Wyong Race 3 - Rick Arnett Appreciation Stakes Provincial Mdn Plate
ANTHROPOID (11) ran some respectable races in Group company last prep and resumed with a tough on-pace fourth over 1200m at Illawarra Grange. Drops in weight and can assert his class in this winnable race. GOLDEN GODDESS (12) away only fairly on debut and found the 1200m too short when fifth over 1200m at Canterbury. Look for her to be doing her best work late. BOBBY (1) claims helps today after he was collared late when second over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Can take control early and prove hard reel in. Debutant OCEAN EMPIRE (4) the next in line.

Racing well recently. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Port Macquarie on July 31 over 1206m, slow going 2.5 len behind Canal with 59kg at $12. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Gosford on July 18 over 1200m, on a wet track; 2 len behind Frida Kay with 53.5kg at $9.50. Going well. One of the leading chances with the claim.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Illawarra Grange on July 30 over 1200m, 2 len behind Lego Master with 59kg at $8. Previously second-up 9th of 13 in a G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill on March 28 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Southend with 57kg at $81. Solid return and can get the better of these.
