Marble Bar Race 3

Haoma Mining Mdn

Stake: $14,170

BENFIN (2) has improved since racing in the country and was only a nose away from breaking through for his first win at Port Hedland a fortnight ago. He should get the job done this time. DAWN RETREAT (1) ran out of condition when resuming at Carnarvon 7 weeks ago and has the blinkers off for this assignment. He is only lightly tried for a 5-year-old gelding and from a good draw, he can improve sharply. TOPAZ (5) was a beaten favourite fresh up at Broome 3 weeks ago in her first run from the Roy Rogers stable. She has more upside than most and is worth another chance. Follow your money. ZERO DAWN (4) has improved in each of his 2 starts for a new trainer and was less than a length from the winner when runner-up at Port Hedland last time out. He should pick up a win at short notice.

Recent form sound. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Port Hedland Cl1 on June 22 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Quillow with 55kg at $3.80. Before that 4th in a small field at Roebourne Mdn on May 26 over 1103m, 3.5 len behind Dare Me with 56kg at $12. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
