Queanbeyan Race 8 - Queanbeyan Cup 27 Nov (Bm58)
FRED ASTERN (7) comes through the right local form after winning a Maiden at this track over 1200m, beating Edika by a length and a half when well found in betting. The move into BM58 grade asks more, but he is third-up, drawn barrier one and already has the track-and-trip win on the board. ZEEMA (10) is the main danger on progression, having improved sharply when third in Class 2 company at this venue, beaten just under two lengths after being big odds. She is still winless at the distance, but her recent-form rating and improving campaign profile keep her right in play. SEATON MOON (8) is the lightly raced threat, winning on debut at Taree as a well-supported favourite after having work to do from back in the field. The new 1200m trip is the genuine test, though there is clear upside. SALMA'S STAR (5) resumed with a narrow third at Bathurst in FM Class 1 grade, travelled well and fought on, and her previous win from her only start at this track keeps her in the each-way mix.

Had little room passing the 200m when fifth at Tumut last start, beaten three and a half lengths in picnic company, and now faces a harder meeting. She had also been wide throughout when fourth in Open grade at Bombala, so there are excuses around both recent defeats. Looks tested again.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing eighth in Open grade at Canberra, where she began awkwardly and was beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds. Her prior Nowra win over 1400m on soft ground, beating Tillman by half a length, reads better, and she has won at this distance before. Fitness is the query, but she has place claims if forward enough.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain seventh in Class 3 company at Albury, where she travelled close enough but found little and was beaten just over six lengths. The Nowra second prior had more merit after she was held up around the home turn, and she has won at this track before. Her Nowra second was better, but she has to rebound strongly.

Resumed with an eighth over 1000m at Canberra, beaten just under four lengths after becoming unbalanced on the home turn and failing to finish off. She is much better suited at 1200m, where her record shows two wins and six placings from nine starts, and her Sapphire Coast third before the break came as a well-supported favourite. The fresh run was fair, but improvement puts her in the placings.

Returned with a solid third in FM Class 1 grade at Bathurst, beaten just over half a length after travelling well and fighting on strongly despite jumping awkwardly. That was a clear rebound from her heavy-track Gosford failure before the break, and she has won from her only start at this track. Wide draw is the query, but she is a sound place hope.

Was fourth at Tumut last start, beaten three and a half lengths in picnic company, and now comes to a harder meeting third-up. The Bombala run prior was a heavy defeat in Open grade, beaten over 12 lengths, so he has to turn that recent form around. Unlikely to make an impression.

Broke through impressively at this track last start, winning a 1200m Mdn by a length and a half from Edika after tracking the speed and being near the top of betting. That followed a seventh over 1000m here when he was fitter for the run, and he now peaks third-up from barrier one. Confidence is high and can go on with it now.

Won on debut at Taree over 1000m, starting a well-supported favourite and beating Sweet Marlene by just over half a length after having work to do from back in the field. She now steps from Mdn company into a BM58 and tackles 1200m for the first time, so there is a genuine new challenge. Solid debut winner and has the upside to go on with it.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fourth in Class 1 company at this track, beaten two lengths at long odds while picking up nicely from well back. He had also been unwanted in the market when fourth here over 900m, and his 1200m record is the main concern with no placings from previous attempts. Honest at this venue, but the 1200m record keeps him a place-at-best hope.

Improved sharply when third in Class 2 grade at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths on soft ground at long odds. That was a clear step forward from her Moruya sixth in Class 1 company, and she now reaches the fourth run of the campaign with strong recent-form ratings. Fourth-up profile gives her a strong winning chance.
