Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $4,262

NIZHONI (7) turned in a solid run last start over 525m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 2.25 lengths (30.51). Rates on top in this line up. SPENCER (8) made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (30.69) at this track over 525m. Can feature again. PRINCE PIERRE (6) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.57) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. One of the main contenders. ASTON GAGA (3) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 500m at Bendigo. Draws the cherry but has the job ahead.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 520m at Cannington. That followed a win two back in 29.83 beating Transcendent over 520m at Cannington. Likely to find this too tough.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 600m. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Was out of placings last time (30.57) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 7 length third over 525m at this track, clocking 30.69. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.
