Murtoa Race 5 - Monix Swan Hill Horse Of The Year 25/26 (Bm56)

TENNESSEE SPIRIT (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1000m at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a win at Ballarat Synthetic at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. BONFIRE JIMMY (2) finished fourth last time out over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 3.5 lengths. Ready to run well now at peak fitness from a draw that presents the rider with options. RIDE LIKE MICHELLE (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 975m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Experience this course and trip could prove crucial. SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (8) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 1000m at Warracknabeal. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up. MEET ME HALFWAY (6) was an improver last start when returning to this track, where he has now had two starts for two placings.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 in a Bm62 at this track on July 28 over 975m, slow going 1.5 len behind Monix carrying 57.5kg at $8. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 in a Cg&E Bm56 at Ballarat Synthetic on July 7 over 1200m, 4 len behind Bark carrying 61kg at $8.50. Last start was an improvement and draws to play a key role.
