Sale Race 11

Ed Fountain Removals

Stake: $3,481

SOMERTON MICK (6) could not have been more impressive last start in his decent 24.46 win at this track in a Grade 5 over 435m. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. XISAN BALE (1) was well off top last time, finishing 5th (22.83) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has never been out of the money this course and distance including one win. Comes through a solid form race last start. Shapes as one to consider. GO STEVIE (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (25.07) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DR. COUGAR (2) was in the money last time at this track (25.01) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length third. Has already won two times from this draw.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have good record over this track and distance. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (25.07) when seventh over 435m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from 10 starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
