Moruya Race 3 - Harcourts Batemans Bay (Bm66)
GREY SECRET (4) made it back-to-back wins where she flew late to score by 0.2L over the 1650m journey here. She steps out to the 2000m journey for the first time, but it doesn't look an issue off what she's done this campaign. Can sit back in the run and launch a strong attack late. BOMBELLEISTIC (2) couldn't fend off GREY SECRET last start when jumping the race favourite here 11 days ago. Out to 2000m now for the first time, but he draws the inside and should get every chance in the run. Visors replace the blinkers and he can turn the tables. LINE OF FIRE (1) sat on the speed in that same race and was able to dictate the speed, finishing 1.7L off the winner It's been a while between drinks, but he finally gets out to a more suitable trip for him and the claim of Ramsbotham comes in handy. BURGUNDY GIRL (3) is racing well and a win is incoming, though she makes things hard for herself. EVOKES (7) can feature in the finish once again.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at this track Cl3 on January 5 over 1650m, head behind Grey Secret carrying 58.5kg at $2.80. The race before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track Ctry Cl3 on December 21 over 1650m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Pink Lamborghini with 59kg at $3.20. Couldn't fend off Grey Secret last start but jumped favourite and should get every chance again.

Most recently 3rd of 11 at Canberra Bm65 on December 28 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Gatchan carrying 58.5kg at $5. The race before that 10th of 12 at Warwick Farm Bm64 on December 17 over 2200m, 5 len behind Sting In The Tail carrying 54.5kg at $11. Makes it hard for herself but she's racing in top order.

Racing well recently. Most recently won by a head at this track Cl3 January 5 over 1650m defeating Bombelleistic with 55.5kg at $4.20. The start before that won by a long-neck at this track Bm58 December 21 over 1425m on a soft track defeating Lysander with 59kg at $4.20. Well placed. Too strong late last start and can bring up the hat-trick.
