Gosford Race 5

Viridian Advisory Hcp (C1)

Prize Money: $42,000

HUSH HUSH (3) returned from a five-month spell and was far too good in a 1300m maiden at Kembla last start. Maher-trained filly who has only raced twice and should get better as the distances get longer. Stick with her. CASTAGNOLA (1) met with heavy support and got the job done when fresh from a spell over 1400m at the Kensington track last time out. Promising three-year-old by So You Think so an extra furlong second-up looks ideal. Big chance to go back-to-back. I AM WILD (4) was five weeks between runs when a respectable third in a similar race to this last start. Again races off a similar break. Starting to hit her straps and cannot be ruled out. VALIANT BOMB (5) has been handy on straightening but failed to finish off at his last couple of runs, both on soft tracks. Much more at home on a good surface so he will be hard to catch if those conditions prevail. AIR KISS (7) hasn't really fired in three runs this prep but is probably looking for this trip now.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 3rd of 13 at Kembla Grange Mdn on January 3 over 1300m, 0.7 len behind Oui Flourish carrying 57.5kg at $13. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Randwick Kensington Mdn January 21 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Creator Of World carrying 57.5kg at $2.05. Heading the right way and looks hard to beat.

Third race start. Promising on debut 2nd of 7 at Warwick Farm 3yo Mdn on August 20 over 1100m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Burma Star with 55kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning won by 2.5 len at Kembla Grange Super Mdn-Sw January 22 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Derry City Felix with 55.5kg at $3. Still has scope for improvement and is sure to prove hard to beat in this tougher race.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up got back early 9th of 12 at Randwick Kensington F&M Bm64 on December 5 over 1400m, 6 len behind Virgil's Gift with 58.5kg at $41. Second-up sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track Cl1 on January 9 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Federal Reserve carrying 56kg at $12. Profiles nicely. Has ability and is expected to run well again.

Most recently 4th of 10 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on January 22 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Fast Track carrying 56.5kg at $7. The start before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 8 at Canterbury 3&4yo Bm64 on January 1 over 1550m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Golden Loom carrying 57.5kg at $11. Best form stacks up so definitely worth including out of the inside stall.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at Beaumont (Newcastle) F&M Bm64 on January 15 over 1350m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Miss Busslinger with 56kg at $151. The run before that second last of 7 at Wyong Cl1 on December 20 over 1350m, 7 len behind Justice Warrior carrying 55kg at $71. Can improve and is not out of contention.
