prep. Can’t desert him back on his home track.

RACE 3: (4) PISANELLO – Can’t fault him since resuming. Well placed to make it three straight.

RACE 5: (7) MODESTY – Tough 1800m win in this class when second up. Can only get better of that performance.

RACE 7: (14) CHICA MOJITO – Found 1400m too short when back in trip last time. Will run this right out with a handy drop in weight.

RACE 9: (3) HEDGED – Class sprinter set for this first-up off two good trials.

RACE 10: (9) STARMAN – Long time since he’s had the benefit of an allowance in this class. Rates to win on best efforts.
