Kalgoorlie Race 2 - Hertz Kalgoorlie Mdn
OPTIMUS PRIME (8) trialled well coming into his fresh run but didn't fire at Belmont when right in the market as a $4.40 chance. Now he takes on the older horses, but he should be better for that effort and he comes right back to maiden company. Can get the job done this time around. LOVESEXY (5) has missed narrowly in both runs this time in, going under by 1.2L to a smart one last start. Third-up now and with some time between runs, she looks set to go to another level. Can go one better. MAD SPITFIRE (2) missed out in a tight finish here last week over 1400m, beaten 0.1L despite finishing third. Should be up front from the outset with Riordan's claim and can make a statement. PACIFIC LASS (7) hasn't trialled this time in work but has shown some talent in her previous heats. Can play a leading role on debut. HE'S A FIRECRACKER (3) won't be far away.

Most recently 4th of 12 at Belmont Park Mdn on July 1 over 1000m, in the wet; 1.4 len behind Deepest Desire with 56kg at $16. Before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Northam Mdn on June 18 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind Articole carrying 58kg at $19. Prefer to see him back in form.

Racing well recently. At the latest run rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 7 at this track Mdn on July 5 over 1400m, on a slow track; nose behind Sainty Cullity carrying 56.5kg at $10. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track Mdn on June 21 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Radiant Light with 56kg at $11. Back to 1200m now and he should get every chance.

Second-up. First-up after six months ran second last of 9 at Bunbury 3yo Mdn on June 28 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Quickonmyfeet carrying 55kg at $21. Previously second-up 7th of 13 at Pinjarra 3yo Mdn on December 31 over 1406m, 3 len behind Cosmic Treat with 57kg at $101. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

On debut. Three-year-old filly by North Pacific out of Sandida. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Belmont Park over 1000m. Fiore hops on board and she creates interest coming here without a trial.

Second run back. First-up after five months 7th of 10 at Belmont Park 2yo Swp on July 4 over 1300m, slow going 3.5 len behind Harbour Rise with 57kg at $4.40. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Ascot 2yo Swp on January 24 over 1200m, 5 len behind They'reallsisters carrying 56kg at $10. 2YO taking on the older horses now but he's shown some class.
