Gosford Race 7 - Airpack Hcp (C1)
Tough race with many in-form and lightly raced runners converging. POMPATUS (2) goes on top after he ran on stoutly to be beaten a head over 1500m at Kembla last start. Rock hard fit after two runs back and gets to 1600m at the right time of the prep. OUI FLOURISH (6) returned to form last time out when just half a length from the winner in a Class 1 over 1350m at Wyong. Expect they will go forward out to this trip from an inside gate with blinkers on. Sure to give backers a sight. THE WARRIOR (4) was ridden with more intent last start and battled on bravely but just missed over 1350m at Wyong. Cherry ripe after two runs back - whether he can run a strong 1600m is the query. VARJAK (1) strips fitter second-up and holds genuine claims as well off a solid return at Rosehill.

Third-up today. First-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.1 len at Newcastle Super Mdn January 31 over 1500m defeating Sun To Me carrying 58.5kg at $3.10. Second run from a spell 2nd of 8 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on February 24 over 1500m, head behind Sneaky Choice carrying 59kg at $4. Rates highly. Lightly raced three-year-old who is progressing nicely and should lap up the 1600m.

Third-up today. Resuming from last on the turn 5th of 7 at this track Cl1 on February 11 over 1200m, 3 len behind Aligned with 57kg at $31. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Wyong Cl1 on February 26 over 1350m, slow going nose behind Alfred carrying 55kg at $15. Hitting form at the right time and should be peaking fitness-wise now.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at Orange Cl1 on February 9 over 1400m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Twin Gift with 58.5kg at $8.50. Second run from a spell ran last of 8 at Wyong Mid Cl1 on February 26 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Listen Sweetheart carrying 57kg at $31. Fitter but happy enough to avoid.
