Young Race 5 - Arma Insurance Brokers 3yo Colts & Geldings Pace
TROUBLE IN ME (5) made an impressive return last start when a convincing winner over 1720m at this track on August 4, getting home by 12 metres. Leading hope in a similar assignment. BUDDY GUY NZ (4) ran fifth last start at Alexandra Park over 2200m, beaten 17 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to be prominent. LOCHINVAR TIGER (9) having his first start at this track and is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Newcastle three weeks ago. PAPIER MACHE (3) has drawn well and is worth considering after a last-start seventh over 1730m at Bathurst six days ago.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr1) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway beaten 20 m by Steel Stride (2:04.20) in 2yo on December 19 at $10. Solid top-three contender.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr5) over 1740m after being wide early at Riverina Paceway beaten 25 m by Aftershock (2:03.80) in 3yo on August 7 at $41. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Riverina Paceway (2:05.80) beating Jiveandwhisper in on July 28 at $1.90. May find this too tough.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle beaten 30 m by Couldnt Catch Him (1:55.60) on July 27 at $5.50. The start before was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 40 m by Conciliate (1:52.20) in 3yo on July 21 at $34. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
