Rosehill Race 1 - Captivant @ Kia Ora (Bm72)
SPACEBALLS (7) appreciated the step up in distance last start, producing a good figure when the closest of seconds over 1400m at Newcastle. Interested with the timing of the application of blinkers - that move may give her the extra spark to rise to this level. HOPPER (3) settled a long way off the lead before rallying late to finish just 1.2 lengths behind AMUSING here a fortnight ago. Meets that mare 2.5kgs better. Maps nicely just off a hot tempo and will be hard to hold out. AMUSING (5) came with a well-timed run to just arrive in time in a BM72 here at this trip recently. Lightly raced mare who gets up in the weights but can get the job done again with McDonald taking over. BARBRAY (2) was never a factor in the Group 3 Winx Guineas on the Gold Coast last start. Worth another chance back in this company. NARBOLD (4) hasn't won for a long while but her latest effort behind AMUSING had merit. Should race handy and give a good account.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming settled well back; won by 2.5 len at Hawkesbury Prov Cl1 July 3 over 1400m in heavy going defeating Oakfield Echidna with 60kg at $1.45. Second-up eased back early on 7th of 10 at this track 3yo Bm72 on July 19 over 1500m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Amusing with 57kg at $21. Can bounce back.

The start before that 4th of 10 at Randwick 3&4yo Bm72 on June 21 over 1600m, slow going 1.2 len behind Rotagilla carrying 56.5kg at $14. Solid top-three hope.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track 3yo Bm72 on July 19 over 1500m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Amusing carrying 57kg at $7.50. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Canterbury Bm64 on July 9 over 1550m, in the wet; 0.7 len behind Centenario with 61kg at $2.90. Hard to toss if at his best.

Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track 3yo Bm72 July 19 over 1500m in soft going defeating Sister Daae carrying 53.5kg at $8.50. Before that second last of 12 at this track 3yo Bm72 on July 5 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Diddle Dumpling with 54kg at $7.50. Form good for this and looks one of the major hopes.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Newcastle F&M Bm64 on July 15 over 1400m, on a slow track; nose behind Zielle with 59.5kg at $2.25. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on June 21 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Zouripper with 59kg at $2.90. Could be the big improver with blinkers going on.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months favourite; came from midfield and won by a head at Newcastle Mdn-Sw July 15 over 1400m in soft going defeating Skirmish with 57.5kg at $2.80. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Killarney 2yo Mdn Sw on July 15 2024 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Apples And Bananas carrying 60.5kg at $8. Obviously a lot harder but don't underestimate.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Randwick 3&4yo Bm78 on July 12 over 1800m, slow going 7 len behind Aberlour carrying 52kg at $5.50. The run before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Warwick Farm 3&4yo Bm64 on July 2 over 1600m, on rain affected going; nose behind Covert Thinking with 55.5kg at $3.60. Needs to improve.
