Newmarket Race 6 - Boodles Hcp
AMORIM (1) showed promise in every start this term improving from his first-up effort to finish a solid third at Windsor over 1200m last time. Climb in distance looks ideal and shapes as the one to beat. MARENGO STORM (2) continues to race in excellent form. Won at Kempton Park before following up with a strong second at Windsor by 1.3L. May secure a favourable position just behind the speed and rates the chief danger. HARDY'S HERO (3) has been knocking on the door with back-to-back placings including most recently finishing second at Lingfield trying 1400m. Well placed once again and looks certain to be competitive.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 14 at Windsor on May 23 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Bintola with 61kg at $3.30. Before that favourite; won by 2.75 len at Kempton Park All Weather May 4 over 1200m defeating Sargent Dennis carrying 60kg at $2.10. One of the better chances.
