Illawarra Grange Race 7 - Sydcom Midway (Bm64)
AUTUMN SKY (6) resumes from a lengthy break. Created a big impression from the outside draw on debut as fav, when rounding up inferior opposition to score over 1250m at Newcastle last March. Fitted with the two trials and the booking of Zac Lloyd is a good guide to his chances. BRAZIL (5) tough gelding who finds a winnable race today from the rails draw. Drifted back from the sticky gate with the 61kg when a tidy fourth over 1400m at Nowra. Winning rider hops back aboard and shapes as the main danger. MAIDOFF (2) sharp improver second up from the outside gate when he speared across for a dominant 2.25 len victory at this track over 1200m. Produced solid figures last start and should handle the extra trip. BOLD AND BLAZEN (4) excellent return off the one trial when he tried to lead throughout before being claimed late to run second over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Extra trip is in his favour and worth thought.

Second-up. First-up after five months 4th of 13 in a Mid Cl1 at this track on September 17 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Maidoff with 57kg at $5.50. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by a nose in a F&M Mdn-Sw at Newcastle on April 11 over 1250m defeating Get Litt with 58kg at $1.75. Look for an improved showing.

Last start 5th of 9 in a Cg&E Bm64 at Kembla Grange on September 12 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Sky Deck with 57kg at $9.50. The race before that couldn't go on with it; ran last of 9 in a Bm72 at Warwick Farm on August 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Mr Miller with 54kg at $51. Likely to find this out of reach.
