Hamilton Race 4 - Ray Sanders Mdn Hwt Plate
FLYING SHELBY (1) found 1200m too short after racing on the speed over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic last start, but the rise in distance will make all the difference here, and he can improve enough to be a big each-way threat in this. WAR NO MORE (5) improved again to finish a solid runner-up effort at Wangaratta 6-days ago and the quick back-up should hold no fears. He is capable of going one better in this. MISS DELIGHTFUL (7) was tried in front for the first time when leading over 2000m at Warrnambool 4 weeks ago before weakening late. She drops back to 1600m, and she is worth each-way consideration. JUST EXPLOSIVE (2) resumes from a lengthy injury spell for a new stable and has had the benefit of 3 tune-up trials this year. While likely to improve with racing, he has the ability to be competitive fresh. Use the market as the best guide. COALESCE (6) did not do much on debut over 1200m a month ago at Ballarat, and has been to jump-outs since then. She is not the worst over 1600m.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 10th of 12 at Casterton Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 1400m, on a wet track; 18 len behind One Bound with 59.5kg at $41. The run before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 8 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Queen Christine carrying 58kg at $151. Others read better. Happy enough to avoid.
