Monmouth Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
EVEN UP (5) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. NEELA DA BLUE (10) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Sea Wizard from Forbidden Isle who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Ready to run well despite a tricky draw. CONTROL THE TIME (7) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 8 lengths at the end of 1006m at this track (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so he is among the leading chances. CARELESS NAVIGATOR (9) is appearing for the first time. By Sea Wizard and is out of the Eddie Jr Owens stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 9 at this track on July 5 over 1006m, 16 len behind Sea Devil with 53.5kg at $20.90. Second-up 3rd of 8 at this track on July 31 over 1006m, 9 len behind Time To Groove with 54.5kg at $28.40. Can't recommend him in this.

Jumped at long odds at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on July 31 over 1006m, 8 len behind Time To Groove carrying 54.5kg at $28.70. Can build upon that bright start to his career.
