Manangatang Race 3 - Ultima Hotel (Bm56)

PLAY ON WORDS (5) ran a big race on speed last time when fourth over a mile at Tatura. This is easier and off the low draw will take catching this circuit. ESKIMO (1) was safely held in tougher company last time. The start prior was an on speed winner in similar grade to this. Has a big weight but has the rails draw and will take catching. THE BANTAM (3) was solid in richer company last time and the start prior good at Tatura in this class. Nicely placed here and gets a chance to atone. SURELY SPECIAL (6) ran a big race at odds last time over 1600m at Swan Hill when runner-up. Low draw and will give a sight again.

At the latest run faded in the straight ran last of 8 at Geelong 0 - 62 on September 25 over 1540m, 8 len behind Barbie'sdreamworld carrying 60kg at $8. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Tatura Bm56 September 8 over 1600m defeating Love Sparkles carrying 61kg at $2.25. This easier and looks hard to beat on his best form.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Swan Hill Bm62 on September 28 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Our Lone Star carrying 57.5kg at $26. Before that second last of 12 at Hamilton Bm56 on September 15 over 1400m, slow going 10 len behind Dubai Dancer carrying 61kg at $26. Not far away of late. Gave a sight last time and off the low draw should run well again.
