HARDPOINT (5) improving staying type who failed to handle the steep rise in grade when tenth over 2000m in the G2 Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill behind Pocketing. Further improved fourth up and assess on earlier efforts. Goes close in this class. NOVEMBER FALLS (7) tough mare who headed north when a fading fourth in the soft (6) going over 1600m at Doomben in BM70 company. Will find this more to her liking and the step up to 1850m shouldn't pose a problem. Keep safe. BLAZERRO (2) dropped in weight when bouncing back quickly for a narrow second over 1800m in the Gundagai Cup. Returned good figures at latest and gets a good set up again with Nock's claim. Stays in the mix. MAGICON (6) worked hard early from the outside gate and the early effort told late when fifth over this course and distance at latest. Good enough to run into the minor money.
