Doesn't win often but he's been mighty close lately in stronger fields.
Selections: 6-7-8-5
Racing well enough in much stronger middle distance fields. Ran a good second here early in his career despite being a bit unsure of himself.
Selections: 1-4-6-5
Convincing 520m win on debut on Friday. This is very different but his ability should carry him a long way. 7 Devito's Tip has run two of his better races here. Exotics booster.
Selections: 2-7-4-1
Another fast win at Hatrick on Friday. Has a strong record down the straight.
Selections: 2-7-5-6
Unbeaten in three starts here recording super times in the process. This is his toughest test but he looks up to it.
Selections: 1-3-6-5
Put away a handy maiden field down the straight on debut & looked very good here on December 2 when first past the post in what turned out to be an abandoned race because of an unfair start. Through every multi.
Selections: 4-3-7-2
Trialled well enough at Hatrick on Friday to suggest that he is forward for his resumption on a track that has been good for him. 6 Run the Gaunlet will be powering home as he did to win over 520m on Friday. Fourth in a messy race in his only try on this surface.
Selections: 3-6-4-1
Came from last to win here earlier this month. Has room to move here. 2 Cliff Top Vinnie is a grading special dropping back to c2 after running third in a c4 field on Friday.
Selections: 5-2-1-8
Overcame a slow start to finish second here four starts back in his first defeat down the straight in three attempts. OK since in stronger middle distance fields.
Selections: 1-8-3-5
Quality chaser has started to mix up her starts. Second to a form dog in her only straight track start earlier this month. 8 Double Cash was an easy winner at the last meeting here.
Selections: 1-8-2-5
Second to a smart one here four starts back. This is a huge drop in quality of field that she has been facing. Quaddie anchor.
Selections: 1-6-7-5
Fifth in a strong field in her only straight track outing. Solid placings of late although she has burned punters a time or two.
Selections: 3-2-8-7
Best: Zeus's Magic
Next: Spin Me Round
Value: Bora Bora
