Emerald Race 3 - Cmf Rural & Industrial Hcp

Small field but several chances. NEW LEVEL (5) has been no match for ZIPITALIST last two but like him back to the mile and the winning, senior rider goes back aboard. Still better off at the weights and last time he was here he just missed in a similar race. Gets chance to atone. Hard to line up JUNE (2). No match in the rich Mackay Cup last time but was a BM78 winner at Eagle Farm the start prior. The rating from that win tops these. Much more weight here but hard to beat on best. TAPA KICK (6) was disappointing in tougher company last time but was a winner in a similar race to this the start prior. Can bounce back. ACEDROD (4) was a big winner last time at Blackall and will take catching in the small line-up. Then there's ZIPITALIST (1), who has won three of last four. Only query is having first try at the mile.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by 3 len at Middlemount on July 25 over 1475m defeating Cash Artist with 53.5kg at $3.50.

At the latest run ran second last of 14 in the Mackay Cup Qlty on July 25 over 2000m, 8 len behind Journalism with 54kg at $41. The run before that won by a head at Eagle Farm on July 1 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating High Dandy carrying 53.5kg at $3.10. Huge class drop and did win at Eagle Farm the start prior so should go close this level.

Last start ran last in a small field at Rockhampton on July 21 over 1600m, 6 len behind Settat with 60kg at $18. The race before that won by 1.0 len at Barcaldine on July 6 over 1600m defeating Desert Star carrying 63.5kg at $11. Honest record this trip and well worth another try.
