FIRST DANCE (9) has been racing well at this circuit of late and added to a string of top-four finishes when third at her latest appearance. Looks close to a win and if things go her way she is good enough to take this out. SMART AND MIGHTY (2) finished second at this circuit at his Australian debut before he worked forward to lead from a wider barrier when scoring by 4.5m last time at Shepparton last start. Player again from a good draw. GHOST OF TIME (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 13 metres when resuming at Shepparton. VEE EM GEE MACRAY (3) resumes after six-and-a-half months but the form last time in was sound and had been readied with two trials. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Resuming after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 3.5 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Magnetic Terror at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 79 on December 9 at $4. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.2 m as favourite (Sr1) at Maryborough (2:42.20) beating Saint Win in 3yo+ NR up to 53 on May 12 2023 at $1.45. Must be respected.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Sr1) over 2240m at this track was 5th-8.42 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Son Of Mac (2:42.30) in NR up to 89 on June 22 at $10. Before that beaten 17 metres, fifth at this track over 1720m NR 70 to 79 on June 15. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Only had 3 starts last preparation. Returned to racing with a handy win posted a big 13 m win when quickly away, (Fr6) at Shepparton (2:38.60) beating Mongiana in NR up to 70 on June 20 at $3.90 at the bell was leading 3.73. Worth sticking after that fine return last time.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Operative Line at this track over 2240m in a NR 77 to 89 on June 8 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Vanquish Stride at this track over 1720m in a NR 80 to 89 on June 15 at $2.50. Strong winning hope.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
