Bro Park Race 9 - Race 9
OPTIMUS BLING (9) chases a Bro Park 2400m hat-trick after wins on 21 Aug and 21 Jul, both over DISRAELI (4), and looks the one to beat. DISRAELI (4) maps as the danger with three straight Bro Park placings at 2400m, twice running 2nd to OPTIMUS BLING (9). NASTARIA (1) draws barrier 1 and brings solid staying form, including a Hoppegarten 2800m win and a recent Hannover 2400m 2nd under 61kg. ESPEN HILL (3) is a Bro Park specialist (18 wins) with a recent 2600m win here and was 3rd over this trip on 21 Jul.

Proven at 2400m with a strong record (9:3-3-0) and unbeaten at Bro Park over this trip from barrier 1, he maps well from the inside draw. Comes off a Hannover 2400m 2nd, beaten 2.5L at 1.75 SP under 61kg, with solid prior wins at Hoppegarten over 2400m and 2800m. In-form rider Jozef Bojko (15:6-3-2 with this yard) stays on, and today’s set-up looks suitable.

Proven at Bro Park with a perfect 2-from-2 record and fourth-up today, he draws barrier 2 and reunites with Carlos Lopez, who has a strong 7:3-0-1 partnership. Last start he won over 1800m at Ovrevoll and now rises 600m, having already ticked the 2400m box this prep. Solid recent profile suggests he’ll be competitive under these conditions.

Prolific at Bro Park (39:18-7-6) and effective at 2400m (11:4-1-3), he returns to this trip from barrier 3 where his gate stats are strong (barriers 1-3: 5:3-0-1). Last start he was 3rd at Bro Park over 2400m on 21 Jul, starting $1.80 behind Optimus Bling and Disraeli, and two back he won the 2600m there at $2.05. Fourth-up with a solid prep profile (5:0-3-2), he maps to get the right run and hold his form.

Ultra-consistent at Bro Park with a strong track record (40:8-11-7) and proven at 2400m (5:1-2-0), he’s finished 2nd in his last three, twice behind Optimus Bling at this trip at SPs 5 and 7. Draws barrier 4 again with Jacob Johansen, whose combo with the yard reads well (15:4-7-2). Honest stayer holding form and well placed to run another bold race.

Unbeaten at 2400m (3:3-0-0) and third-up here, he scored over 2400m at Ovrevoll on 2 Jul with Nicolaj Stott aboard, beating Zakopane. Comes back up 600m after two 1800m runs and draws barrier 5; proven staying profile makes him a genuine chance.

Third-up and back out 600m to 2400m suits given a (5:1-1-1) record at the trip. Won at Jagersro Galopp over 2400m two starts ago (SP 1.85), beating Moon String, and now draws barrier 6 after gate 1 last time. The Oliver Wilson–Jan-Erik Neuroth combination has been effective (7:3-2-1), so he looks well set under today’s set-up.

Seasoned stayer with a solid 2400m record (15:3-4-0) and fourth-up today, having finished 4th of 5 at Bro Park over 2400m 26 days ago at SP 8.5 behind Optimus Bling. Won over 2400m at Klampenborg in May with Anna Pilroth and was 2nd there later that month, and the rider’s strong partnership (24:6-3-1) is a positive. Genuine staying credentials make him a reasonable hope at the trip.

Front-running type who won over 2303m at Windsor on 27 Jun (GBBPlus Race) carrying 61.5kg at $4, beating Majestic. Since then he’s led and faded for 8th at Newmarket (2414m, $8.5) and Ascot (2405m, $21), the latest beaten 12.85L under 64.5kg. Drops to 60kg here with David Egan aboard and can give a sight if controlling the tempo.

Kept his Bro Park 2400m record perfect (2:2-0-0) with back-to-back wins, latest 21 Aug over 2400m at 1.4 when beating Disraeli. Overall track figures are solid (8:3-0-1), and he’s 2-from-4 at 2400m this prep with a short 26-day turnaround. Draws barrier 9 and gets Lorenzo Putzulu; proven at track and trip, he profiles as a strong chance to hold form.
