York Race 3 - Avon Valley Pools Mdn Hcp
HIMIZU (9) is a four-start maiden with form far better than it looks. Raced in open class at Ascot, resumed with a good second at Pinjarra Scarpside then was midfield back at Ascot last time. This is the easiest assignment of her career so far and she looks ready to get off the mark. PHOTOSYNTHESIS (11) will also find this more suitable than her two runs to date. Close-up fifth at Ascot on debut then was a tiring seventh but not too far from the winning at Pinjarra Scarpside. Has upside and this is easier. Will give a sight. BANGALONG (8) finished just ahead of PHOTOSYNTHESIS in the same race. That was first run for nine months so will strip much fitter. Can improve sharply. KENTUCKY DRIVE (10) placed here two back and looks a major player on best form.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 11 at Ascot Mdn on April 29 over 1100m, slow going 15 len behind Bassett Hound with 58kg at $101. Won't find this any easier so he must improve sharply.
