Devonport Synthetic Race 2 - Goodstone Group Mdn Plate

BRUTAL EMPIRE (7) looks hard to beat. Has started here at both runs this time in, finding one better each time. Gets chance to break through. EQUIVASTER (4) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths, last start over 1150m at this track. Finally draws a gate and looks a danger. PENINSULA ROSE (5) is a former Victorian who ran on well first try for the new yard here. Better for that and should be tough to stop late. MIDWAY POINT (2) was seventh but beaten just over a length second-up. Blinkers added and worth following up.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old entire by Needs Further out of Stepaway. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 800m at Devonport Synthetic July 28. Doubt he will make an impression here so prefer others.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1150m, 4 len behind City Wok carrying 54.5kg at $12. The run before that 6th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 12 over 1350m, 2.5 len behind Da Silver Flash with 53.5kg at $3.50. An inside draw is a big advantage. Hard to beat on her best form.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, led but faded 3rd of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 12 over 1009m, 2 len behind Thermal Miss carrying 58.5kg at $3.40. Second-up raced on the pace before fading ran last of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1150m, 8 len behind City Wok with 58.5kg at $9.50. Much better draw and well worth another chance.
