Perth Race 7 - Scone Palace International Horse Trials Nh Flat Race (Conditional/Amateurs) (Gbb Race)
Irish raider GAME SHADOW (4) shaped encouragingly when fourth at Tramore on debut beaten only 3.75L after staying on strongly against older rivals. Since joined John McConnell and sets the standard. DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE (3) was runner-up in a point before finishing 6L third at Uttoxeter on his first rules appearance for Olly Murphy. That experience should help. Main danger. CAPTAIN MAINWARING (1) raced prominently before weakening into fifth at Ludlow for Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies. Makes some appeal. DARK TIDE RISING (2) joins Tom George after three point starts. Improved to finish 8.5L fourth at Necarne latest. Not discounted.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only had one start last when he was ran on from midfield; finished fifth of 8 runners at Ludlow on November 6 over 3200m, 16 len behind Crack Ops carrying 67.5kg at $9. Still likely to struggle despite the size of the field.
