Avondale Race 7 - FUNTIME CATERING MDN 1600M
CHEERFUL SMILE (6) was second over 1600m at Ruakaka two starts ago, and then ran on too late for fifth last time out over 1550m at Cambridge on the poly track. She won't mind being back on a turf surface, and can bounce straight back into the money. MAGEE (2) has been thereabouts recently and was fourth last time over 1600m at Te Aroha nearly 3 weeks ago. He is a very dour type, who will again look likely, but maybe he is destined to never win a race. Place claims again. REGAL WINGS (3) will be peaking third up after a couple of fair runs on the poly this prep. The step up to a mile suits him, and he won't be far away. BONNARD (4) was a sound sixth on debut, and the extra furlong is a plus. Craig Grylls picks up the ride, so don't risk him. SINGE (10) strips fitter second up and can finish a lot closer this time.

Most recently eased back early on 5th of 10 at Cambridge Synthetic on September 24 over 1550m, 7 len behind El Zoro carrying 55kg at $8. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Ruakaka on September 3 over 1600m, slow going head behind Blusweyhooves with 57.5kg at $3.60. Ready to peak after three runs back and is among the leading chances.
