Devonport Synthetic Race 8 - Ladbrokes Golden Mile
Feel the two-pace horses will dominate up front. The up-and-comer is COAL RIVER (2) who is racing well including a last-start all-the-way win at Hobart. Into open class now but drops 4.5kg and in the small field will take catching. SUSHI EXPRESS (1) will be pushing forward as well and looks the toughest to beat. Unbeaten from two tries this course and distance and proven in this class. Will be in it for a long way. THE LONGEST YARD (5) has a good record at this course and distance and drops in the weights for this. Suited by the extra ground and should be tough to stop. GARCON D'ESPOIR (6) is long overdue for a win after a string of placings and sure to measure up again. CAPTAIN CAM (4) kept coming here last time and did win only try this trip.

Recent form sound. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd in a small field in a Open Hcp at Hobart on August 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Rubbleonthedouble carrying 57kg at $2.25. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 14 in a Open Hcp at Hobart on July 19 over 1380m, slow going 0.5 len behind Rubbleonthedouble with 57kg at $6.50. Not far away of late. Unbeaten course and distance and should give a sight.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 3rd of 8 in a Bm68 at this track on July 26 over 1650m, 2.75 len behind Simply Deep with 59.5kg at $2.50. Second-up won by 1.3 len at Hobart on August 19 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Stardarmus carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Slips into this with a light weight and will take catching.

Most recently ran second last in a small field in a Open Hcp at Hobart on August 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Rubbleonthedouble with 54kg at $8.50. The start before that 5th of 14 in a Open Hcp at Hobart on July 19 over 1380m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Rubbleonthedouble with 52kg at $31. Close to the winner last two in this class and could be over the odds.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 7 in a C5 at Hobart on August 19 over 1400m, slow going 1.4 len behind Coastal Strike with 59kg at $2. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 in a Cl4 Sw at this track on July 12 over 1350m, neck behind Simply Deep with 59kg at $1.50. Well placed. Overdue for a win and sure to measure up again.
