Roma Race 1 - Lsa Demolition (Bm55)

Former NSW galloper MATCHSTICKS (4) tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Beautifully placed against this line-up and is sure to be there at the finish. The well-related MANHATTAN THUNDER (1) (half to G2 winner Fontiton) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1000m at Cranbourne, beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh. This much easier and is sure to take a ton of beating. LUNESSA (2) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 900m at this track. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp. TORVECCHIO (3) was below her best last time, finishing seventh over 1200m at Goondiwindi. Reece O'Connell gets the best out of this five-year-old mare. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves another chance.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Last start faded in the straight 8th of 10 at Hawkesbury on July 2 over 1600m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Satono Jasmine carrying 55kg at $12. The start before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 10 at Wyong on June 7 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Totoka carrying 56.5kg at $9. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
