Edenhope Race 8 - Bet365 Edenhope Cup
KHOR (7) missed a nose at Mt Gambier and then wasn't beaten too far in the Colac Cup after a slow off. Has a low barrier today and Meech is a positive jockey engagement. He rates to be right in it. PITTSBURGH PIRATE (3) resumed over 2000m at Naracoorte and needed it. Three back he was beaten a lip in a Flemington 80 over this distance and that makes good reading. Quick improvement is on the cards. CONNI ISLAND (8) has been racing at Listed and Group level in Adelaide. His numbers stack right up and he has to be considered. FLYING BASIL (4) won the Great Western Cup and then finished just behind KHOR in the Colac Cup. Positions forward and also has claims.
