Eugowra Race 9 - Steve Magill Earthmoving Pace
CHAMPAGNE WALSH (1) won at Cowra two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 2160m at Cowra, beaten 3 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. JUDAH RED (4) was 9 metres away in second at Bathurst over 1730m last start at his first run back from a spell. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. TASBMIKI (6) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 2160m at Cowra a week ago. RIVIERE (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw. Include in combinations.

Resuming after three-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind One For The Rodi at Penrith over 1720m on June 25 at $18. First-up record is strong, including two wins, and is expected to be in the finish.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Sr4) over 1700m at Cowra beaten 50 m by She The Devil (2:03.60) on September 13 at $26. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst, beaten 70 m by Ripp (2:00.60) on September 2 at $61. This looks out of his reach.
