Kembla Grange Race 1

The Gong Spring Carnival Mdn Hcp

Stake: $45,360

SPIRITUALISTIC (4) raced above market expectations on debut last start at Nowra, battling on well for a close second over 1200m. Kept fresh since that run and can be expected to improve coming into this. COMMANDING BELLE (6) did her best work late to get up for third when resuming over 1000m here recently. Sure to be tough to hold out over this more suitable journey. Recent trial placegetter MORE CASH (2) is back from a five-month break for local mentor Mitch Beer. Should be thereabouts. AURA (5) was easily accounted for on a heavy deck first-up at Newcastle but can do better on top of the ground. ZOUSTRONG (3) can improve on a modest debut at Moruya.

Second-up. First start 3rd in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Mdn-Sw on February 10 over 1150m, slow going 4 len behind Magical Elegance carrying 57kg at $3.30. Returned from break second last in a small field at Newcastle Super Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Sound Banker carrying 57kg at $7.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 12 at Hawkesbury 2yo Mdn on July 3 over 1000m, in the wet; 7 len behind Gambler with 53kg at $201. Draws the inside barrier but still looking elsewhere.
