Casterton Race 7 - Vale Alan Upton Hwt Hcp (Bm56)
SMOKIN' ROHIE (5) is racing consistently, albeit finding it very tough to win. He was sound enough at Swan Hill last time in a BM62 having placed in four runs prior, all in slightly tougher company than he finds here. Luca Remondet has never missed a place on him and is the only jockey to win, expect he's hard to hold out. DIGARI (2) was okay in the market at Murtoa. The run two back at Hamilton is good enough to figure prominently here. OCTAHEDRON (4) is the only last start winner in the field off a victory at Hamilton over 2200m. Doubt he has to do any more to notch up a double here. TUDAYA (6) was too bad to be true at Murtoa last time, form prior has him in the mix. HIGH CLASS ROLLER (7) ran well enough fresh and should improve up in trip.

Last start 5th of 9 at Hamilton 0 - 56 on August 1 over 1600m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Vision Thing carrying 60kg at $9.50. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Coleraine Mdn-Hwgt July 19 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Gasoline Rainbow carrying 69.5kg at $4.40. Worth some thought.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Hamilton 0 - 56 August 1 over 2200m in the wet defeating Irlandais carrying 54kg at $3.90. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Coleraine Bm56 Hwgt on July 19 over 2250m, slow going 3 len behind Sadlers Symphony with 67kg at $21. Should take holding out again.
