Gloucester Park Race 4 - Taste Of Wa Returning To Gp Ms Pace

MAGNIFICENT STORM NZ (3) drew wide once again last start but produced a strong effort, beaten 2.5 metres into second at this track over 1730m. No excuses from this more advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field, and he can be rewarded for the honest recent runs. LUSAKA NZ (1) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 7 metres over 2130m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. OTIS (2) is worth thought after finishing sixth first-up over 2130m at this track last time out. LITTLE DARLING (4) could only finish seventh over 2130m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Sr1) over 2130m at this track, beaten 7 m by Lusaka (2:32.20) in No NR on July 25 at $7. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Heavenly Gipsy at this track over 2130m in a NR 100 or better on July 18 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.
