Seymour Race 1 - Bet365 Bet Boost Mdn Plate
SKUA (9) presents second up off a solid return here over 1400m. The leader ran along at a strong pace and he was just chasing the entire way, closing off strongly as the $2.40 favourite to be beaten under a length. Connections have flagged him as a Victoria Derby horse and up to a mile with upside can see him justify that path. DIESEL DESMOND (2) has been right there in two runs back from a spell, boxing on well for second at Geelong second up. Looks another suited up in trip and he draws for a soft run. MISS WAITITI (11) resumes having run a solid race in town on debut in June, she looks one that should relish this trip as well. MILVIAN BRIDGE (8) was solid on debut and is in the mix.

Second run from a spell sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on August 28 over 1547m, slow going 2.25 len behind Arashi Flash carrying 59.5kg at $4.20. Fitter now and making headway. Up in trip will suit and he'll take holding out.

Third race start. Promising on debut tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 in a Paul Perry at Newcastle on March 6 over 1300m, 1.1 len behind Southend carrying 57kg at $18. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 7 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Night Guard carrying 57kg at $2.40. Staying type with upside who will relish the mile, go close.
