Verdict

FUNCHAL (3) was good late in the race over 1400m first-up for Brad Parnham when only 2.1L off the winner. The rise in trip looks ideal for her and Pike hopping in the saddle is a positive sign. Returned in good order and looks ready to raise the bar now second-up. WEMBANYAMA (6) made it back-to-back wins last start when storming over the top to win as an odds-on pop. Up to 1800m for the first time, but it does look to suit him and the race looks to work out nicely for him. Can bring up the hat-trick. GINGER GREEN (1) steps up in trip for the first time after sitting close to the speed last time out and finishing 0.4L off the winner. The claim of ZJP comes in handy and he's not to be discounted. ODINAKA (4) is better than he showed last time out and a return to his best form can see him go close. ATLANTIS BEACH (10) can make his presence felt off the inside barrier.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at this track Rtg 69+ on October 18 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Prophet And Power carrying 57kg at $3.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Kalgoorlie Rtg 65+ on October 4 over 1600m, 3 len behind Dont Wait For Luck carrying 59kg at $4.60. Encouraging effort last start. Should get his chance out in distance.

Verdict
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up sat on the pace before fading 8th of 10 at Belmont Park Rtg 71+ on September 27 over 1200m, 4 len behind Sonoftheboss with 57.5kg at $31. Second-up second last of 9 at this track Rtg 69+ on October 18 over 1600m, 3 len behind Prophet And Power carrying 59.5kg at $19. Useful type but a win doesn't look likely.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at this track Rtg 69+ on October 18 over 1600m, long-neck behind Prophet And Power with 56.5kg at $9. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Belmont Park Rtg 69+ on September 27 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Stormageddon carrying 59.5kg at $14. Not beaten far last start and rates highly off that performance.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently got back early 9th of 12 at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ on September 20 over 1650m, slow going 6 len behind Decision Maker carrying 57.5kg at $91. The race before that 7th of 13 at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ on September 6 over 1600m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Odinaka with 58kg at $21. Not a good sign last start so looking elsewhere.
