Asva @ 7.00
The fifth race on the Eagle Farm card is an 1845m Benchmark 78 handicap event set to take place on a soft 5 track.
Angel Jones’ mount Moszur has delivered some solid efforts in defeat this prep, including when two lengths fourth over 1600m at Doomben on her penultimate start.
The filly raced on a soft 6 track that day and went on to fill the same position when racing over 1820m in a Class 3 set weights contest here next time.
While the filly rates highly in this field, preference is for DIABLO BOLT, who registered four wins last year including by a narrow margin in an 1800m event at Sunshine Coast in August.
The 3.20 pick contested a Benchmark 68 handicap held on a soft 7 track that day, with the gelding having performed well over further in the past.
Trained by Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald the four-year-old was spelled following that success and resumed with a wide margin win back at Sunshine Coast last month.
The selection came home seven-and-a-half-lengths clear of his rivals in a 1600m Class 5 handicap on that occasion.
Apprentice Dan McGillivray takes a valuable three kilograms off the gelding’s back and he looks up to completing a hat-trick.
The meeting scheduled for Caulfield Heath has been transferred to Mornington, with the finale a 1200m Benchmark 64 handicap expected to take place on a good 4 surface.
Three-year-old filly Hustle In Heels made the perfect start to her racing career when scoring by over a length in a maiden at Caulfield Heath last month.
The daughter of Bel Esprit raced close to the speed on that occasion and she represents a stable in Julius Sandhu who can boast a 31% strike-rate (5/16) in the last month.
While the youngster rates highly in this field she lacks the experience of some of her rivals here and WRITTEN BLIGH is selected to get the better of her in this field.
The four-year-old demonstrated good form over this distance last prep, including when taking out a Benchmark 64 handicap on the synthetic track at Pakenham in July.
The 4.60 pick went on to finish third in a Benchmark 70 event over the same course and distance next time out prior to returning to turf at Sandown.
The filly lost out by a narrow margin when racing on the Lakeside track at Sandown in August and she was spelled following that effort.
Grahame Begg’s filly was carried wide early on prior to finishing half-a-length second in a 1000m event here on her return last month and she is taken to go one better stepping back up in distance.
The feature race at Devonport Synthetic is the 1880m Devonport Cup, an open handicap that has attracted a field of 14.
Glenn Stevenson’s ASVA takes the eye here, having registered some good efforts on turf this season, including when winning twice at Launceston.
The most recent of those victories saw him win by a narrow margin in a 1400m Class 5 handicap held on a good 4 track last month.
The five-year-old made a highly promising first start at this venue when beaten less than a length in the Kevin Sharkie Sheffield Cup over 1650m at this venue.
The 7.00 selection met trouble in running in the straight when finishing strongly from off the pace that day having been ridden closer to the speed in previous starts this prep.
Jockey Erica Byrne Burke, on board on that occasion, is again set to ride here and he looks capable of registering his fifth career win.
