York Race 2 - Avon Valley Pools (Bm52+)
GOLD BEAU (4) is the one to beat off two sound Belmont Park CL1 efforts, a third over 1700m and then fourth over 1650m when near the top of the betting. His record at this track and around 1920m is the strongest profile in the field, and the easier assignment makes him very appealing. SPACE ACADEMY (3) is the main danger after working home well in a BM58+ at Kalgoorlie and he has already won at this venue. Easier here and from the inside barrier, he'll be hard to hold out. REBELNADO (5) has been plain in two CL3 runs, but both were over shorter trips and he is much better served returning to a distance range where he's won previously. Can bounce back to form. OBSCENTINO (2) was disappointing at Northam last start after winning there the run prior. Expecting a return to form. HANAFUBUKI (1) comes back in trip today and drops right back in grade. Blinkers go back on and an improved effort is on the cards.

Eased from Saturday company after leading to the turn and fading into seventh in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win over 2200m at Belmont Park, beaten four lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was also plain in a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+, but she has won at around 1920m and the blinkers go on. Place chance if the blinkers spark improvement.

Failed to finish off when eighth at Northam over 2200m last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. That followed a narrow 3yo+ Maiden win at the same venue when he beat Major Magnus after leading and hanging on. Barrier one and the 3kg claim help him race handy, but his 1920m record is place-heavy rather than winning. Disappointed last start but can bounce back to winning ways.

Backs up quickly after working home from the rear for fourth in a 3yo+ Benchmark 58+ over 1600m at Kalgoorlie, beaten just under five lengths. Two back he was second last in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win at Belmont Park but still made some late impression at long odds. Out in trip on the quick turnaround and can play a leading role.

Brings the right profile after two competitive Belmont Park Class 1 runs, finishing third over 1700m then fourth over 1650m when near the top of betting. He began only fairly last start but was still beaten just three and a half lengths by Saucisson. Ticking along nicely and can land the knockout blow this time.

Comes out of two Class 3 runs where the results read poorly, most recently ninth at Bunbury over 1685m after beginning slowly, covering ground and dealing with an equipment issue. He was also ninth at Northam two back, again slow away and coming from well back. Should find this much easier and can turn his recent form around.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain Northam run when second last over 1600m, beaten just under eight lengths and making no impression late. His previous run at Belmont Park was only fair, finishing eighth at long odds in a 2yo+ Class 3. Has minor track and distance positives, but others appeal more.

Has been well held at Northam in his past two, finishing ninth then second last, most recently beaten over 10 lengths after beginning slowly, covering ground and failing to make late ground. The distance is suitable on his record, with one win and three placings around 1920m, and he does drop in grade. Not here.

Picked up nicely late when fifth at Northam over 2200m last start, though she was still beaten just under seven lengths after covering ground. The run prior was a safely held sixth in a Belmont Park Class 3 when unwanted in the market. Recent margins leave her more a rough place hope than a win play.
