Orange Race 5 - Rwc Central West Cup Day Showcase Sprint

Small field but an interesting contest. Flying mare IOWNA BENZ (3) has struck form with back-to-back wins over today's trip, the latest in open company at Canberra where she rolled some of today's key rivals. Hoping the change in rider won't upset the momentum. Deserves top billing in a competitive race. AEGIPAN (6) was first-up from an eight-week break when a game fourth to Iowna Merc at Canberra last time, racing three-wide for the trip but only going down by 1.2 lengths. Fitter for that run and should enjoy a bit more luck today. Can turn the tables without surprising. RUMOURS ABOUND (1) led but capitulated over 900m at Albury at her last run a month ago. Subsequent trial winner who is far more effective over today's journey. PANIC (2) hasn't won for two years but did get close in Iowna Merc's race at Canberra recently. Blinkers on for the first time might do the trick. SUTTON VELLA (5) loves the 1000m trip and is a chance first-up from a five-month lay-off.

Last start 8th of 12 at Albury Flat Knacker 94 on March 20 over 900m, slow going 4 len behind Sparring carrying 52.5kg at $6. The race before that led to the turn then faded 7th of 9 at Canterbury 5yo+ Bm72 on February 20 over 1100m, 4 len behind Kimberley Secrets with 58.5kg at $3.50. The winner of five races at 1000m so this is right in her wheelhouse.

Most recently 5th of 8 at Canberra Open on April 3 over 1000m, slow going 1.3 len behind Iowna Benz with 59kg at $4.40. Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Canberra Open on March 8 over 1000m, slow going 1.1 len behind Vella's Best with 55.5kg at $11. Definite winning chance. The application of blinkers for the first time today might be a game changer.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Canberra Open April 3 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Teylu carrying 55.5kg at $4.20. The start before that won by 1.3 len at Wagga Bm66 March 12 over 1000m defeating Judith's Revenge with 60.5kg at $2.30. Showing a great will to win and the hat trick is certainly within reach.

Second-up. First-up after three months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Rosehill Bm72 on April 6 over 1100m, slow going 2.75 len behind Shropshire Lad carrying 52kg at $61. Previously second-up won by a head at Hawkesbury Mid Bm64 September 11 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Cani Cancan carrying 54kg at $3.80. Fitter and 1000m is the optimal trip.

Dual acceptor. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Canberra Open on April 3 over 1000m, slow going 1.2 len behind Iowna Benz carrying 55kg at $31. Before that 6th of 9 at Canberra Bm65 on February 6 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Keadool carrying 60kg at $5.50. Distance specialist who is fitter for that last run and poses a serious threat.
