Curyo Gentleman has been terrific in two runs back from a spell despite awkward draws, doing plenty of work yet hitting the line strongly. From a much kinder marble, he can press forward, control, and with extra fitness on his side, looks the one they\u2019ll need to get past.<\/p>\n
BACK: 2 Curyo Gentleman \u2013 3 Units (win) <\/p>\n
R2 \u2013 6:20pm \u2013 Logical Staffing Solutions 3yo Graduate \u2013 2240m\u00a0 <\/p>\n

R3 \u2013 6:55pm \u2013 Hygain Victory Pace \u2013 2240m\u00a0 <\/p>\n
3 \u2013 Thestatesman<\/p>\n
8 \u2013 Surfingmakescents<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Perun<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 Frugal Fare<\/p>\n
Thestatesman finally draws a gate after a run of horror barriers \u2014 he\u2019s only drawn the front line three times in 12 runs this season. He\u2019s been going well in defeat, and if the race shape works in his favour, he\u2019s a live chance to strike at odds.<\/p>\n
BACK: 3 Thestatesman \u2013 1 Unit (win) <\/p>\n
R4 \u2013 7:27pm \u2013 Logical Staffing Solutions Tatlow Stakes (2yo C&G) \u2013 2240m\u00a0 <\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Remus Phoenix<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Gotfeelingsyouknow<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Keayang Gucci<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 Little Yankee<\/p>\n
R6 \u2013 8:30pm \u2013 Hip Pocket Castlemaine Free For All \u2013 1720m\u00a0 <\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Triple Eight<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 Keayang Tokyo<\/p>\n
3 \u2013 Operative Line<\/p>\n
5 \u2013 Western Sonador<\/p>\n
Triple Eight finds himself in a winnable FFA on the ratings scale despite the tricky draw. He\u2019s best saved for one run at a genuine tempo, and if Keayang Tokyo is forced to work, Triple Eight is the one to come charging over the top.<\/p>\n
BACK: 7 Triple Eight \u2013 1 Unit (win) <\/p>\n
R7 \u2013 9:05pm \u2013 Hertz Melton Pace \u2013 1720m\u00a0 <\/p>\n
3 \u2013 Stormryder<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Clymenus<\/p>\n
5 \u2013 Roadmaster<\/p>\n
8 \u2013 Mitzi Said<\/p>\n
Stormryder looks ready to explode third-up from a draw that should allow him to roll forward and dictate. His two runs back have been full of merit, both times working hard, and with this set-up he can remind us why he was considered among the best of his crop.<\/p>\n
BACK: 3 Stormryder \u2013 3 Units (win) <\/p>\n
R8 \u2013 9:36pm \u2013 Logical Staffing Solutions Argent 3yo Classic \u2013 2240m\u00a0 <\/p>\n
4 \u2013 Ideal Moth<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Golden Shooz<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 My Little Bo<\/p>\n
5 \u2013 Tivoli<\/p>\n
With scratchings thinning the field, Ideal Moth looks perfectly placed. She should press forward to lead, and with rivals likely biding their time for one late run, the race is hers to control. Very confident.<\/p>\n
BACK: 4 Ideal Moth \u2013 2 Units (win) <\/p>\n
R9 \u2013 10:07pm \u2013 Aldebaran Park Trotters FFA \u2013 1720m\u00a0 <\/p>\n
