Esperance Race 3 - Midland Brick (Bm70+)
EEVALINA (5) has been racing in good company recently, going under narrowly in a $100k race last time out and has been transferred to the Paul Tapper yard now. She gets into this right down in the weights and the map looks good for her from the draw. Can end her winning drought. PADDY'S FLYIN' (3) got the job done in this grade two back before a 3L defeat last time out at this track and trip. He drops in weight today as he steps back up to the 70+ grade, with this looking a perfect set up for him. Can bounce back. HILTON (2) went through last campaign undefeated and kick-started his preparation under similar circumstances to this. Nicely weighted after the claim and he can pick up from where he left off. WILD IMAGINATION (1) just missed over 1200m last time out and now gets the senior hoop on board. Can be in the finish again. RUPERT'S EMPIRE (4) is better than we've seen his past couple and can improve now with a better draw.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track Rtg 64+ on November 22 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Dothraki carrying 58.5kg at $4.60. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Albany Rtg 70+ November 2 over 1000m defeating The Spruiker with 54kg at $4.40. Right in this on recent efforts.
