Kembla Grange Race 1 - Mollie Fitzgerald Champion Apprentice Super Mdn Hcp
LEON RUBEN (4) raced wide but still kept coming to finish fourth last start over 1450m at the Illawarra Grange circuit. Drops 3.5kgs under today's scale and should enjoy the extra trip. Can win a very shallow maiden. WIZARD'S STAR (9) raced handy and whacked away to hang on for a distant third last time out over 2000m at Hawkesbury. Back in trip is not ideal but he is rock hard fit after three runs back and should play a role in the outcome. FLYING ARABESQUE (1) stalked the pace and wasn't beaten all that far last Saturday over 1400m at this track. Sparingly raced four-year-old who steps up to the mile at the right time. MY CARTOUCHE (5) improved sharply last start at Wyong at the third run back from a spell. Big chance if she can hold that form. STAY QUIET (7) disappointed at Newcastle recently but is worth another chance with blinkers on for the first time.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 11 at Newcastle on July 11 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Elstead with 56kg at $51. Second-up 4th of 14 at Scone on July 31 over 1300m, 2 len behind Courthezon carrying 55kg at $31. Heading the right way and cannot be underestimated.

Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Illawarra Grange on July 30 over 1450m, 3 len behind Overshadow with 59kg at $20. The run before that got back early 7th of 9 at this track on July 16 over 1600m, 7 len behind Equinox Legend with 59kg at $31. Strong prospects in a modest maiden.

Last start 3rd of 7 at Wyong on July 23 over 1600m, slow going 1.2 len behind Kumbaya with 54kg at $4.80. The run before that 5th of 11 at Goulburn on July 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Feazabeel carrying 57kg at $7. Close to a win. One of the leading chances based on that effort.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran last of 8 at this track on July 16 over 1300m, 25 len behind Glissando with 55kg at $91. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Albury on January 19 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Hells Spirit with 59kg at $151. Plenty of these look to have him covered.

Most recently 6th of 9 at Newcastle on August 1 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Zonkstar carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Before that 3rd in a small field at Goulburn on July 17 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Peace Bird carrying 56kg at $21. Hard to leave out of calculations.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Hawkesbury on July 19 over 2000m, slow going 5.5 len behind Longinus with 56.5kg at $12. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Hawkesbury on July 2 over 1600m, slow going 1.75 len behind Pink Persuasion with 59kg at $31. Capable of giving a great sight.
