Orange Race 4 - Coopers Brewery (Bm74)

MERCHANT LADY (5) has found the line well without threatening in her two runs this prep, the latest when third over 1250m at Newcastle. Nicely placed today and the step up in trip looks a good move. Ready to win. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (3) hasn't won for nearly a year but is nicely graded to make an impact today. Struggled in the Queanbeyan Cup last time after a close third in a BM82 over 1300m here the run prior. Definite contender. SEA OF FLAMES (1) disappointed in the Narromine Cup last start. Must be given another chance as he loves racing here, with three wins and a couple of placings from six visits. WESTERN FRONT (8) wasn't far away first-up over 1300m at this track and his second-up form is far better. Track specialist HOW'S IT KEV (4) is down in class and fitter for recent racing. Watch for a much better performance.

Last start eased back early on 8th of 11 at Queanbeyan Cup Bm83 on November 29 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Just Go Bang carrying 56kg at $13. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track Bm82 on November 22 over 1300m, 0.6 len behind Feirme Prince carrying 56.5kg at $7. Capable of sharp improvement.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming got back early 6th of 8 at Wyong Bm64 on November 9 over 1100m, slow going 2.75 len behind Don't Doubt Merlin with 56kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Newcastle Bm64 on November 27 over 1250m, 3 len behind Art Volant carrying 56kg at $4.50. Rates highly. Reaching peak fitness and looks the one to beat.

Most recently 4th in a small field at Dubbo Bm66 on December 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Rubi Air with 59kg at $7.50. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a nose at Wellington Bm66 November 17 over 1000m defeating Sparks with 57kg at $5. Unbeaten here and isn't the worst.

Second run back. First-up after five months eased back early on 6th of 10 at this track Bm82 on November 22 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Feirme Prince carrying 55kg at $51. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Queanbeyan Defencecup on May 19 over 1460m, 3.5 len behind Astunner carrying 55kg at $21. Likely improver.
