Flemington
- Race 2: #8 Verimli (1 Unit Win / 2 Units Place – $11.00 / $3.10)
Poor at Caulfield but either side have been good performances. Placed up to 2800m in France. Chance.
- Race 3: #4 Ascension (2 Units Win – $4.40)
Had a task at The Valley against the pattern. Sat closer at Caulfield, got clear air, tough win. Confidence boost!
- Race 4: #3 Dashing (1 Unit Win / 4 Units Place – $6.00 / $2.05)
Led and terrific in the Caulfield Guineas. Led the Vase last week and held on well again. 1800m looks perfect.
- Race 6: #1 Just Folk (2 Units Win / 4 Units Place – $6.00 / $2.25)
Terrific at Group 3 level last time when just no match for the flying Cascadian. Ticked the 1800m box. Chance.
- Race 8: #18 Star Of Chaos (1 Unit Win / 1 Unit Place – 61.00 / $14.00)
Expected a bit more first up as her other first-up form is good. Did revel on a heavy track last prep.
- Race 9: #3 Literary Magnate (2 Units Win / 4 Units Place – $7.00 / $2.50)
No surprise to see her win a good race first up. She was well backed. 1400m suits. Capable all conditions.
- Race 10: #8 Hi Stranger (1 Unit Win / 2 Units Place – $21.00 / $5.00)
One placing from six track/trip starts. He’s usually an eye-catcher for another race. Very wet would help.

- Race 3: #7 Quick Tempo (1 Unit Win – 4 Units Place – $5.50 / $2.05)
Blew start 1100m two back and ran on then steady 1100m latest, both on soft. Resumes and three of five wins 1000m.
- Race 5: #6 Aleas (1 Unit Win / 2 Units Place – $23.00 / $6.00)
Trialled pleasingly before latest midfield 1500m here on soft at odds. Clearly fitter and good record 1600m. Improver.
- Race 6: #9 Ita (2 Units Win / 4 Units Place – $6.50 / $2.40)
Honest sort who tried hard after racing wide 1600m Angst last week. Won 1400m here on soft in Sept. Can’t undersell.
- Race 7: #3 Southern Lad (1 Unit Win – 2 Units Place – $23.00 / $4.40)
Ex-J.O’Shea. Ran 3.12len 7th of 9, Oct 21, R’hill 900m trial on soft to Vreneli in 54.46. Won three times 1st-up.
- Race 8: #9 Cavalier Charles (4 Units Win – $3.70)
Bit unlucky fresh 1200m here on soft then ran on 1200m here on soft 2nd-up. Nicely tuned now and fully entertained
- Race 9: #5 Bullfinch (2 Units Win / 5 Units Place – $12.00 / $3.50)
Last all the way fresh but held ground and under two lengths off winner EFM 1200m. Keep under guard this trip now.
