Gowran Park Race 2 - Thomastown Maiden
KALIR (8) wears cheekpieces for the first time having only managed to finish third on his all-weather debut three and a half weeks ago. Interesting racing for a stable who have started the season quietly. WESTERN BANDIT (3) sees connections reaching for a first time tongue strap. Made eye catching progress at Limerick last time out and will find things easier in handicaps after this however is still worth considering. LOCH GAMHNA (10) ran in two nice maidens as a two year old. Disappointing both starts at three so far and more is needed here but worth giving another chance. STELLAR VIEW (15) will be better in handicaps and is one to note.

Second run back. First-up after five months 13th of 15 at Bellewstown on April 11 over 2313m, slow going 42 len behind Tim Toe with 61kg at $101. Previously second-up 4th of 13 at Sligo on May 13 over 3621m, 18 len behind Kamino Bello carrying 70kg at $1.90. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Third race start. First start 5th of 13 at Navan on October 8 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Sugar Goodson with 60.5kg at $11. Went for a spell before returning 10th of 13 at Navan on March 30 over 2011m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Sir Benji with 61kg at $2.60. Will benefit from that run and can measure up in this line up.
