Esperance Race 8 - Farm & General / Ag & Trade (Bm58+)

MORE LIKELY (4) was far too good over this course and distance last time out, finishing 1.3L off the winner at this track and trip most recently. Back to a BM58+ here sees him only rise 2kg and Faithfull sticks with him. Loves this track and trip and he can repeat the dose. BIONDO (9) is knocking on the door of a drought-breaking win, finishing 2.7L off the winner in a solid performance here last time out. The wide draw is a niggle, but he ticks plenty of boxes on his recent form and he's not to be discounted. MIDNIGHT RUSH (2) gets Wheatley back on board today after dropping right back an unsuitable trip last start. His last run over this track and trip was very good in tougher grade back in January. Can see him turning his recent form right around. TITAN RISING (6) has strong claims getting back out to the mile now. STEPCHILD (5) flew home to score in a CL2 last start and can go on with the job.

Form hard to fault.

The race before that 2nd of 12 at this track Cl2 on February 13 over 1300m, 2 len behind Call Time with 57kg at $21. Flew home to score last start and can't be discounted.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Cl2 on February 20 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Stepchild with 59.5kg at $3.70. The run before that 3rd of 12 at this track Cl2 on February 13 over 1300m, 2 len behind Call Time with 59kg at $3.40. Right on the cusp and should get his chance again.
