Last start 2nd of 10 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on January 5 over 2046m, 2.5 len behind Toscana Rising carrying 59.5kg at $16. Before that got back early 8th of 12 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on December 18 over 2000m, 6 len behind Amphactor with 59.5kg at $101. Made sharp improvement last start and this trip should suit. Can figure in the finish.

Last start 5th of 8 at Great Western Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Perficere carrying 59.5kg at $3.80.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 2387m, 11 len behind Jugan carrying 59.5kg at $41. The race before that 9th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 13 over 2265m, 9 len behind Needsaname carrying 59.5kg at $21. Unlikely to be figuring her based on recent form.

Last start 5th of 8 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 15 over 2050m, 5 len behind Sweet Liaison carrying 59.5kg at $9. The race before that 4th of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 4 over 2200m, 4 len behind Monks carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Thereabouts at his last three. Gets to the right race now. In the mix with the Blinkers going on.

At the latest run second last of 9 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1600m, 18 len behind Dillinger carrying 59.5kg at $101. The race before that second last of 11 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on January 6 over 1600m, 8 len behind Listen To Maurice with 56.5kg at $151. May be suited up in trip but needs plenty of improvement to get into the finish.

Going well. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 2000m, 6 len behind Irving Again carrying 58kg at $15. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Stony Creek Mdn-Sw on December 27 over 1700m, 7 len behind Abrupt carrying 58kg at $5.50. Stuck to his task well last start when placing. Rates among the main hopes out to this trip.

At the latest run 5th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 13 over 2265m, 4.5 len behind Needsaname carrying 57.5kg at $61. The run before that 4th of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 6 over 2520m, 12 len behind Calvi carrying 57.5kg at $26. One for the wider exotics based on his latest effort.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on January 5 over 2046m, 3 len behind Toscana Rising carrying 57.5kg at $51. The start before that eased back early on 5th of 10 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on December 15 over 1850m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Majestic Style with 57.5kg at $81. Better effort last start when extending in trip. Could surprise with the Blinkers off.

At the latest run 7th of 11 at Camperdown Mdn-Sw on January 21 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Treasury Place carrying 54.5kg at $11. Before that 2nd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 4 over 2200m, 2.25 len behind Monks carrying 57.5kg at $5. Races well at the track and gets his chance to break through.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on December 28 over 1200m, long-neck behind Arctic Eagle with 59.5kg at $5. Second-up 4th of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 13 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Extravagant Choice carrying 59.5kg at $3.50. Progressing nicely and a win here wouldn't surprise.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran last of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1400m, 13 len behind Attrition with 59.5kg at $16. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1600m, in the wet; 4 len behind Silver Tycoon carrying 59.5kg at $2.30. Failed to figure last start. A lesser chance.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 11 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on January 19 over 1200m, 9 len behind Marble Arch carrying 59.5kg at $151. The start before that 6th of 11 at Terang 4Ymdn-Sw on January 2 over 1200m, 8 len behind Nevada Breeze with 59.5kg at $26. Not going well enough to feature here.

Third-up today. Resuming 2nd of 11 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on December 22 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind End Of Winter with 58kg at $5. Second-up 4th of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1200m, 2 len behind Ebony King carrying 58kg at $9.50. Progressing nicely this time in and looks ideally placed to break through from the good gate.

First-starter by Savabeel out of Goddess Of Love purchased for AUD $ 130,000 (Inglis 2021 Australian Easter Yearling Sale). The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Bred to need more time. Watch for later.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Vancouver out of Legible. Third in a Warwick Farm trial over 740m on March 11 then followed up with a fifth over 900m in a Rosehill trial on March 22. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Well related and a forward showing can be expected.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when slowly away; with blinkers first time; in a small field at Ballarat 2Ycg&E Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1100m, 10 len behind Zamborghini with 58kg at $6.50. First up from a long break. Gets the Blinkers on and open to improvement but others are preferred.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 9 at Mornington 3Y Mdn-Sw on December 28 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Proprietary carrying 58kg at $4.50. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Attrition carrying 58kg at $10. Chased home a smart type in town last start which reads very well for this.

First-starter by Zoustar out of Nurse Kitchen. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Stable is on fire and he can't be underestimated.

By Highland Reel out of Delisha on debut. Purchased for AUD $ 75,000 (Inglis 2021 Ready2Race Sale). The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Creates interest on debut for a leading yard. Don't take lightly.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second of 10 at Sale 3Y Mdn-Sw September 1 over 1427m, soft track; a nose behind Muramasa carrying 58kg at $4.50. On debut slowly away and crowded early on; fifth of 8 at this track 2Y Mdn-Sw July 15 over 1100m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Atmosphere with 58kg at $15. Has the form to take this out fresh. Worth plenty of thought.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when eased near 800m; 4th in a small field at Te Rapa in the LR Fasttrack on November 20 2021 over 1100m, 10 len behind Bright Blue Sky with 56.5kg at $16.80. Wasn't disgraced at Listed level prior to a long spell. Any market moves could prove significant.

First-starter by Pierro out of Danex. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Bred to appreciate more time and distance. Watch for later.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign fourth of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside 3Y Mdn-Sw August 24 over 1200m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Japanese Emperor carrying 58kg at $8. When resuming last campaign began awkwardly and held up near 500m; sixth of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 8 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Merry Mac Boy carrying 57kg at $4.50. Yet to place but is in the mix here with natural improvement resuming.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Moe 3Y Mdn-Sw on January 15 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Gold Revolver carrying 58kg at $13. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at this track 2Y Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Atmosphere with 58kg at $12. Resumed with a close up second last start. Look for another forward showing here with added fitness.

Resuming after a break; only one run when eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside 3Y Mdn-Sw on August 31 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Elkington Road carrying 58kg at $3.50. Looks well placed to resume a winner.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Prudden carrying 53kg at $4.50. The start before that with blinkers first time; 4th of 11 at Wangaratta 3Y Mdn-Sw on December 30 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Etienne with 56kg at $10. Thereabouts lately including a placing last start but others appear to have stronger winning claims.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when began awkwardly; 9th of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic 3Y Mdn-Sw on July 19 over 1200m, 13 len behind Vittoria Colonna with 58kg at $41. First up. Prefer to see again getting onto the turf.

Second-up. First start began awkwardly; sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Gosford Mdn on October 7 2021 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Illustrating Law with 56.5kg at $5.50. Returned from break 4th of 10 at Yarra Valley 4Ymdn-Sw on January 10 over 1000m, 2 len behind Gojira with 59.5kg at $11. Caught the eye late last start when resuming from a long break. Creates plenty of interest with added fitness.

Gelding back from a spell of eight months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation eighth of 12 at Moe Mdn-Sw June 5 over 1628m, soft track; 12 len behind My Brilliant Choix with 59.5kg at $4. First up last campaign began awkwardly; seventh of 12 at Warrnambool 2Up Mdn-Sw May 3 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind Mio Capo with 59.5kg at $4.50. First up form on firmer footing is very good. Looks over the odds in early markets.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation fifth of 11 at Echuca 3Y Mdn-Sw July 29 over 1300m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Mr News carrying 58kg at $6.50. On debut laid in in the straight; third of 9 at Bendigo 3Y Mdn-Sw April 20 over 1100m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Solstice with 58kg at $5. Looks well placed to return a winner.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Freshened for 42 days. First-up ran last of 9 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on December 3 over 1100m, 14 len behind Anilla carrying 59.5kg at $17. Last start second last of 10 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on December 18 over 1100m, 9 len behind General Knowledge carrying 59.5kg at $26. Two runs back from a spell have been plain. Looking to others.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished away; ran last of 12 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw August 13 over 1300m, in the wet; 11 len behind Star Buyer carrying 59.5kg at $17. On debut began awkwardly and laid in in the straight; eighth of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic 3Y Mdn-Sw July 28 over 1100m, 6 len behind Coaxial carrying 58kg at $16. First up. Can't recommend on what he's shown to date.

Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign eighth of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw August 28 over 1217m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Tycoon Commander with 59.5kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign second of 9 at Echuca 3Y Mdn-Sw June 2 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.3 len behind Super Aurora with 58kg at $6.50. First up form is sound and firmer footing will suit. In the mix.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 5th of 11 at Canberra Mdn on March 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Memorialise with 56.5kg at $3.80. Finds the right race resuming. Creates plenty of interest.

Five-year-old mare by No Nay Never out of Maid To Believe who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Purchased for GNS 270,000 (Tattersalls 2019 October Yearling Sale Book 2). The market will be the best guide to her chances on debut. Bred to appreciate more time and distance. Watch for later.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Ballarat 3Y Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1200m, on heavy track; 11 len behind Heavenly Eagle with 56kg at $9. Went for a spell before returning second last of 8 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on January 8 over 1000m, 6 len behind Rock Diamond carrying 54.5kg at $101. Fitter second up but others have stronger winning claims.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 7th of 9 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on September 21 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Algendy carrying 57.5kg at $26. First up. Capable of sharp improvement getting onto better going. Prefer to see again.

Most recently with blinkers first time; 11th of 14 at Terang Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 1400m, 13 len behind Soho Queen carrying 59.5kg at $101. The run before that 11th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 16 over 1209m, 8 len behind Belthil with 59.5kg at $101. Yet to place and that looks unlikely to change here.

Most recently second last of 8 at Mt Gambier 2Up Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 900m, 2.25 len behind Flashy Czarina with 53kg at $26. Before that ran last of 10 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on January 6 over 1100m, 10 len behind Vienna Vixen carrying 54.5kg at $101. Better effort last start but this race looks too tough.

Useful type. At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on January 7 over 1800m, 12 len behind Riverplate carrying 59kg at $16. Before that won by 5.5 len at Cranbourne 0 - 64 December 23 over 1600m defeating Luna Diva carrying 60kg at $10. Forgive last start in town and go on his very good win the start prior. Appeals each way.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 37 days. Last start ran last of 12 at Cranbourne Cl1 on December 23 over 1400m, 17 len behind Girello carrying 61.5kg at $12. At only start last preparation ran last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on July 27 over 1800m, in the wet; 8 len behind Fengarada carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. Getting fitter and improvement expected. Wait till he gets to 2000m and beyond.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up came from last and 5th of 9 at Moonee Valley Bm70 on December 24 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Rambler Rebel carrying 57kg at $11. Last start 2nd of 10 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on January 11 over 1800m, 1.5 len behind Marcolt carrying 60kg at $3. Ready to win third up after just peaking late in town last start behind a handy type. Looks the one to beat.

Most recently got back early 9th of 14 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on January 18 over 1600m, slow going 8 len behind Electric Belle with 60.5kg at $67. The start before that got back early 10th of 13 at Flemington 4Up Bm70 on January 1 over 1400m, 7 len behind Obfuscation carrying 58kg at $151. Best recent form has been on tracks with give but he's going better than his form card suggests. Could surprise.

Second-up. First-up after six months favourite; won by 1.3 len at Terang Bm58 January 2 over 1600m defeating Rapinoe carrying 60kg at $3. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 (got its head up; raced wide without cover; poor recovery) at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1600m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Naval Seal with 57.5kg at $1.70. Returned a winner last start. No reason why she can't go close again.

Last start eased back early on 9th of 12 at Warrnambool 0 - 64 on January 8 over 1700m, 5.5 len behind Lottacheex with 59kg at $16. The start before that 5th of 14 at Warrnambool Bm64 on December 31 over 1700m, 5 len behind Prospectus with 59.5kg at $26. Query at the trip and others have stronger winning claims.

At the latest run 7th of 10 at Pakenham 0 - 64 on January 19 over 1600m, 8 len behind Jenniferwish with 59kg at $101. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at Werribee 0 - 64 on December 4 over 1600m, 6 len behind Mister Businessman with 59.5kg at $61. Ready to do something fourth up but looks likely to struggle again.

Third-up today. First-up won by 0.8 len at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw December 22 over 1590m defeating Harlem Nic with 59.5kg at $4. Second-up 7th of 10 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on January 11 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Marcolt with 59kg at $19. Wasn't disgraced in town last start and looks well placed to return to winning ways.

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 8 at Warrnambool Bm64 on December 8 over 1700m, 10 len behind Prospectus carrying 58kg at $26. Second run from a spell 5th of 10 at Naracoorte Bm62 on December 29 over 2000m, 3 len behind Black Syrah carrying 59kg at $8.50. Gets to the right race now and is worth including in the multiples.

Last start won by 1.5 len at Pakenham Mdn-Sw January 19 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Go Woody carrying 59.5kg at $11. The run before that 6th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 4 over 1700m, 4 len behind Mr I'm A Believer carrying 59.5kg at $19. Stuck his task well last start when running out an impressive winner. This trip should suit better. Looks hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Camperdown 0 - 58 on January 21 over 2200m, 0.8 len behind Jumpin' Jaguar carrying 60kg at $2.40. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Terang Bm58 on January 2 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Jenniferenti carrying 60kg at $14. Has improved nicely at his past two when rising in trip. In the mix again.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 0.8 len at Camperdown 0 - 58 January 21 over 2200m defeating Italian Poet carrying 58kg at $7.50. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Werribee 0 - 58 on January 7 over 2658m, long-neck behind Mr Mischief carrying 58.5kg at $10. Has found his best form in recent runs. No reason why he can't go close again.

Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 2 len at this track Mdn-Sw January 13 over 2265m defeating Scrambler with 59.5kg at $11. The race before that 8th of 13 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on December 31 over 2000m, 8 len behind Moetman carrying 59.5kg at $41. Impressed when breaking through at this track last start. Don't take lightly.

At the latest run 8th of 12 at Cranbourne Bm70 on January 13 over 3000m, 10 len behind Monreal with 53.5kg at $13. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track Bm58 on December 16 over 2412m, nose behind Resolutions carrying 60kg at $2.90. Best recent run was two starts ago in a similar race at this track. Appeals each way.

At the latest run ran last of 12 at Kilmore 0 - 58 on January 14 over 2000m, 11 len behind Yulara with 59kg at $12. The start before that second last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on December 26 over 1800m, 10 len behind St Lawrence with 52kg at $81. Best recent run was a placing at this track but others have stronger winning claims.

Last start 8th of 12 at Stawell Bm58 on January 6 over 1850m, 9 len behind Alchian with 59.5kg at $4.50. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Werribee Bm64 on December 18 over 2000m, 6 len behind Adonis Kick with 57.5kg at $9.50. Likely to make her own luck out in front but struggling to find her best form. Prefer a place.

At the latest run got back early 6th of 12 at Kilmore 0 - 58 on January 14 over 2000m, 7 len behind Yulara with 55kg at $51. The start before that ran last of 7 at Woolamai Pic-Trpy on December 31 over 1508m, 5.5 len behind See It All carrying 65kg at $4. Doesn't win out of turn and a place appears his best prospect.

Last start ran last of 12 at Cranbourne Bm70 on January 13 over 3000m, 24 len behind Monreal carrying 55kg at $151. Before that 4th of 8 at this track 0 - 58 on December 26 over 2447m, 2.5 len behind Jumpin' Jaguar carrying 52kg at $61. This race suits better but he's unlikely to be fighting out the finish.

Second run back. First-up after two months won by 2.75 len at this track Bm58 January 13 over 1343m defeating Karatemiss carrying 60kg at $4. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Daralina Belle carrying 58kg at $31. Ran out an easy winner at this track last start. A leading hope again here getting conditions to suit.

Useful entire. Last start 3rd of 7 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on January 18 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Miso carrying 59kg at $21. The race before that 9th of 14 at this track Bm64 on January 4 over 1300m, 5 len behind Savvy Sovereign with 61.5kg at $41. Working up to a win. Likely to give them a start and best form has been on track with give. Prefer a place.

Second-up. First-up after nine months 5th of 8 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on January 11 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Joltin' Joe carrying 61kg at $11. Previously second-up taken back from wide barrier; 2nd of 7 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1200m, 2 len behind Dinkum with 59kg at $3.80. Encouraging effort when resuming in town last start. Likes the track and drawn ideally. Worth plenty of thought.

Useful gelding. Most recently did the work up front then tired 6th of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 on January 11 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Sonora with 58.5kg at $26. The run before that 9th of 14 at Moonee Valley Bm70 on December 24 over 1200m, 5 len behind Magnum Bullet carrying 59kg at $51. Thereabouts this time in but a place appears his best prospect.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 2.25 len at Yarra Valley Bm58 January 10 over 1500m defeating Freddy Mac with 61kg at $3.30. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Benalla Bm58 on December 17 over 1406m, nose behind Red Impulse with 61kg at $6.50. Faces a task to get to the speed from the gate but is racing well. Don't take lightly.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at Sale Bm64 October 23 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Starspangled Baby carrying 59.5kg at $10. Previous preparation first-up won by a head Mildura Bm64 July 22 over 1400m defeating Dothraki carrying 58.5kg at $3.80. First up form is good. Open to improvement and is would be no surprise to see him feature here.

At the latest run 7th of 14 at this track Bm64 on January 4 over 1300m, 4 len behind Savvy Sovereign with 59.5kg at $26. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Werribee Bm64 on December 4 over 1400m, 2 len behind Golden Vitrine carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Racing well and another win isn't far away. Not the worst.

Resuming after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at Newcastle 3&4Yo Bm68 September 16 over 1600m, soft track; 19 len behind Communist with 58.5kg at $26. When resuming last campaign began awkwardly; ran last in a small field at Canterbury 3Y Bm64 July 7 over 1250m, on heavy track; 13 len behind Morioka with 60.5kg at $17. First up for a new yard. Prefer to see again but a forward showing wouldn't surprise.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up second last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on December 7 over 1300m, 8 len behind Forbidden City carrying 59.5kg at $12. Second run from a spell got back early with blinkers first time; 6th of 10 at Cranbourne F&M Bm64 on January 6 over 1400m, 5 len behind She's Notorious carrying 61kg at $9.50. Lost her chance at the start last time out. Capable of sharp improvement third up from a long break.

Second-up. First-up after six months favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 2.75 len at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw January 11 over 1400m defeating Brazen Kingdom with 58kg at $3. Previously second-up too wet; 3rd of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 2Y Hcp on July 27 over 1300m, in the wet; 1.2 len behind Michelotti with 57kg at $2.30. Impressed when an easy winner resuming in town last start. Looks well placed to repeat the dose.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Stawell 0 - 58 December 3 over 1100m defeating Sir Domigo with 60kg at $2. Second run from a spell 5th of 12 at Stawell Bm58 on January 6 over 1100m, 6 len behind Francine with 62kg at $3.30. Wasn't disgraced a handy race last start a place is preferred here.
