Gosford Race 2 - Ortus Financial Hcp
The Ryan/Alexiou stable hasn't dodged the tough races with SEQUISTA (1) to date. Ran on powerfully for third on debut in the Inglis Nursery in December. Next appeared four weeks ago when she led the Percy Sykes field for home then held on well to be beaten just over two lengths by the classy Tempted. Looks very tough to beat in this inferior field. CHICAMA (7) returned from a five-month spell with a decent third over 1100m at Hawkesbury after missing the kick. Won a subsequent trial so expect his manners have been sorted out. Sure to give a sight. TIBERIUS (5) overcame adversity to record a narrow win on debut at Wyong recently. Tougher assignment this time but should be competitive. BEECHWORTH (10) made good progress to fill a minor placing at Canterbury last time. Top three chance at a juicy price. KILMAN (2) off an eight-week let-up is not out of contention.

Third race start. Promising on debut 3rd of 14 at Randwick in the LR Nursery on December 14 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Within The Law carrying 54kg at $9. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 12 at Randwick in the G2 Percysykes on April 12 over 1200m, 2 len behind Tempted with 54kg at $13. Fitter and looks a class above these.

Getting off the mark on debut; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Wyong Mdn April 17 over 1000m in soft going defeating Apollo Ridge with 56kg at $2.60. Since finished fifth in a Randwick trial over 1050m on May 5. Sure to prove tough to beat again.

At debut, 2nd of 8 at Canterbury 2&3yo Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1250m, 2.75 len behind Mia Ballerina with 56kg at $17. Each-way chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.

On debut. Three-year-old colt by Frankel out of Edith Piaf. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 793m at Warwick Farm April 29. Tough assignment at first outing and tempted to favour others.

Having third race start. At debut, 6th of 9 at Warwick Farm 2yo F Mdn on April 16 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Perle De Chocolat carrying 57kg at $7. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Canterbury 2&3yo Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Big Red Tequila with 54kg at $2. Further improvement likely - worth including in exotics.
