Mountaineer Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

PATRIARCHAL (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt). Drifted back on that occasion then quickened impressively to score by 4 lengths. Worth following up. MAGIC MOVER (8) finished sixth at this track (Dirt) over this distance last time out. Has a very good record over today's journey with five wins from eight starts. Bold showing expected. KAKAO (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on August 31 over 1609m when he scored by one length. Winning rider F Garcia retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. SELF TAUGHT (1) is having his first run since winning by 4 lengths six weeks ago over 1710m at this track. Has transferred to the Jami C Poole stable over the break. Solid top-three hope.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track on August 17 over 1710m defeating Ramesses carrying 56kg at $2.40. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on August 2 over 2414m, 4 len behind Boldness with 56kg at $3.10. Nice draw and worth including.
