Verdict

EASY TURN (9) ran a respectable race first up in BM64 grade at a distance short of his best and then improved up in trip and down in grade last time out. It looks the right build up for a race of this class and trip at his third run for the prep. GIFT OF ORATORY (2) is also third-up and continued the consistent formlines of last preparation with two minor placings and looks sure to be around the mark again, despite the potentially tricky barrier. THIN RED LINE (4) is a dour type who has been crying out for this trip. ELOPED (10) was good winning last start, but in easier grade than this and will need everything to go right from the wide alley.

Last start favourite; scored a big 8 len win at Horsham Mdn-Sw February 4 over 2100m in soft going defeating Irlandais carrying 57.5kg at $1.30. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 2000m, 0.9 len behind Dusty's Deel with 57.5kg at $1.55. Found the right race last start and trotted in by eight lengths, but this is tougher.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Benalla 0 - 58 on January 19 over 1606m, 1.5 len behind Graham carrying 59.5kg at $8. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track Bm58 on February 8 over 1968m, neck behind Gemini Dancer carrying 59.5kg at $4.60. Fitter now and making headway. Looks very tough to beat.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track 0 - 58 on February 8 over 1514m, 1.3 len behind Queen Beira carrying 60kg at $4. The start before that 4th of 13 at Sale Bm58 on February 2 over 1415m, 1.75 len behind Grand Sage with 59.5kg at $7. Comes into this off a solid second over 1514m at this track last time but further improvement is required if he is to be competitive.

Third-up today. Resuming eased back early on 6th of 9 at Camperdown Bm64 on January 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Crepescule carrying 53.5kg at $8. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Wangaratta F&M Bm58 on February 6 over 1590m, 1.4 len behind Kilkenny Lass carrying 60kg at $5. Key chance who can play a major role.

At the latest run favourite; won by 2.25 len at Great Western Mdn-Sw January 25 over 1950m defeating Reel Blessed carrying 57.5kg at $1.28. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Bellarchi carrying 57.5kg at $4.80. Had been working up to last-start win and while this is tougher, can't completely dismiss.

Second-up 9th of 14 at Bendigo 0 - 58 on February 15 over 1600m, 4 len behind Sound Of Jura carrying 59.5kg at $31. Out of his depth.

The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Benalla 0 - 58 on December 14 over 2100m, 2.75 len behind Pahi Lass carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Worth following up.

Racing well. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Hanging Rock Bm52 January 26 over 1800m defeating Assignment carrying 55kg at $2.90. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Camperdown 0 - 58 on January 18 over 1600m, 4 len behind Salsbury Hill carrying 52kg at $11. This is a rise in grade on last-start victory but hard to knock winning form.
