Moonee Valley Race 6 - Symal (Bm70)
Tough race. PRIMAL SPIRIT (4) is low flying at the moment. Reece Goodwin has him in fine form and he'll be very hard to catch again. BARBARIC LAD (7) can mix his form but is certainly capable on his day. He hasn't been far away in a pair of BM74's at his past couple and if the pace is on up front, which it should be, he'll be weaving through late. BOLD RESPONSE (10) was good last start at Cranbourne despite being overrun as a $2.35 chance. The run prior behind Heart Of Glass is solid form for this as well. Can figure. DIRTY GRIN (6) is fresh for this but brings King Zephyr form and that should hold up nicely.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by a head at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 April 9 over 1200m defeating Catahoula carrying 62kg at $3.10. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at Pakenham Bm64 on March 27 over 1400m, 0.9 len behind Peel The Stickers with 60kg at $6.50. Takes catching again.

Useful type. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 at Caulfield Bm74 on April 5 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Heart Of Glass with 56.5kg at $8.50. The race before that 5th of 11 at Caulfield Bm74 on March 15 over 1200m, 2 len behind Tatsumaki with 56.5kg at $10. Will be hard to hold out.

Useful type. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at Cranbourne Bm64 on April 18 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Zadar Sunset with 57.5kg at $2.35. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 11 at Caulfield Bm74 on April 5 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Heart Of Glass with 55.5kg at $15. Shaping up nicely and can go on with it.
