Race 8 — The Gong Striker Sam Goodman Hcp (C1) 1200m · jumps

Race preview

The Gong Striker Sam Goodman Handicap runs at Illawarra Grange over 1200 metres on a soft track under overcast skies at 5:45 pm AEDT. Good'N'You heads the market from Marchon and Captivating Tycoon, with Time To Dance fourth and Harry's Halo fifth. The early battle will pit Marchon and Portico on pace against a midfield cluster including Time To Dance, Captivating Tycoon, The Force Awakens and Li'L Grug, while Harry's Halo and Good'N'You sit offpace with Arato backmarking. The condition suits runners with soft-track experience, and the 1200 metres is sharp enough to reward honest speed and finishing power across this Class 1 field.

Good'N'You's market position is worth scrutiny. The form reads strong—a two-length second at Newcastle in Class 1 on identical soft going three starts back, chased hard at Beaumont, and a handy gate three with a 58-kilogram impost. The AAP comment flags a win close, and the rating of 95 suggests real substance. A rider change to Lee Magorrian and a combo that's struggling create some doubt, but the recent form and class fit argue this horse shapes as a major player. Marchon, meanwhile, drops into a suitable grade and knows this track. Out of the placings last time at Wyong off a long absence, better conditioned now, Marchon rates 100 and carries 60 kilograms from barrier eight—a touch of weight to overcome, yet the experience here and the form progression merit respect. Captivating Tycoon was three lengths away first-up at Kembla Grange and rates 94; the outing will have sharpened it, and this is a genuine danger.

Time To Dance offers a contrarian angle. The narrow maiden win at Hawkesbury off a lengthy absence was impressive—a raking drive in the final bounds—and the fast finishing sectionals back a finishing horse. Barrier seven is workable, Rory Hutchings is in the saddle, and the jump to Class 1 is a clear step, yet the form record and the rating of 84 sit below Marchon and Good'N'You. The opinion here tilts toward Good'N'You to reward the market's faith, with Marchon the place claim for value-minded punters unfazed by the weight and the outside gate.

AAP

Made running, no answer when challenged but held on for third in the Hcp (C1) at Kembla Grange. Draw makes the job harder but a Winner this trip. Could add some value to exotics.

ILB

Although fading at the finish still grabbed 3rd last run at Kembla Grange. Likely to be well placed early.

RP

Not beaten far when third over 7f at Kembla Grange (handicap) last week; you have to go back a fair way to find his only win; been struggling to get his head in front recently so has questions to answer.

RSIS

Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last time at Kembla Grange. Displays good tactical pace.

AAP

Out of the placings but still acquitted himself well at Wyong off long break. Better conditioned. Can make his presence felt with even luck.

ILB

Jumped at $3.00 and came in 4th last run at Wyong. May see an upturn in form. Strong chance today.

RP

Finished fourth 16 days ago albeit only beaten just under 2l at Wyong; normally pretty consistent; is passed over given many of his rivals are in good form.

RSIS

Odds of 2/1 and finished 4th last run at Wyong. Can show a better performance this time. Should go well.

AAP

Let down with a raking drive to get up in final bounds at Hawkesbury after lengthy absence. Goes to a Class 1 now and well in the mix.

ILB

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at Hawkesbury and promising career start. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Facing stiffer opposition. Can surprise at a nice price.

RP

Not fancied in the betting (16-1) when a narrow winner over 5½f at Hawkesbury (handicap) last month; can be in the mix.

RSIS

Rocketed home when winning last run at Hawkesbury and showing consistent performance in races. Stepping up to a higher level. Form has been improving over recent runs.

AAP

Back for second campaign (14-weeks). Placed at Hawkesbury on debut last campaign while warmed up with 2 trials. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

First up and ran on hard when winning first up last preparation at Gosford. Fitter for a trial at Hawkesbury on Oct 20th. Might be ridden for luck. Unlikely to go close.

RP

Held when fourth beaten 7l over 5½f at Wyong (handicap) in August; big chance if reproducing form of his win three starts back.

RSIS

Resuming and ran on strongly to win resuming last preparation at Gosford. Finished 3rd in a trial at Hawkesbury on Oct 20th. Prefers to settle towards the rear.

AAP

First-up (22-weeks). Just managed the one outing last prep. Decent alley. Not out of this fresh.

ILB

Fresh today after a break. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last start at Wyong. Has not placed in multiple trials. Would not recommend.

RP

Normally pretty consistent and has taken a step forward the last twice; fair effort when beaten 3l, finishing third of seven at Wyong in June; layoff to overcome; should not be ruled out if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 3L last start at Wyong. Unplaced in all trials.

AAP

5 weeks since last run. Kept coming and just fell short at Kembla Grange. Winner at only other start on the Illawarra Grange track and this looks very achievable.

ILB

Zipped home into 3rd beaten by 1/2L last start at Kembla Grange. Going well this preparation. Has won 1 from 2 runs on a soft track. Limited possibility.

RP

Missed out by half a length over 5f at Kembla Grange (handicap) last month; has won previously at this course; running consistently; must be respected.

RSIS

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last time at Kembla Grange. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a break.

A win looks close. Chased in a good effort at Beaumont. Handy gate and a nice weight drop. Major player here.

ILB

Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Newcastle. Performing honestly since coming back from a spell. Winning potential.

RP

Running consistently; near miss when favourite over 6½f at Beaumont (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Caught the eye when 2nd last run at Newcastle. Looking sharp on the track recently. Will be competitive.

AAP

Made steady inroads but the winner was out of reach at Kembla Grange first up. Better for the outing and among the dangers again.

ILB

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by 2L last time at Kembla Grange. Will go close today.

RP

Good effort when 2l third (Kembla Grange) last month.

RSIS

Finished with intent when 3rd last start at Kembla Grange. Will go close here.

AAP

Started $7 when sent forward and narrowly prevailed Mdn first run back. Just out of his maiden and facing tougher challenge here.

ILB

Charged home to win last start at Canberra and has a good draw. Large claim helps but competing at a higher grade. Not ready for this level.

RP

Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; broke his duck at the seventh attempt at Canberra over 5f (handicap) last week; despite that Canberra success, has some questions to answer.

RSIS

Picked up nicely to win last time at Canberra and has a good draw. Large claim helps but challenged by more formidable competitors.

AAP

Winless since 11 Dec. Finished out the back at Kembla Grange as a despised outsider. Needs to lift to figure. On trust.

ILB

At $101.00 disappointing run when 10th last time at Kembla Grange but drawn the rails. Poppie Gorton provides some weight relief. Can't have on what it has been showing.

RP

Finished last of ten over 5f at Kembla Grange (handicap) last month; only once has he got into the winners' enclosure and form has an up and down look to it; may have to settle for supporting role as this looks a fair heat.

RSIS

Was 100/1 and clearly outclassed when 10th last start at Kembla Grange but gets a favourable draw. The large claim from Poppie Gorton should help.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
