Mandurah Race 5

Fuller Fitness

Stake: $5,763

SURF THE SUN (7) is a talented type who notched his 12th career success when too good (22.24) at this track last time. Solid record here at this trip including 10 wins. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can continue the winning form. BALA ACE (3) was in hot form, winning two on end before colliding in the run last time and finishing sixth in a OPEN at Cannington (22.34). Can do much better this time. SUNSET NIGHTJAR (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Cannington in a handy 21.59 beating Obsessed Much. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SUNSET ALI (2) form at this distance reads well.

Did a good job two starts back at Cannington to win by 1.3 lengths in 21.49, beating Our Benson. Last start finished 4th on May 3 over 381m at Cannington behind Sunset Nightjar beaten 4 lengths (21.86) in a OPEN. Looks a solid hope.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 6th in a OPEN on April 26 over 381m at Cannington behind Sunset Ali beaten 12 lengths (22.34). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths fifth (21.96) at Cannington. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.42. Followed that up with a minor placing over 381m at Cannington at Free For All six days ago. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Solid performance to win by half a length at Cannington over 381m (21.82) beating Farmer Russell in Free For All on May 3. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
