TIME THIEF (2) made a winning start to his career landing a 2000m Yarmouth novice by 0.5L four weeks ago. Carries a weight penalty as a result however has every chance to overcome that. PEACE BELLE (3) produced an excellent performance when 3.25L fourth of six in a G3 contest (2800m) two back. Underwhelmed in the face of a much easier opportunity recently. Can bounce back. MASTERLY (1) was beaten 2L third on debut way back in September 2023 and hasn't been sighted since. Market watch and it would be no surprise if he figures knowing the ability of this trainer. WHY NOT ME (4) climbs in trip here after coming home fourth trying 1900m in latest.

Recent form sound. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Carlisle on August 19 over 2200m, 6 len behind Green Area with 61.5kg at $1.40. The run before that eased back early on 4th in a small field in the G3 Silver Cup Stakes at York on July 11 over 2800m, 3.5 len behind Mount Atlas carrying 56kg at $126. Nice effort last time. One of the major players.

Second-up. First start 2nd in a small field at Chelmsford on November 27 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Savannah Grey carrying 58kg at $6.50. Went for a spell before returning 4th in a small field at Wolverhampton on August 18 over 1900m, 6 len behind Franschhoek carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Third race start. First start 2nd of 8 at Ffos Las on June 17 over 2000m, slow going 5 len behind Lady Magu with 56kg at $29. Went for a break before returning 5th of 12 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 19 over 2400m, 6 len behind Liberate with 51.5kg at $21. That form suggests she needs a bit more time.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
