Gosford Race 1 - The Ary Toukley Midway Hcp (C1) - Heat Of The Rising Star
LEGASELLI (6) deserves another shot at the 1600m, where she's unbeaten. Struggled to see the 2000m out after displaying a poor post-race recovery with a tiring tenth at Kembla Grange. Apprentice claim and tongue-tie should see her bounce back quickly. OURAGAN (3) has solid recent form and should get a comfortable lead from the sticky gate. Kept finding with a tidy second again over this trip at Hawkesbury. Top three contender deep into the campaign. AUTUMN SKY (2) was held up along the inside and peaked on the run first-up in a BM64 over 1300m at Illawarra Grange. Assess on the good debut victory over 1250m at Newcastle last March. Jumps sharply in trip and not to be underestimated with the claim. DERRY CITY FELIX (5) was mediocre at 2000m last time but could rebound with a drop to 1600m, weight relief, and a prior Hawkesbury third giving him a genuine chance if he recaptures that form.

Returns from five weeks off after a sound Canterbury fifth in a BM72, where she settled back, picked up in the straight and was beaten two and a half lengths by Fierceness as an outside chance in the betting. She had been beaten a nose at Goulburn before that, so there is some recent substance. Class relief helps, but top weight leaves her as a place chance only.

Had a genuine excuse when fourth first-up in a BM64 at Illawarra Grange, being bumped early and held up before finishing just over five lengths from Maidoff. Her only other run was a Newcastle Mdn win as favourite, beating The Champion after coming from the back. The new 1600m task is the key to her place hopes.

Has put together a consistent campaign and was again solid when second at Hawkesbury last start, beaten a length by He's Got Grunt after settling midfield. Two back she was favourite and fought hard when just over half a length from Dubai Adventure. Honest mare who gets another strong chance to break through.

Was disappointing over 2000m at Kembla Grange last start, finishing eighth and beaten just over eight lengths after being handy enough but only battling. His Hawkesbury third prior was better, beaten a length and a half at generous odds, and he returns to 1600m with one win and two placings at the range. Place claims if the 2000m failure is left behind.

Gets back to the 1600m range where she is one from one, and her Kembla Grange Mdn win two starts ago was decisive enough, beating Van Hoven by a length as an odds-on favourite. The latest 2000m run was plain, with a poor recovery after she was beaten a long way, but that is the query rather than the whole story. Apprentice claim helps and deserves another chance back in trip.

Filled a placing at Newcastle last start, but she was unwanted in the market and only battled on when beaten just over three lengths by Wallace Station. Her previous BM64 run at Hawkesbury was a last, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. Minor place hope at best if others under perform.
