ZALAU (4) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at second outing when runner-up behind dominant winner over 1220m at Launceston. Beautifully placed this easier company and has upside. Sure to be there at the finish. FIERCE SPIRIT (1) hasn't been far away in richer maidens, last start beaten 6 lengths into sixth. This suits and can improve sharply. FLYING HOME (6) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at this track over 1009m, beaten 7 lengths. Has upside though and looks a top-three chance. BUZZOFFSKI (5) is a two-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Hanseatic from Buzzing Along. Won only trial at Devonport Synthetic. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and is certainly worth considering. SCARLET BULLET (7) is a first starter by I Am Immortal out of My Lady's Chamber. Third at Devonport Synthetic at her only trial. Worth consideration.

At the latest run got back early 6th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 3 over 1009m, 6 len behind Tikken with 56kg at $26. The start before that 4th in a small field at Launceston 2yo SW on April 17 over 1220m, 14 len behind Aristopolos carrying 57kg at $21. Hard to beat on his best form.

Raced two times to date. At debut, ran last in a small field at Launceston 2yo-Hcp on April 3 over 1100m, 4 len behind Farmer's Son with 58kg at $6. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Launceston 2yo SW on April 17 over 1220m, 8 len behind Aristopolos with 57kg at $26. Coming along nicely and is expected to go close.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Leanne Gaffney trained two-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Looked good in a recent trial win. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks set for a bright start to her career.

At debut, 7th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 3 over 1009m, 7 len behind Tikken with 52kg at $19. Open to improvement. Fair debut but has upside and can sneak into the finish off the low draw at odds.
