Avoca Race 7 - Blue Pyrenees Estate Avoca Cup
CHEVALIER DU FAU (7) is resuming from a spell and usually comes to hand quickly. He is set to carry 51kg after a 4kg claim and likes to race near the speed. A recent trial will have him ready to run a big race. The markets could be your best guide to his chances but we think he has a great chance of taking out the Avoca Cup this year. SAMURAI STAR (4) was a beaten favourite last start after settling back further than was expected off a wide gate. He will race a lot handier to the pace this time from a superior draw and should be right in the finish this time. Follow your money. ALMONTI (3) has finished third twice since a good win at Geelong before that. He has more upside than most in this and looks well-placed to figure in the top 3 again. MISS BARILOCHE (6) cannot be faulted for her consistency and will make full use of the pole position. She drops 5.5kg from her last run and has to be respected. Each-way.

At the latest run failed to make an impression; second last of 10 at Mornington Cg&E Bm70 on September 29 over 1600m, 6 len behind Bulawayo carrying 59kg at $11. The run before that won by 0.8 len at Warrnambool Bm64 September 23 over 1700m in soft going defeating Infinity Imperial carrying 60kg at $9. Each way value.

Going well. Last start 2nd of 11 at Ballarat Bm58 on October 3 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Forty Times carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. Before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Hamilton Bm58 on September 16 over 1400m, in the wet; 1.0 len behind State Of Maine carrying 60.5kg at $5. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Mt Gambier Bm70 on October 9 over 2065m, slow going 1.3 len behind Bellakai with 55.5kg at $2.10.
