Was safely held in a BM66 at Geelong last week, finishing ninth and beaten eight and a half lengths after settling midfield and failing to close. Can do better although the weight is a leveller.

Comments

Resumes after four months off following a sound second in a BM66 at Sale, where he was slow away before working home evenly and finishing two and a half lengths from Zorro's Flight. The earlier Sandown-Lakeside BM70 run on heavy ground was below his best, but he has two wins around 1400m, a 3kg claim and two trials behind him. Has the ability and can run well fresh.

Worked home okay after covering ground and being bumped late when sixth in a BM66 at Geelong, beaten just over three lengths at long odds. That was a better effort than his last placing at the Heath, where he was unwanted and never threatened. Risking.

Finished ninth in a BM66 at Ballarat after knuckling shortly after the start and making no late impression. The start prior was much worse, beaten out of sight as favourite on heavy ground at Bendigo. Rough hope at best.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell with the best exposed quality in the race, having placed third in the G3 SA Fillies Classic before tackling the G1 Queensland Oaks. The Oaks run was well beaten at big odds, but she had start and equipment issues, and the overall standard of that campaign reads strongly for this. Sharpness the query but she finds a winnable race if ready.

Comments

Kept on from the rear when fifth at Cranbourne, beaten just over six lengths by Aradeo, after being unwanted enough in betting. Two back at Caulfield Heath he made only fair ground in a BM66. The positives are clear: he is three from six around 1400m and Daniel Stackhouse has an excellent record on him. Not the worst.

Has run third at both starts this campaign, most recently at Cranbourne when beaten four and a half lengths after jumping awkwardly and failing to quicken. The Pakenham Synthetic third prior was closer, beaten a length at generous odds. Not going badly but place best again.

Resumes after four months off following a consistent synthetic campaign, ending with a beaten-neck second as favourite at Pakenham Synthetic after racing wide early. He had won a BM66 at Ballarat Synthetic the run before, beating Ahab by just under two lengths. Strong claims if sharp enough at 1400m.

Comes back quickly after finishing last in a BM74 at Cranbourne, where he was there to strike but found little and was unwanted in the market. The Geelong run prior in BM66 grade was only fair, beaten just over five lengths from well back. Draw makes it no easier.

Returns on a 10-day back-up after finishing fifth as favourite at Kyneton, beaten just under two lengths after travelling handy and not quite finishing it off. The prior Pakenham Synthetic win was decisive, scoring by three and a half lengths from Sky Watcher. Can bounce back.
