He’s only made one appearance at the races so far, but XTRAVAGANT JOHNNY couldn’t have done a lot more without winning here at Eagle Farm earlier this month.
With natural improvement and getting further out in trip, he can begin his journey through the grades this afternoon.
| 6. Xtravagant Johnny (9) J: Ben Thompson 58kg 2T: Tony Gollan | |||
| Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 10 at this track 2yo C&G Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1000m, nose behind Profit In Paradise carrying 58kg at $3.30. Has plenty of upside and gets his chance to break through. | |||
Sent off a key chance in the market at Warwick Farm earlier this month, EVICTION NOTICE produced a smart performance but was ultimately forced to settle for second by a very impressive Castillo King.
On exposed form, there doesn’t look to be a horse of that ability engaged this afternoon, and with the benefit of that run under his belt, he looks well placed to go one better.
| 8. Eviction Notice (5) J: Tim Clark 56kg 327×2T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | |||
| Second-up. First-up after four months rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Warwick Farm 2yo C&G Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Castillo King with 56kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Rosehill in the G2 Silver Slp on February 21 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Stretan Ruler with 56.5kg at $31. Progressive youngster who will be tough to catch with that run under the belt. | |||
Her latest run, albeit stepping up in grade and into a strong Saturday metro contest did leave a little to be desired, but CONCORDIA WIND was building a nice record prior to that, including a sharp win at Warwick Farm two starts back.
In peak order today, she gets the services of James McDonald from a perfect barrier.
| 1. Concordia Wind (5) J: James McDonald 61.5kg x2418T: Chris Waller | |||
| Most recently 8th of 12 at Randwick Bm78 on July 11 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Cold Brew with 53.5kg at $6. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Warwick Farm Bm72 June 24 over 1600m defeating Trapalanda carrying 55.5kg at $6. Worth another try back at midweek level. | |||
She’s yet to strike in six runs back from a break, but RANTAN has still turned in several competitive performances and finished just over a length behind Ice Kool at Randwick last time out.
In peak condition, back to the midweeks and sticking to the 1000m trip, she’ll get some relief in the weights under Mollie Fitzgerald and could receive the run of the race from barrier 5.
| 5. Rantan (5) J: Mollie Fitzgerald 59kg 34405T: Ron Quinton | |||
| Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 13 at Randwick Bm78 on June 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Ice Kool carrying 55kg at $51. The start before that 11th of 13 at Randwick Bm78 on June 6 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Ice Kool carrying 55kg at $41. Big chance back in midweek company. | |||
