    Race Analysis

    CARPE ASTRA (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 4½f at Murray Bridge. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. BETTER SHAPE UP (1) finished eighth over 5f at Ballarat Synthetic at his most recent appearance on June 27. Comes here with definite claims. GOLD THUNDER (13) sat on the pace last time and battled on well to finish 1. 1 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at Werribee. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. SEE NO CITY (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Seymour but raced below expectations last time over 6f at Seymour, finishing ninth and beaten 6 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
