Swan Hill 21 November 2021

Second run back. First-up after six months sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 at Albury Mdn Plate on November 5 over 900m, slow going 0.5 len behind Zoulon carrying 59kg at $21. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Ballarat 3yo+ Mdn on April 28 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Who Runs The World carrying 59kg at $67. Fitter and worth including.

Resuming after five months. Finished off last preparation second last of 12 at Donald Mdn Plate June 19 over 1624m, soft track; 10 len behind Cru Classe carrying 59.5kg at $17. First up last campaign overraced middle stages and hung out during race; fourth of 9 at Mildura 3yo+ Mdn April 12 over 1400m, 4 len behind Wolf Whistle carrying 59kg at $3. Winning chance while fresh.

Was at long odds at debut, began awkwardly and keen; 7th of 9 at Benalla 3yo Mdn on November 7 over 1112m, 8 len behind Fly On Bye carrying 58kg at $26. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Last start raced wide without cover; 3rd of 9 at Corowa Mdn Plate on November 1 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Fighting Kayo carrying 54kg at $11. Before that wide throughout; second last of 14 at Albury Mdn on October 23 over 900m, 4 len behind Grigio with 54kg at $7.50. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign 4th of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn Plate on June 30 2020 over 1000m, 4 len behind Catadude with 57.5kg at $61. First up last campaign 7th of 9 at Mornington 3yf Mdn on December 29 2019 over 1000m, 10 len behind Score carrying 57kg at $17. Ran 3rd in a Benalla trial over 1000m on November 8. Win would surprise.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 8 at this track 3yo+ Mdn Plate on October 26 over 975m, 8 len behind Moon And Back carrying 57.5kg at $11. Last start ran last of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1000m, 14 len behind Gerald carrying 57.5kg at $31. Will be doing best work late.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 11 at Port Macquarie Mdn July 3 over 1212m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Em Em D'ar carrying 57kg at $13. On debut second last of 9 at Gosford Mdn Plate April 25 over 900m, 10 len behind Pacific Ocean carrying 56.5kg at $9. Not without claims first-up.

At debut, ran last of 9 at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn on October 23 over 1000m, in the wet; 17 len behind Corvino with 56kg at $21. Can do better. Strong chance in this line-up.

Raced two times to date. At debut, struck interference at start; 6th of 9 at Donald 3yo F Mdn on September 12 over 1200m, 4 len behind Boss Queen carrying 57kg at $10. Second-up began awkwardly and wide throughout; 5th of 7 at Mildura 3yo Mdn on October 5 over 1200m, 2 len behind Sizzling Sonata with 55kg at $26. Capable of a strong showing.

Second-up. First-up after seven months slowly away; eased back early on 6th of 9 at Corowa Mdn Plate on November 1 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Fighting Kayo with 59kg at $16. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Stawell 3yo+ Mdn Plate on March 5 over 1300m, 5 len behind Bold Manner with 59.5kg at $17. Unlikely to threaten.

At debut, 3rd of 10 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on November 3 over 1106m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Coeur De Paris carrying 59.5kg at $17. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign crowded near 1600m; sixth of 10 at Mildura 3yo+ Mdn July 23 over 2000m, soft track; 11 len behind Hot Suspect with 59.5kg at $21. On debut struck interference at start and lost a plate; second last of 14 at Murray Bridge 2yo+ Mdn Plate April 21 over 1600m, 7 len behind Samurai Moon with 57kg at $67. Looks tested on form from last campaign.

Second run back. First-up after 11 months sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at St Arnaud 3yo+ Mdn on October 24 over 1100m, 12 len behind Are You Gold Enuff carrying 59.5kg at $81. Previously second-up second last of 13 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn on November 22 over 1600m, 17 len behind Adonis Kick with 59.5kg at $101. Unlikely to threaten.

Second-up. First-up after five months began awkwardly; ran last of 10 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on November 3 over 1106m, slow going 10 len behind Coeur De Paris with 59.5kg at $51. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Kyneton Mdn Plate on May 3 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind King Dick carrying 59.5kg at $51. Fitter and can improve.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 8 at this track 3yo+ Mdn Plate on October 26 over 975m, 4.5 len behind Moon And Back with 57.5kg at $21. Second-up wide throughout; 6th of 8 at Dunkeld 4yo+ Mdn Plate on November 13 over 1000m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Apsara with 57.5kg at $31. Win doesn't look likely.

At debut, laid out in straight; second last of 8 at this track 3yo+ Mdn Plate on October 26 over 975m, 8 len behind Moon And Back carrying 57.5kg at $17. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign tenth of 14 at this track 2&3yo Mdn June 13 over 1600m, 8 len behind Almsgiver with 57.5kg at $101. Previously first up; sixth of 9 at Tocumwal Mdn Plate April 3 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Fiery Dancer carrying 58.5kg at $9. Looking to others.

Recent form sound. Last start held up near 300m; 3rd of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Gerald carrying 59.5kg at $8. The start before that 4th of 9 at Wodonga 3yo+ Mdn on October 17 over 1100m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Riddlero carrying 59.5kg at $26. Near miss last start. Right in the mix.

On debut. Four-year-old gelding by Ready For Victory out of Tigress Joy. Trialled a while ago when seventh on September 20 at Tatura over 850m. Trained here. Consider.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign when queried; ran last of 10 at Bendigo Mdn May 16 over 1600m, soft track; 14 len behind Lord Wonder carrying 59.5kg at $101. Previously first up; eased near 1000m; fifth of 10 at Kerang 3yo+ Mdn April 3 over 1400m, 5 len behind Danger In The Past carrying 59.5kg at $6. Prefer others.

Second run back. First-up after eight months eased back early on 7th of 11 (began awkwardly; keen; hung out on straightening) at Benalla 3yo+ Mdn on November 7 over 1212m, 3 len behind All's Fair carrying 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up raced on the pace before fading 11th of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1200m, 3 len behind Ozone carrying 59.5kg at $41. Should progress from first-up run.

Since last run he has trialed at Benalla trial over 1000m on 8/11/2021; Last run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Donald 3yo Mdn on October 10 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Bay Of Islands carrying 58kg at $4.80. The run before seventh of 13 at Benalla 3yo+ Mdn September 26 over 1206m, 2.25 len behind Boom Express carrying 57kg at $6. Draws a nice alley and rates highly.

Second-up. First-up after six months began awkwardly and blundered near 400m; eased back early on 11th of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind Gerald with 53.5kg at $51. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn Plate on March 19 over 1450m, 5.5 len behind Peejay's Off with 57.5kg at $81. Unlikely to threaten.

Third-up today. First-up began awkwardly and checked near 1000m; 5th of 13 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on October 26 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Fabrikka carrying 59.5kg at $3. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Hamilton Mdn on November 9 over 1409m, long-neck behind Guaranteed carrying 59.5kg at $2.40. Strong winning hope.

Third-up today. First-up second last of 13 at Sale 4yo+ Mdn on October 24 over 1400m, slow going 12 len behind Shezadandi carrying 59.5kg at $101. Second-up did the work up front then tired with blinkers first time; 6th of 9 at Bendigo 3yo+ Mdn on November 10 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Swahili carrying 59.5kg at $31. This is well within his grasp.

Most recently 5th of 9 at Tumut Mdn on October 30 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Little Wand with 59kg at $5. The race before that couldn't go on with it; 8th of 11 at Wagga Mdn on October 16 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Pillar Of Strength carrying 56kg at $101. Further improvement is anticipated.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 11th of 13 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on October 26 over 1300m, 11 len behind Fabrikka with 59.5kg at $61. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign when last of 11 at Mildura Mdn Plate May 30 over 1400m, 20 len behind Bygone Era with 57.5kg at $101. Previously first up; seventh of 10 (pre race incident; passed fit at barrier; keen) at this track 3yo+ Mdn November 25 over 975m, 7 len behind Flash Freddie carrying 57.5kg at $67. Prepared to watch.

Last start ran last of 7 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn on November 4 over 1300m, 9 len behind Regal Rave with 57.5kg at $31. Before that ran last of 9 at Horsham 3yo+ Mdn on September 20 over 1800m, on a slow track; 38 len behind Fighting Sweet with 57.5kg at $201. This looks too tough.

Second-up. First-up after six months 7th of 13 at Ballarat Mdn on November 1 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Wangoom carrying 57.5kg at $17. Previously second-up wide early stages and shifted out near 1000m; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Pakenham 3yo+ F&M Mdn on April 15 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Spooning carrying 57.5kg at $6. Worth another chance.

Most recently 6th of 12 at Donald 4yo+ Mdn on November 14 over 1350m, 1.75 len behind Themagicneverends with 57.5kg at $81. Before that 7th of 9 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on October 26 over 1600m, 8 len behind Little Faifo carrying 57.5kg at $31. Not one of the top selections.

Most recently began awkwardly; 4th of 11 at Bendigo 3yo+ F&M Mdn on November 10 over 1500m, slow going 3 len behind Needlework carrying 58kg at $31. Before that wide throughout; second last of 11 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1200m, 9 len behind Otelo carrying 57.5kg at $51. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Racing well. At the latest run got back early 3rd in a small field at Benalla 3yo+ Hcp (58) on November 7 over 1612m, 1.5 len behind Benjamery carrying 60kg at $2.80. The start before that 4th of 8 at Wycheproof 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Dixie Built carrying 58kg at $4. Further improvement is anticipated.

Second run back. First-up after seven months slowly away; 11th of 13 at Donald (Bm64) on November 14 over 1200m, 6 len behind Danny's St Darci with 58kg at $151. Previously second-up rider concerned with action; ran last of 11 at Mildura 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 26 over 1400m, 18 len behind The Enzo with 63kg at $7.50. Must improve significantly.

Last start crowded near 200m; raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 26 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind The Enzo carrying 60kg at $9. The run before that 9th of 12 at Bendigo 3yo+ Hcp (58) on October 16 over 1600m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Buchan Hoaks with 57kg at $12. Another bold run is expected.

Racing well. Last start slowly away and laid out near 1000m; 3rd of 8 at Wycheproof 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 30 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Dixie Built with 56kg at $6. The race before that eased near 1400m and eased near 1200m; 4th of 10 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 26 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind The Enzo carrying 60kg at $5.50. Sure to be around the mark.

Second-up. First-up after three months laid out on straightening; 6th of 8 at Benalla 3yo+ Hcp (58) on November 7 over 1412m, 6 len behind Hard Squeeze with 56.5kg at $11. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Ballarat Mdn Plate May 19 over 1500m in the wet defeating Golden Banner with 57.5kg at $6. Must improve significantly.

At the latest run settled back, ran on when 5th of 10 (keen; held up near 600m; lacerations) at Donald (Bm64) on November 14 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Resurge with 54.5kg at $26. The start before that 5th of 7 at Kyneton 3yo+ (Bm64) on November 3 over 1862m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Holster carrying 55kg at $13. Drawn to advantage and looks a solid chance.

At the latest run held up near 500m and laid out in straight; second last in a small field at Benalla 3yo+ Hcp (58) on November 7 over 1612m, 4.5 len behind Benjamery with 57kg at $12. The race before that raced three wide; sat on the speed throughout before fading 12th of 14 at Donald 3yo+ Hcp (58) on October 10 over 1350m, 9 len behind Play On Words carrying 58kg at $26. Fully tested on his recent run.

Most recently wide throughout and checked near 500m; 8th of 11 at Benalla 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 25 over 1406m, 4.5 len behind Donndubhan carrying 59kg at $21. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Bendigo 3yo+ Hcp (58) on October 16 over 1400m, slow going 1.0 len behind Ever Loved A Woman carrying 57kg at $26. Hard to envisage a win today.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Wangaratta 3yo+ (Bm52) November 4 over 2000m defeating Chattering with 54kg at $4.30. The run before that 4th of 8 at Wycheproof (Bm52) on October 30 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Davelliom with 57.5kg at $8.50. Rates highly and expected to go well again.

Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on November 2 over 1400m, 4 len behind Hendrika carrying 52.5kg at $67. Before that second last of 11 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 26 over 1300m, 9 len behind Northernero carrying 57.5kg at $101. The 4kg claim won't be enough to put him into contention.

At the latest run began awkwardly and poor recovery; second last of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Hcp (58) on November 6 over 1100m, 5 len behind Kerioth with 59.5kg at $7. Before that slowly away; 5th of 12 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 22 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Raysim with 61.5kg at $12. Winning prospects enhanced by the favourable gate.

Last start got back early 7th of 13 at Albury Hcp (C1) on November 5 over 1175m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Riddlero carrying 58kg at $6.50. The start before that wide throughout and laid out on straightening; 6th of 12 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 22 over 1000m, 4 len behind Raysim with 60.5kg at $7.50. Nicely placed to repay supporters.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn November 2 over 1200m defeating Jack Of It with 54kg at $2.10. The start before that began awkwardly; with blinkers first time; 3rd of 11 at Goulburn Mdn Plate on September 25 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Roots carrying 56.5kg at $3. Winning chance again.

Resumes after five months. Finished off last campaign slowly away; ninth of 12 at Donald Hcp (58) June 19 over 1624m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Manhattan Arch with 58kg at $31. First up last campaign third in a small field at Mildura 3yo+ (Bm58) April 12 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Park Bench carrying 59.5kg at $17. May need the hitout.

Most recently 9th of 12 at Bordertown (Bm54) on October 29 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Mighty Moshe carrying 59kg at $5.50. The race before that didn't finish the race at Avoca (Bm52) October 16 over 1200m. Worth another chance.

First-up. Finished off last preparation began awkwardly; tenth of 12 at Mildura (Bm64) July 23 over 1400m, soft track; 10 len behind Keep On Bopping carrying 54kg at $151. Previously first up; began awkwardly; second last in a small field at Mildura 3yo+ (Bm58) April 12 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Park Bench with 62kg at $11. Hard to have.

Last start crowded at start and keen; 10th of 13 at Donald (Bm64) on November 14 over 1200m, 6 len behind Danny's St Darci carrying 54.5kg at $101. The race before that 6th of 8 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on November 2 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Hendrika carrying 60kg at $21. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run began awkwardly; 7th of 11 at Albury Hcp (C3) on October 23 over 1175m, 3.5 len behind Magic Merv carrying 54kg at $16. The start before that 3rd of 12 at Forbes E&G (Bm50) on October 9 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Renzulli with 59.5kg at $4. Among the winning hopes on best form.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming checked near 150m and poor recovery; second last of 14 at Donald 3yo+ Hcp (58) on October 10 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Unassailable carrying 57kg at $7.50. Second-up 5th of 8 at Benalla 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 25 over 1106m, 5 len behind Bellarina Magic with 60.5kg at $13. Expected to perform well.

Last start second last of 7 at Dunkeld (Bm64) on November 13 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Kaakit Akit with 54kg at $31. The run before that keen; 4th of 8 at Wycheproof (Bm52) on October 30 over 1050m, 3 len behind Spiteful with 58kg at $2.80. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign tenth of 12 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) May 15 over 1600m, 7 len behind Coraggio carrying 54kg at $26. When resuming last campaign second of 9 at Broken Hill (Bm45) March 13 over 1000m, a neck behind Call Me Anything with 52kg at $10. Hard to enthuse.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 12 at Benalla (Bm70) on September 26 over 1406m, 6 len behind My Boy Birmingham with 59kg at $101. The run before that slowly away and overraced early stages; 5th of 9 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm70) on September 16 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Caffrey carrying 59kg at $21. Others are preferred.

Useful gelding. Last start overraced early stages; 7th of 16 at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm80) on November 6 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind It'sourtime carrying 54.5kg at $17. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Bendigo (Bm64) on October 27 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Duchess Of Dorset carrying 60.5kg at $21. Leading contender coming out of the prized inside gate.

Third-up today. Resuming wide throughout; 8th of 14 at Albury Hcp (C1) on October 23 over 1000m, 3 len behind Hervor with 61kg at $2.80. Last start won by 0.5 len at Corowa Hcp (C3) November 1 over 1000m defeating Gusonic carrying 57kg at $5.50. Won last start and is well-placed again.

First-up. Finished off last preparation raced four wide; seventh of 10 at Warracknabeal (Bm64) May 15 over 1200m, 5 len behind Rohlon Drunk with 60kg at $17. When resuming last campaign third of 7 at Broken Hill Outback Sprint March 13 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Rebecca's Quest with 59.5kg at $4.30. Doesn't appeal.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran last in a small field at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on November 1 over 1100m, 6 len behind Frankie Two Angels carrying 58kg at $17. Previously second-up struck interference early stages; 6th of 10 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) on April 3 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Desert Spirit with 60kg at $5. Should progress from first-up run.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by a nose at Oakbank (Bm54) September 22 over 1050m in soft going defeating Riched with 58.5kg at $1.90. Before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Oakbank (Bm62) September 12 over 1050m in soft going defeating Glass Ceiling with 52.5kg at $11. One of the chief contenders.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 62 day let-up. Most recently too wet; 4th in a small field at Horsham Bm58 on September 20 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Coasting Along with 62kg at $4. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Echuca 3yo+ Hcp (58) on September 11 over 1200m, head behind The Last Charge carrying 60kg at $7. Genuine chance this time around.

Most recently laid in in the straight and inconvenienced concluding stages; held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 26 over 975m, head behind Orienzel carrying 56.5kg at $12. The run before that second last of 11 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 11 over 1209m, 15 len behind Real Gun carrying 57kg at $21. Looks fully tested.

Most recently raced wide without cover; raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Dunkeld (Bm64) on November 13 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Kaakit Akit carrying 55.5kg at $17. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 9 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on November 2 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Beautiful Bee carrying 60.5kg at $21. The 4kg claim won't be enough to put him into contention.
