Verdict

FIRE BOMBER (5) raced handy and gave a good galloper in Navy Pilot a run for its money last weekend over 1350m at this track. Opened this prep with a win three back over today's distance. Very fit and looks the testing material. VENOM RUSH (8) came with a mighty finish to score with ease over this trip at Ipswich two back. Subsequently not too far away over a longer journey. Steps up in class but this is not out of reach. OVER SPRAY (10) led for home and gave a great sight but was swamped close to home in a $200k race over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast recently. New to this distance but is lightly raced and has loads of upside. METAL MAN (7) has trialled successfully since a poor effort as favourite behind Venom Rush at Ipswich. Ratings say he can win if on-song. MOSHULU SPIRIT (2) has won three from three this prep, all at 1200m. Takes on a deeper race today but is difficult to knock.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.7 len at Ipswich 3&4yo Hcp July 8 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Warrior Bae with 54.5kg at $2. The start before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at this track 3yo Bm65 June 17 over 1200m in soft going defeating Statement Of Truth carrying 57.5kg at $2.45. Airborne and can win again despite the class rise.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Ipswich Cl4-Sw on July 8 over 1350m, slow going 3.5 len behind Robrick with 56.5kg at $5.50.

Should be right in the finish.
