Cowra Race 7 - Waratah Heat
MAKES YOU WONDER (2) showed great resilience at his latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst when he scored by 2 metres after being on the pace throughout. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. RUNKLE (1) ran tenth last start at Bathurst over 1730m, beaten 30 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. FAKISTRA (4) finished last of 10 last start over 1700m at this track a week ago after having sulky tyre trouble after he had caused a check. This is a nice assignment and he appeals as a solid top-three chance. A LIL BIT OF LOVE (9) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 2160m at this track after having raced outside the leader at the bell.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr5) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 30 m by The Queens Gambit (2:03.70) on September 9 at $61. The run previous 5th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst was 4th-4.96 at the bell, beaten 2.25 m by Hoppalongpog (2:05.60) on August 26 at $3.40. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Bathurst and Parkes. Last start won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Bathurst (2:07.60) beating Sergeant Pee Jay in on August 26 at $9 at the bell was leading 2.85. Draws a little better so no reason he cannot get the job done again.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1740m after showing early pace at Riverina Paceway beaten 2.5 m by Secret Line (2:06.00) on September 4 at $17. Two runs back surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst, beaten 30 m by Ultimate Equus (2:06.10) in 4yo+ on August 28 at $23.
