Fairview Race 3 - Tickets At Howler For The Betway Summer Cup Open Mdn
LUCA DA WHEELS (4) gets the nod on the strength of a solid 2000m fourth at Fairview, where he was beaten three lengths as a firming favourite, and he has already placed at around this distance. The recent maiden record is not flawless, but his profile at 2200m gives him a sound platform. SCOTT'S BAR (2) looks the main danger after progressing to a Greyville Aw third over 1800m, and the step to this distance is the key test rather than a reason to dismiss him. TARANAKI NOMAD (7) was well found in that same Greyville Aw race but finished behind SCOTT'S BAR, so he has to turn that form around while still being respected with weight relief. GIMMEAGAMBLE (5) improved into fourth at this track last start after being unwanted in betting, and with class relief and less weight he has enough upside to press for a placing if the 2200m suits.

Has put together two seconds over 2000m, most recently beaten half a length by Secret Eruption at this track after being near the top of an open market but easing. The run prior at Fairview was also sound when beaten just over a length by Dead Poets Society. He has placed at around 2200m before and the class drop helps, though top weight and an 11-start maiden record temper the winning push.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a useful third over 1800m at Greyville Aw, beaten five and a half lengths by Sutter's Mill when again close enough in the market. That followed a fifth at Scottsville, so he is trending the right way through this campaign. The 2200m is new ground, but he has already placed on synthetic and looks a strong winning chance if he sees it out.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth in a small field at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Madra Rua. His better recent effort was the start prior when second over 1400m at this venue, but the profile remains limited with no win from 21 starts. First try at around 2200m asks plenty, and he will have to improve sharply.

Returns from a two-month break with the right staying base after a Fairview fourth over 2000m, beaten three lengths by Dead Poets Society as the firming favourite. He had earlier run fourth in a MPLATE at this track and has placed at around 2200m, so the trip is a genuine positive. Capranica has a recent edge over him, but his overall setup still makes him the one to beat.

Worked into a better race when fourth in a MPLTE over 1600m at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Seattle Glow despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear improvement on his heavy Kenilworth defeat two back. Class relief and weight relief are positives, although 2200m is untried and his overall record still points more to place claims than a firm win case.

Comes here third-up after a plain ninth in a MPLTE over 1600m at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Scented Path at big odds. His previous sixth at this venue was better but still short of what is required, and he remains a maiden from 15 starts. The class drop helps in theory, but the first attempt at 2200m comes off modest recent form.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth over 1800m at Greyville Aw, beaten just under eight lengths by Sutter's Mill despite being well-supported near the top of betting. He finished behind Scott's Bar there and was seventh at Scottsville the run prior. Weight relief is in his favour, but as an unplaced three-start maiden trying 2200m, he profiles as a place hope with improvement to come.
