He comes into Race 5 over 1400m at Flamingo Park today with a light weight and should continue on his march to the big time.

Combera Boy’s debut couldn’t have been more impressive. After a slow start he must have had 12 lengths to make up at the top of the straight but won going away over 1600m. Next time out over 1800m he also left it until late and he flew to be beaten 0.75 lengths in MR 68 company.

Back in Kimberley over 1400m, he will have to be a little closer, but Nicola Welch knows him well and he clearly has a good turn of foot. He should be right there again.

Cleared is in good form. His last run yielded a fifth to Arctic Jet in a MR 78 Handicap, which is about as strong as racing gets in Kimberley. On that honest effort he has to be respected.

Smart Quest is also consistent. He has been racing in weaker company but his form is solid and he must have a big chance.

In the next race, Arctic Jet will be hard to beat. His main danger is Paprika, who has good form in Port Elizabeth.

Little Master looks a banker in the first leg of the Place Accumulator. In his penultimate run, he led from start to finish to win well and will take a power of beating.
