Bordertown Race 4 - Sportsbet Blackbook (Bm58)
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND (5) has put together consecutive seconds at Gawler and his latest was the right platform for this, finishing strongly when beaten a length and a half after coming out of provincial company. He has not been winning often, but his current form is the most reliable in this field and he gets his chance to convert. PUNCHIN (7) is the seasoned danger, with a second at Naracoorte last start, a sound record at this track and proven 2000m credentials. KISS MY ROCK (1) has stronger-grade references through a BM62 fifth at Kyneton and an Open run at Avoca, and the move into BM58 company gives him a genuine winning case. CASINO SHOWGIRL (8) brings the metro placing at Morphettville and is third-up, though the new 2000m may test. Definite threat in this line-up.

Kept himself in the race at Kyneton last start and was only swamped late when fifth in a BM62 over 1887m, beaten just under three lengths by Biratu. The run prior was in Open company at Avoca, where he was there to strike before fading into sixth. Proven enough at the trip and handles wet ground, so he has a strong winning profile.

Was within striking range at Horsham last start before finishing fourth in a BM62, beaten five lengths, with tightening near the 200m adding some context. His Ballarat seventh in BM66 grade two back was only fair after he began slowly and merely held his ground. Can feature.

Kept on from well back when fifth at Kilmore last start in a BM62 on soft ground, but was beaten just over five lengths and started at long odds. Two back at Horsham he was held up approaching the 200m before battling into sixth behind Octane Reign. Honest enough for exotics, but the 2000m record tempers the win case.

Began awkwardly when fourth at Naracoorte last start as favourite, beaten four and a half lengths by Sharma Princess, so there was a legitimate excuse without making the run better than it was. His Coleraine eighth prior was plain from the back. Track win and rider switch keep him in the place discussion.

Comes in off two strong Gawler seconds, the latest when finishing hard from provincial company to be beaten a length and a half by Hamner Springs. The start prior had merit as well, covering ground and still finishing within a length of Win To Retire at generous odds. Drawn kindly and brings the strongest current form.

Worked into second at Echuca last start but was beaten just over four lengths by Mickio after covering ground and having a few manners issues noted. Her Kyneton fourth before that was sound at big odds on soft ground, beaten just under three lengths. Has 2000m form but must lift on the key chances.

Improved into second at Naracoorte last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Sharma Princess, after racing close enough and battling on. His Penola fourth on soft ground two back was sound without being sharp. The stronger case is his profile: a winner at this track, proven at 2000m and reunited with a rider who has won on him. Last-start Naracoorte second gives him a proper winning chance.

Was third at Morphettville last start in metro company, beaten eight and a half lengths by Frontpoint after working home evenly from the second half of the field. That was still better company than this, and her Penola second in BM54 grade on soft ground showed she is ticking over third-up. First go at 2000m is the query for the win.

Failed to make an impact from provincial company at Gawler last start, finishing tenth and beaten just over six lengths behind Win To Retire. His Halidon sixth in BM52 grade two back had more merit, coming from well back and making some inroads. Blinkers come off; place hope only if he improves third-up.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a sixth at Mt Gambier, where he began slowly, was unwanted in the market and made some late ground without threatening Urbanise. His Naracoorte tenth before that was a clear below-par run on heavy ground, beaten over 11 lengths. Distance and track place form offer context, but recent figures leave him well down the order.
