Murtoa Race 2 - Klm Concreting & Soil Yard Mdn Plate
KOYUGA RIP (4) has attracted strong market support at recent starts and has been far from disgraced, with his latest fourth on the Ballarat Synthetic suggesting a win is close at hand. He is the likely leader, and he can take them all the way this time. NEW PROSPECT (5) has been competing in stronger company in both of his starts this prep, and he should appreciate getting out to a mile for the first time. With the right run, he will be fighting out the finish. WEST FORTY SEVENTH (7) was not far away at Echuca last time out, and he should be thereabouts again. FINNISH GIRL (8) will be backing up quickly after travelling too strongly in front at Pakenham-synthetic 5-days ago, and she can bounce back in this, while IDEAS GALORE (10) strips fitter, and she has enough ability to be competitive in a race that lacks any real depth.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Not seen since he finished last of 14 at Stawell Mdn-Sw May 18 over 2000m, in the wet; 49 len behind Nothin' Wong Here carrying 59.5kg at $151. On debut second last of 10 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw March 31 over 1457m, soft track; 11 len behind Regal Visions with 58kg at $18. Prefer to see how he has returned.
