Pakenham Race 4 - Designer Coolrooms (Bm70)
THE WESTERN FRONT (4) is a lightly raced 5yo gelding who resumed with a very good run at Flemington, getting back as is his usual pattern but running on very strongly into a narrow fourth. He's always promised good ability and will take plenty of holding out with the added fitness. OTAGO (1) was just fair in the same race at Flemington having been building okay in three runs prior. His best is absolutely good enough if he can find it. MOMETZ (6) similarly comes through the Flemington lead up, okay in sixth there. He can improve. BLUSHING TYCOON (7) should be fitter third up and could take catching. LITTLE COINTREAU (3) could sneak into the first four.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Flemington Bm70 on January 10 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Midnite Storm carrying 59kg at $6.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Cranbourne Bm78 on December 27 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Welcometotheshow with 57kg at $7. Suited here and should take beating.
