Penola Race 5 - 36° South Coonawarra Vignerons Cup (Heat 2 Limestone Coast Cup Series) (Bm74)
IMPOSING SUSPECT (3) never came into it last start after settling too far back behind MAGNETIC EDGE at Gawler, but his prior form reads strongly and he's far better suited if Crowther can have him closer in the run. Meets the winner better at the weights and is capable of turning the tables. YURI ROYALE (1) also comes through that race and remains a stalwart of the SA staying scene. Draws well for Milnes, who knows him well, and he'll be in this for a long way. MAGNETIC EDGE (4) had their measure last time with something up his sleeve, scoring at big odds. Carries more weight now but deserves far more respect and must be taken seriously. LONGER ROUTE (6) has mixed his form this prep but his peaks stack right up for this level. Major player if he turns up on song. CHAIRMAN (5) backs up quickly after a below-par run at Warrnambool, but he's much better than that and a sharp rebound wouldn't surprise.

At the latest run 6th of 12 at Gawler Bm72 on January 3 over 2107m, 2.75 len behind Magnetic Edge carrying 57.5kg at $21. The race before that second last of 7 at Morphettville Bm76 on December 27 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Komachi with 56.5kg at $16. Not far away last time. One of the better chances.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Last start second last of 10 at Bordertown Bord Cup Bm 74 on December 14 over 2000m, 8 len behind Vega Magnifico with 59kg at $14. The start before that 8th of 11 at Morphettville Bm70 on November 22 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Oxford Blue with 61.5kg at $26. Doubt he will threaten these.

Last start didn't finish the race at Warrnambool Bm62 December 31 over 1700m. The race before that 3rd of 8 at Mt Gambier Bm66 on December 21 over 1800m, slow going 0.9 len behind Four Outlaws with 55kg at $2.90. Better than that last effort and should make his presence felt.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at Swan Hill Bm56 September 28 over 2400m, 9 len behind Flashlight carrying 62.5kg at $11. Previously first up; tenth of 14 at Bendigo Bm64 July 13 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Spylark with 61kg at $71. Hard to recommend at this stage.
