A field of 6 horses take on the marathon challenge of two miles firm turf here in New South Wales<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this week. A mixture up experienced marathon runners and a few suck-it-and-see types should prove to be an interesting combination in a numeriacally challenged field.

A scratch bred 5yo horse from Given Stables: Fire and Blood<\/SPAN><\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He still looks to be improving and has proven in the past that he has the stamina for this distance, though he would probably prefer slightly less as his front-running style does seem a little vulnerable in the straight.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He’s still not managed a stakes win and would do well to set that straight here.<\/o:p><\/P>

A scratch bred 5yo horse from New Slew Lodge<\/SPAN><\/B> bred by flippymom<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A very busy horse with 44 runs already under his belt he was as expected claimed as a 3yo in his first claiming start for $13,500.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He’s looked ok i the past over 12 to 14 furlongs and struggled over the full 2 miles, albeit in a G1 race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He’s probably beginning to fade a little after so much racing and is not one to put too much faith in. <\/o:p><\/P>

A 5yo horse from Madhibby Racing<\/SPAN><\/B> bred from a C class mare (Roman Bonnie<\/B>).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He’s only been lightly raced and this is a big step up in distance for him and I’m not convinced that he will find it to his liking too much.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His last race was his first run for almost exactly a year and that win will have given his trainer a huge amount of pleasure, so it will be interesting to see if he has anything else up his sleeve.<\/o:p><\/P>

A 5yo horse from Bullish Luck Lodge<\/SPAN><\/B> from a G class mare and half brother to an interesting 3yo filly, Best There Is(IRE)<\/B>. He won a couple of stakes races over this distance last year but his big G1 chance ended in tears.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Only tried over 13 furlongs so far this year so he may well be in good order to challenge the favourite over the last couple of furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It should provide an interesting conclusion to the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/P>
