Ilfracombe Race 5 - Open Hcp
HEYINGTON STATION (2) was an impressive 3.5 lengths winner over 1200m at Winton last time. Getting up in the weights now. Tessa Townsend retains the ride and there is no reason he cannot make it back-to-back victories. ENABLER (7) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 6 lengths away in ninth over 1200m at Barcaldine. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. I AM GOOD AT THIS (6) was in the money two starts back at Mckinlay but was unable to repeat the effort last time when tenth, beaten 23 lengths, at Alpha over 1700m. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. BURDEKIN (5) ran below expectations last time out when sixth over 1700m at Alpha. Sure to do much better.
