Wellington Race 5 - ‘Boot’ Calcutta Saturday @ Wsm & Gc Mdn Plate
ERION (2) best effort in some time after he went forward for a game second over 1200m at Cowra. Races best with his runs spaced and can overcome the sticky gate. Each-way. PENCILLER (11) handy gelding resuming. Expected to get off the mark quickly this prep after going under narrowly at his last three outings. Back without a trial and will appreciate Neale's claim. Top-three contender. HABIB ALBI (7) came in for late support on debut with a poor last over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Kept fresh for this from the good draw and no shock to see him close strongly. AIZUCHI (6) three-year-old gelding by Grunt from Hachi Oki on debut for the Allison Smith yard. Has shown ability in the last two trials and gets his chance from the low barrier.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran last of 8 at Newcastle Mdn-Sw on March 12 over 900m, slow going 7 len behind Twoexcel carrying 59kg at $81. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on October 28 over 1015m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Monaco Flyer with 59kg at $14. Prefer to see him find some form before recommending.
