Kembla Grange Race 1 - The Gong Spring Carnival Super Mdn Plate
We kick off the new racing season and ZELJKO (8) looks a good way to start the card. She's placed in all four runs to date including three this time in, beaten 1.5 lengths over this route last time out in what looked a deeper maiden. Sets up nicely from the inside draw and should go close. HOT LUCI (7) made good improvement second up jumping sharply in trip, giving a sight at Wyong over this trip. She should be fitter now and will take plenty of catching with Hyeronimus booked. LE CHOCOLAT (2) has been solid in two runs back from a spell, not far away in a dash home at Newcastle second up. Ready to peak now getting to a mile. POUR BENN (4) is a gelding by Ace High on debut who kicks off at a good trip. His latest trial was solid and he can run well. FAYE RUNAWAY (6) wasn't far away fresh and has claims.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track Super Mdn-Sw on July 17 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Mama Joy carrying 57kg at $3.80. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on July 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Aloysius with 57kg at $7. Close to a win. Rates as the horse to beat.
