Casterton Race 4 - Finns Fine Foods Hwt Hcp (Bm56)

Onto the flat now and HUGHIE (1) looks well placed off two even runs this time in against better company. He was beaten 12 lengths at Warrnambool last time but that was on very heavy going and this looks a lot easier. He'll be hard to run down. SYMPHONITE (4) was fair two back in better company two back at Bendigo but put in a nice effort just finding one better at Mt Gambier last start. She'll get a soft run and should be right there. AMBELLO (3) doesn't win many (just 4/52) but comes back in grade for this and should be competitive. TARTAN QUEEN (6) resumes having made progression towards the end of last campaign. She's got fewer convictions than most of these and can run well fresh. BELMASAI (2) was better second up and is in the mix.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Murtoa Bm62 on July 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Celestial Zara with 56kg at $9. The start before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Cg&E Bm56 on July 7 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Bark with 59.5kg at $9. Drawn well and can figure prominently.
