Kununurra Race 5 - Doug Oliver And Steve Woodhead Memorial (Bm48+)
THANK GOD I GOTHIM (1) has been in excellent form. Consistently finding the line, he got a much deserved win last week. Winning out of maiden class was a good effort. Is going better than most here. LEAN ON ME (2) does get back in her races which isn't a help often but did run home recently. She can do that again. DANCER FOR MONEY (3) showed good improvement seven days ago. That proved this is her best sort of journey. CHERRY STEM (5) changed her racing style and led at big odds. She only went under by a head. WICKED ONE (4) does have to do more. But two runs back was decent enough for this area.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by a head at this track Rtg 48+ August 23 over 1100m defeating Cherry Stem with 60kg at $4.20. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Darwin Mdn-Sw on July 30 over 1300m, head behind No I'm Not carrying 59kg at $6. Looks suitably placed here and can go on with it now.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track Rtg 48+ on August 23 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Thank God I Gothim carrying 56kg at $6. The run before that second last of 8 at Darwin 0 - 66 on August 4 over 1100m, 7 len behind Kissing Supido carrying 54kg at $51. Drawn well but still expect he will struggle.
