Gosford Race 4 - Skillion Pools Hcp (C1)
ISSY'S STAR (4) returned a strong figure first-up when beaten under a length over today's journey at the Beaumont track. Tired in the final stages when extended to 1300m last time. Nicely in with Stanley's claim and back at 1200m is a serious chance. Honest filly YOU'RE THE CHOICE (8) has been on or about the money all prep. Best rating was two back when beaten a length in a BM64 over this distance at Kembla. Key contender with a repeat of that performance. MISSILE MAGNATE (1) closed late to get up for third when resuming over 1000m at Wyong recently. Has won second-up in the past and another try at today's trip looks timely. FLEET FLYER (3) impressed on debut last start when well supported. Capable of taking this next step.

Dual acceptor. Last start won by 1.1 len at Wyong 3yo Mdn February 21 over 1000m defeating Stubborn Emmelie with 55.5kg at $4.20. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 12 at Warwick Farm Super 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 4 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Journeyman with 55.5kg at $51. Confidence up and she can go on with the job now.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut; favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Wyong 4yo+ Mdn February 26 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Western Lane with 57kg at $2.70. Nicely drawn so another big run is anticipated.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Cl2 on February 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Miss Capitale with 56.5kg at $7. Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 9 at Hawkesbury F&M Bm64 on February 19 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Spaceballs carrying 59kg at $4.80. Yet to miss the frame in three runs at today's trip and should build on that record today.

Last start 5th of 13 at Newcastle Bm64 on February 28 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Via Flaminia carrying 56kg at $4.40. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Kembla Grange F&M Bm64 on February 7 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Chix with 58kg at $4.80. Always about the mark and should be prominent again.
