Marburg Race 1

Country Labelled Maiden Pace

Stake: $6,696

TACTICAL ILLUSION (3) ran seventh last start at Redcliffe over 1780m, beaten 170 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender in this comparable race. TAKEN BY SURPRISE (5) has been in the placings two times from as many runs this campaign. Went well again last time over 1780m at Redcliffe, finishing second and 5 metres from the winner. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. LANEYS LAST (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1850m at this track last time out. STONES (6) will be rock-hard fit after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a third at Albion Park a week-and-a-half ago.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1850m at this track, beaten 8 m by Longshot (2:20.00) in MAIDEN on July 6 at $4.40. Before that, 4th (Fr2) over 1850m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 10 m by The Post Office (2:19.30) in MAIDEN on June 22 at $6.50. Draws the inside so worth another chance.

Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 55 m by Duke Of Argyll (1:58.80) in 2yo MAIDEN on July 15 at $81. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Ima Ballerina at this track over 1850m in a MAIDEN on July 6 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 10 m finishing third behind Oh Hereshe Comes at Albion Park over 1660m in a MAIDEN on July 16 at $151. Rates highly. Among the contenders.

Lines up again after a break of more than four years. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when fifth unwanted in the market behind Ace Montana. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.
