Leap To Fame

Barrier 8 · Jockey Grant Dixon · Trainer Grant Dixon · Form 21111

Model win 2.23 · place 1.31

Showed a clean pair of heels to win last time at Albion Park and returning to a rise in trip. Can't knock the form winning 4 in succession. Chance and can measure up.

Stellar record says it all. So close last year. Big chance to round out his CV.

Is in sparkling form with four wins on the trot, the latest by 6 metres at Albion Park over 1660m. Aussie superstar whose whole campaign has been targeted at atoning for a brave second in this race last year.

Set the pace to win last run at Menangle and back over more ground. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Should muster plenty of early toe. Definite contender.

Two-time NZ Cup winner who has unleashed some slick times recently. Chance.

Won two starts ago at Menangle then kept the outstanding form going last time when he got home by 17 metres over 2300m at Menangle. Two-time winner of this race and he is back in form at the right time.

Started at $20.00 and hit the line well when 4th last run at Melton and stepping back up in trip. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Last two runs have shown a hint of his best. Massive in last year's Cup. Upset.

Finished second at Menangle two starts back then missed the top-three but wasn't beaten all that far last time out in Victoria Cup at Melton. Last year's winner who is building nicely towards his title defence and is helped by the draw.

Looked good when 2nd last run at Ashburton and racing over a longer distance. Craig Ferguson and Regan Todd are usually competitive when they team up. Expecting a strong showing.

Amazing sectionals at Ashburton. Contrasting draw, but look for him late.

Scored fresh three back and has recorded close seconds at his past two starts, most recently over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Draw doesn't help him but is in form and is a threat with some luck.

Got the upper hand late when winning last run at Ashburton and racing over extra ground. Going well this preparation. Win will not surprise.

Great manners negated by this draw. Can't knock his lead-up though. Consider.

Scored by 1.1 metres over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway last start on the back of a solid 5 metres fourth at this track the run prior. Cops a tough draw but has the form to get into the finish if things go his way.

Racing and Sports

LEAP TO FAME (8) is a quality entire who has managed four wins and zero minor placings from four starts this prep. Worked to find the lead and kept kicking to add to the winning sequence last time out over 1660m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. SWAYZEE (6) made it two wins on the trot last start when he won at Listed level over 2300m at Menangle, getting home by 17 metres. Top-shelf performer who is a genuine danger. KINGMAN (4) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing fourth in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 6 metres by Captains Mistress. Tough to beat from an ideal draw against this lineup. MARKETPLACE (11) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.

Dabble

SWAYZEE (6) Dictated the tempo to win last run at Menangle and stepping back up in distance. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Driver Cameron Hart consistently rides well for this stable. Respect in this event. LEAP TO FAME (8) Led from start to finish when winning last time at Albion Park and going back up in trip. Made it 4 wins on the bounce. Can win this. MARKETPLACE (11) Placed 2nd last run at Ashburton and going over extra ground. Craig Ferguson and Regan Todd have a high strike rate together. Must respect in this event. MERLIN (16) Really dug deep when winning last start at Alexandra Park and returns to a longer distance. Getting better in recent performances. Well placed and has solid claims.

Timeform (FanDuel)

Aussie hero LEAP TO FAME (8) is back and seeking redemption after his brave second in this race last year. Has won everything across the Tasman and his whole campaign has been targeted at peaking for this race. He draws wide but is at least on the front line so can work his way forward from there and his toughness cannot be doubted. Has been terrific in winning a couple of editions of the Race and a NZ FFA in past visits but this is the one connections want. Fellow Aussie and arch rival SWAYZEE (6) chases a remarkable third win in this race and is in form at the right time, winning his last two at Menangle. The latest over 1 7/16m was particularly strong, suggesting he could have one more upset of his half-brother in the tank. Last-year's winner KINGMAN (4) has been building towards his title defence, coming in off two good efforts behind top mare Captains Mistress. He draws to be a player again. MARKETPLACE (11) draws awkwardly but is going well and looks best of the local hopes.

Palmerbet

Three Australian raiders — last year's runner-up, a two-time winner and the defending titleholder — hold the first three lines of betting, leaving the Kiwis hunting an upset. LEAP TO FAME (8) has won four straight, the latest by 6 metres at Albion Park, and, able to press forward off the front line, looks very hard to beat. SWAYZEE (6) has beaten his famous half-brother before, taken this race twice and arrives off successive Menangle wins, the latest by 17 metres over 2300m, making him the biggest threat. KINGMAN (4) defends his crown off two good runs behind Captains Mistress at Menangle and Melton, with gate four putting him right in the hunt. MARKETPLACE (11) won fresh three back, placed narrowly at his past two, latest over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway, and he is the leading local hope despite gate eleven. REPUBLICAN PARTY (10) went down 8 metres when second over 2400m at Kaikoura and his 12 wins at Addington make him the local wildcard.

Prices are each bookmaker's public price as MarketMover last read it, checked at 11:17 pm Sydney time; a dash is a book that has not opened this race yet. Prices move, and the bookmaker's own price is the one you get. The Model's price is MarketMover's own, from public prices and form: a price to compare against, not a tip; its record is public.
