Canterbury Race 2 - Tropicus @ Vinery Stud (Bm64)
NAMASTE (1) gave away a big start on the bend then closed in good style to be beaten under two lengths over 1500m at Kembla last start. Competitive in Sydney Saturday company last prep so this type of race is well within reach. Blinkers back on a strong sign from the Baker camp that he is ready to fire. THREE ARROWS (2) continues to race well deep into his prep. Travelled handy then boxed on well for a close second over 1400m at the Illawarra circuit last Thursday. Big chance over the extra 150m today. BLENHEIM GIRL (6) heads a strong Waller contingent. Came with a sustained run to get the cash first-up over 1200m here a fortnight ago. Lightly raced mare with more to offer getting out in distance. VIVA MAURICIO (5) failed on a heavy track at Rosehill recently after a strong first-up win at Hawkesbury. Can bounce back on firmer footing. GLISSANDO (7) dominated at Kembla last start at just her second appearance. Must be respected with J Mac in the irons.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 9 at Rosehill 3&4yo Bm72 on June 27 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Tarzing with 56kg at $41. Second run from a spell from last on the turn 6th of 8 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on July 25 over 1500m, 2 len behind So Rebellious with 61.5kg at $1.90. Rates highly. Progressing nicely and the blinkers back on might be the key.

Most recently ran last of 9 at Rosehill 3&4yo Bm72 on August 1 over 1500m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Funshow with 54kg at $26. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.2 len at Warwick Farm Super Mdn July 15 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Claudel with 54kg at $2.10. Disappointing last time but can bounce back on the four-day back-up.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming won by a neck at Hawkesbury Super Mdn-Sw July 2 over 1300m on a soft track defeating Saloon Passage with 59kg at $4.80. Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Rosehill 3yo Bm72 on July 18 over 1500m, on heavy track; 10 len behind Arapawa with 54kg at $4.40. Worth another chance on better ground today.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by a long-neck at this track F&M Bm64 July 22 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating You're The Choice with 57kg at $5.50. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.2 len at Gold Coast Mdn-Sw December 27 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Peak Miss carrying 55kg at $4. Promising mare - no reason she cannot get the job done again.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 9th of 11 at Wyong Super Mdn on July 4 over 1350m, slow going 13 len behind Flying Artisam carrying 58kg at $8.50. Second-up favourite; came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.9 len at Wyong Mdn July 23 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Kowloon Magnate with 58kg at $2.15. Much tougher assignment today and looks outclassed.
