Illawarra Grange Race 2 - Illawarra Production Services Mdn Hcp
RAIN DELAY (2) comes from a stable who often target these sort of races in this area with their maidens. He has raced on the speed both times and come in second. Probably pushes forward here and attempts the same procedure. NONNO'S POWER (12) got too far back at Hawkesbury. He could well try to sit much closer here. CAPTAIN PEACOCK (5) was back in journey three weeks ago when resuming but on breeding alone he wants more ground. SMASHING MACHINE (8) has shown enough at the trials to suggest he can make his presence felt on debut.

Having third race start. At debut, 2nd of 10 in a Super 3yo Mdn-Sw at Rosehill on October 14 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Affari carrying 57kg at $5.50.
