Blackall Race 5 - Open Hcp
RUSH HOUR (4) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 3 lengths victory over 1200m at Maxwelton a week ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. SOOPAT (3) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 1.1 lengths over 1000m at Moranbah. Generally runs well second-up and this looks well within his grasp. TESTATOR SILENS (1) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Longreach, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1200m. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. KALASHNIKOV (2) saluted over 1400m at Ilfracombe at his most recent appearance on July 12. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
