Kempsey Race 2 - Pynx Cranes Showcase (Bm74)
BRILLIANT KNIGHT (3) has the right profile second-up after resuming with a Class 3 third at Port Macquarie, where he was favourite, slow to begin and still only beaten two and a half lengths. His broader record is reliable, Luke Rolls has two wins and two places from five rides on him, and the weight relief gives him the strongest overall case. PRINCE IS GAME (6) is the obvious danger after back-to-back wins, first in a BM58 at Port Macquarie and then in a BM66 at Taree despite being checked near the 700m. The BM74 rise asks more, but his 1900m record is solid. ZOU BIG BOY (5) comes through BM58 form with recent market respect, weight relief and a quick back-up in his favour, though this is harder. HE'S A COPY BOY (2) drops from Open company and has the 3kg claim, with his closing BM66 fifth two starts back keeping him in the place mix despite the 1900m query.

Has been safely held in stronger company at his past two, finishing tenth in an Open at Taree last start when beaten over 13 lengths after settling back and making no impression. The start prior was similar in a Quality at Port Mac, where he was last and beaten over 11 lengths. Well drawn in a weaker race, slim place claims.

Drops out of an Open at Taree where he finished sixth, beaten seven and a half lengths, after settling back and failing to finish off as a long-odds runner. His previous BM66 fifth was better, closing strongly behind Zou Big Boy and missing by two and a half lengths. The 1900m query keeps him more a place hope.

Resumed with a sound third in Class 3 company at Port Macquarie, beaten two and a half lengths after being slow to begin and racing keenly as favourite. He had also placed in Open grade at Coffs two starts back, so the form has substance. Luke Rolls' record aboard him makes the case strong.

Worked home evenly when fourth in a BM66 at Beaumont (newcastle) last start, beaten just over a length after an early block, and that followed a BM58 win at Grafton where he beat Sun Topaze by a nose. Tough old stayer undefeated at the track.

Backs up quickly after a Moree BM58 fifth, beaten three lengths, with a late bump adding some context to the run. He was better at Tamworth the start prior, leading and just being run down when fourth, beaten just under a length as favourite. Class rise caps the winning case, but place claims are genuine.

Arrives in winning form after taking a BM66 at Taree by half a length as favourite, picking up sharply despite being checked near the 700m. That backed up his BM58 win at Port Macquarie, where he beat Purple Kitty by just over two lengths at generous odds. Class rise is the only real caution in the small field.

Turns around in four days after finishing third in a BM58 at Ballina, but he was still beaten seven and a half lengths in a small field. His previous BM50 fourth at Mudgee, beaten four and a half lengths, also leaves him short of the main chances. Others look stronger.
