Kempsey Race 2 - Pynx Cranes Mdn Hcp
FLETCHER (1) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fifth over 1500m at Hawkesbury. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. LA BELLA ROSA (4) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 1410m at Grafton, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. TAVERNA (7) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh over 1200m at Tuncurry. Has the talent to take this out. RIPS LAW (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1200m at Moree. Can feature in the finish.

At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 8 in a Prov Mdn at Hawkesbury on August 20 over 1500m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Copartner Pegasus carrying 55.5kg at $26. The start before that ran second last of 7 in a Prov Mdn at Wyong on August 2 over 1350m, 3.5 len behind Savoonga with 56kg at $14. Draws out again but expected to play a big role.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Toronado out of Micks New Chick. At the most recent trial finished seventh on August 18 at Gosford over 1000m. Tough assignment.

Second run back. First-up after five months 10th of 12 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Tuncurry on August 24 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Love You Anyway with 59kg at $101. Previously second-up 8th of 14 in a Super 3yo+ Mdnsw at Dubbo on March 15 over 1100m, 5 len behind Sir Herridah carrying 58.5kg at $101. Isn't among the top hopes.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Moree on August 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind By The Way with 57kg at $61. The start before that 4th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Inverell on July 18 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Boho Belle with 59kg at $7. Will push forward and looks an each way chance here.

Third-up today. Resuming 8th of 11 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Taree on August 14 over 1000m, slow going 5.5 len behind Cheating Lilibet carrying 57kg at $151. Second-up ran second last of 8 in a Ctry Mdn at Tuncurry on August 24 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Jeunetos carrying 54kg at $101. Tough to beat if near her best.
