Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 3rd of 12 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on June 13 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Liberami with 55kg at $8.50. When resuming last campaign 3rd of 7 at Te Aroha 2yo Mdn-Sw on January 3 over 1000m, 0.7 len behind The Victress carrying 56.5kg at $14.60. Was runner-up in a trial at Murtoa on October 9 over 1200m. Boon good at both starts and well-placed to make a bright return.

At debut, ran on from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 25 over 1300m, 1.2 len behind Second Fix with 59.5kg at $11. Promising debut was a great platform for this

Dual acceptor. Last start 7th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 25 over 1300m, 3 len behind Second Fix with 57.5kg at $12. The run before that 3rd of 7 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on September 1 over 1225m, 3.5 len behind Happy Link carrying 57.5kg at $17. Rates highly. From the country's top stable and well-placed to open the account.

Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr trained four-year-old mare lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Pukekohe trial. Been well-educated and most recent jumpout suggested a bright showing on debut is expected.

At debut, 5th of 8 at Tatura 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 1 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Figlio D'argento with 58kg at $7. First start only moderate and would need to improve sharply, but extra distance suits.

On debut. Four-year-old gelding by Polanski out of Timely Kiss. At the most recent trial finished fourth on September 16 at Cranbourne over 1200m. Lot to like about a recent Caulfield jumpout win and breeding suggests 1400m on debut no problem.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after seven months got back early 8th of 11 at Murtoa Mdn-Sw on October 5 over 1200m, 9 len behind Coffin Dodger carrying 59.5kg at $9. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind Enzo with 59.5kg at $9. No easier this time and happy to leave out.

Jumped at big odds at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 13 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on September 27 over 1206m, 6 len behind Lake Forest with 57kg at $41. Won't find this any easier so he is hard to recommend.

Dual acceptor. Gelding by Tosen Stardom making his first appearance. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Murtoa on October 9 over 1600m. Might be one to keep an eye on.

Second-up today. Last start 10th of 13 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on September 27 over 1206m, 7 len behind Lake Forest carrying 59.5kg at $41. At only start last preparation raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on May 31 over 1300m, slow going 8 len behind Ten Deep with 59.5kg at $5.50. Fitter and is expected to do much better.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 7th of 12 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on September 21 over 1300m, 6 len behind Torvecchio with 59.5kg at $16. Second-up 7th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1300m, 7 len behind Dramaticus with 59.5kg at $61. Better for the two runs to date and improved effort would not shock.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after six months got back early 10th of 14 at Ballarat F&M Mdn-Sw on October 3 over 1400m, 7 len behind Double Market with 58kg at $151. Previously second-up second last of 8 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1400m, 9 len behind Iceberry carrying 57kg at $101. Expecting her to kick on with that first run out of the way.
