Comments
1 CRUZADO
(A Stapleford) 8g By Hurricane Sky - Miss Santiago (65:12-9-7): Resumed with average 6-1/2 len last (62.0) Reprobate 1250m C'bury (Bm70) dead trk Jan 14. Struck interference near 100m during 4-1/2 len 9th (59.0) Livin' On The Edge 1200m R'wick (Bm75) Jan 26. Nearing his peak now and will find this assignment more to his liking. Keep safe.
2 AFFORESTATION
(R J Davies) 7g By Octagonal - Forest Finch (56:6-8-11): Warmed up over the concluding stages 1-1/2 len 5th (62.0) Master Danny 1000m Taree (Bm65) slow trk Jan 5. No match for runaway winner in 2-1/2 len 2nd (59.0) Fashion Street 1280m Muswellbrook (Bm70) Jan 22. Sound effort in this grade last start. Hard to beat.
3 CLAN MCCLYMONT
(M R Stitt) 4g By Mull Of Kintyre - Clantime (14:4-3-1): Sent to the paddock after poor 12-1/4 len 11th (54.0) Our Vegas Dream 1600m Newcastle (78) Sept 17. Forced to cover ground in 5-1/4 len 6th (58.0) Mr Armstrong 1250m Taree (Bm65) Jan 28. Didn't have much go his way when resuming last start. Can bounce back here.
4 GREAT STOOKAN
(R N Godbolt) 4g By Giant's Causeway - Pokey Hill (12:3-4-1): Edged out for sht 1/2 hd 2nd (58.0) Unravel 1200m Port Macquarie (67) Jan 29 (2009). Sent to the paddock after 3-1/2 len, 1/2 len 3rd (54.5) The Sheik, Gold Waltz 1000m Port Macquarie (77) heavy trk April 24. First-up. Comes to hand quickly and handles all conditions. Hard to fault.
5 SAFEAS
(S G Morton) 5g By Beautiful Crown - Safe 'n' Sound (31:6-4-4): Sprinted clear for effortless 2-1/2 len win (54.0) Mafia Don, Irish Cross 1500m Port Macquarie (Bm70) Nov 30. Suffered injury during 5-1/4 len 9th (58.0) Impulsive Act 1500m Port Macquarie (Bm65) Dec 14. Let-up. Pulled up with an injury last last start. Prefer to see.
6 IMPULSIVE ACT
(M P Byers) 5m By Clang - Fastlove (25:5-2-3): Held rivals at bay for 3/4 len win (54.5) Bored, Xaarmelody 1500m Port Macquarie (Bm65) Dec 14. Vetted after disappointing 5-1/2 len 4th (54.0) Chaperon Bay 1600m Taree (Bm70) slow trk Jan 5. Seldom far away but he needs to improve in order to match some of these.
7 MR ARMSTRONG
(W T Wilkes) 4g By Catbird - Brave Lead (6:2-1-0): Blocked for run during 1-1/2 len 4th (58.0) Tristamberelle 1000m Taree (Bm50) slow trk Jan 5. Forged clear for 1-1/4 len win (54.0) Belford Boy, Lots Of Success 1250m Taree (Bm65) Jan 28. Others make stronger appeal.
