Last start drew inside Scone Slow 6 went back to 7th ran home late off an even tempo for 3rd beaten 1.3L in only basic figures for the meeting. Resumed start prior 1100m Canterbury Slow 5 got back to last off inside draw charged late for 2d to Spring Lee in very good figures. Gets right back on map again back in distance but they can sweep home out wider late at this track and distance and she has elite closing speed when right.

R9 n15 MIRZANN Maps well forward behind leaders and off fence 3rd up off 14 days. Rises 1kg out to 2000m (+200m) which suits and stays in BM84 grade. Last start when 2nd up drew oft went right back and was strong late for 2nd beaten 1.5L well backed at $2.90. His closing speed there off a fast tempo was excellent and he was held up at 400m! Both Aust runs have been very good and back onto a dryer surface today out to 2000m is perfect.

R2 n1 EMIRATE Draws inside today so start is important for him at 2nd race start off 24 days rises 2kg out to 1300m (+300m). Slowly away on debut went back and too strong late winning by 0.8L well backed $2.35. Had huge closing sectionals winning that day with fastest L600/400/200m of the meeting. Runner up has been good since and looks suited out to 1300m off that effort. Maps 3P back inside and will need clear air in straight from there but looks better than

R1 n2 MASTER MAURICE resumes, was a strong Eagle farm winner 1st up last campaign and has come back well judging by his smart jump-out win here recently in good time, looks better than these.

R3 n2 THE RIGHT WAY is a highly promising staying type who won well at Ipswich last start over 1690m. Up in weight but is a big strong horse that will relish the extra distance, races well here and looks the winner.

R2 n1 NAVY BLOOD Gets 4 pairs back inside 2nd up off 14 days, rises 2.5kg out to 1400m. Resumed off short 62-day spell Newcastle Heavy 9 sat back 7th charged late off a very fast tempo winning by 2.4L in very good figures for the class/meeting when well backed late. Back onto a dryer track a plus for him and he will eat up the 1400m. Has to carry the 59.5kg and maps back inside but will be winning a lot better races than this in his career. Nice horse.

R4 n4 QUANTUM CAT Last on map and will have to come around most of them in straight 3″‘ up off 14 days out to 2400m (+400m) and stays in BM78 grade. Last start 2d up off 21 days 1600-2000m came wide late when 2d Caulfield 2000m off a very fast tempo when well backed late in betting. Both his Aust runs have been very good at 1600-2000m. The winner last start had a much more economical run than him which proved costly late. Proven out to 2500m in UK and that last run off a high-speed tempo will bring him right on fitness wise for 2400m today.

R5 n6 PREMIUM GIRL smart 3yo filly out to 1600m (+300m) is ideal. Has been finishing strongly in all her races recently and can run over the top of these late to win.

R6 n3 ANTIQUE MISS on 7-day backup and gets Pike on in a key jockey change, 3rd up today and way back in class off two very good runs. She has great closing figures and will be too strong late for her rivals.

R8 n5 CALIFORNICATION huge win resuming in lead-up race when attacked the line hard for an easy win. Better suited here out to 1400m and fast tempo suits and he will launch late again.

R9 n4 OLY’S CHOICE has been flying of late with two fast finishing wins, meets a similar field and can win again.

R1 n6 WEST CORK will strip fitter after a tidy effort when resuming at Ipswich last start and his overall form is good for this race. He has a high cruising speed and maps to lead and win.

R10 n8 SACHEM positive gear change 3′ up today and finally back on to a roomier track and away from tight Morphettville Parks circuit. Charged home late last start in quality figures and keen he wins back in class here.

R2 n11 MIRZANN Maps well behind speed from soft draw 2nd up off 14 days (spell was 190 days). Drops 6.5kg coming out of BM70 up to BM84 today out to 1800m (+100m) – would have preferred out to 2000m at a minimum. French import in leading stable who resumed Caulfield 1600m with gear changes, drew soft and sat 6th on a very fast tempo -ran home for 21ª beaten 0.8L by Cadmus when heavily backed at $6. Proven out to 3000m so 21ª up here off 14 days is some concern but market support when resuming is always a key indicator of class in an import from this stable and D Lane riding with 54.5kg is a huge plus. Softer track today is ideal for him and keen he wins.

R7 n6 STEPARTY Great map for him this tempo forward inside off a fast tempo. Resumes off 113-day spell and won 800m trial Horsham May 6 by 2.25L. He was keen to run in that jump out but was very strong on the line. All his figures are very good, and he has a super consistent overall record. 3YO taking on older horses but proven down straight and is unbeaten on Slow tracks- ideally placed today.

R2 n3 BRAVE SPIRIT – got back in a slow run race last start before charging late for 2nd behind the smart filly Twain’s Angel. Maps well today and the step up to 1400m is ideal, hard to beat.

R5 n2 GENEROSITY – flew home from last to grab 2ª in a very slowly run race last start. Drops in class and out to 1300m is perfect, will take plenty of holding out late.

R8 n2 WESTERN EMPIRE – has bounced back to his best since returning to his original trainer this prep. Will get back early, but up to 1400m off a fast tempo is ideal and will run over the top of these late to score.

R1 n3 PERFECT ENCOUNTER is a smart mare who loves this track and trip and gets in well after the claim for promising apprentice. Will roll forward from the wide draw to lead or race outside leader and take plenty of beating from there.

R4 n11 RHUMB LINE is a promising 2yo taking on the older horses. He won well at Ipswich last start and from the soft draw will lead and take plenty of running down.

R2 n6 HES BESET Maps well resuming off 168 days and was very strong late in his last jump out. Returned gelded last prep and was very good behind JimmyStar in both runs. Closed off late in both runs – they were his first for N Ryan stable (was an ex NZ horse) His form over there was good with genuine excuses in some of the losses. Perfect race for him resuming today class wise- he just looks better than these and with blinkers on and a good map he should be too good.

R3 n4 OUR RED MORNING Maps closer today off inside draw but still could be 3P back there. 2nd up off 21 days (spell was 189 days). Rises 1kg out to 1400m (+200m) and positive riding change. Last start dew wide went back to last on a fast tempo but had a dominant close late on a Soft 5 track. There was some real quality in her close there and that race was stronger than here today. Her best form is clearly on wet tracks so the overnight rain bringing track to a Soft 6 is perfect for her. I am a fan of this jockey, and he can get her into the clear and she will be too strong from there late.

R4 n2 ELPHINSTONE Maps very well behind leaders from inside draw 4* up off 14 days drops 1.5kg stays at 1600m. Negative riding change but claim is very important and she is an easy enough filly to ride. Last start drew soft sat 6* on an even tempo but was strong late out to 1600m winning well with the tongue tie on first time. Not sure of overall quality of that race but figures were good (career peak rating) and this race today doesn’t look any stronger. In the zone and only 4th up today from inform stable.

R9 n6 FRIGID Maps very well on speed this tempo 4th up off 21 days stays at 1600m in BM84 class with same weight due to claim. This rider suits this mare and maps well again form soft draw. Last start smashed late in betting ($2.80) sat 5* on a slow tempo and destroyed them late winning easily. Overall figures from race looked only basic but the form behind her that day has been well and truly franked since. She is a lot better mare off a fast early tempo when she settles better and her win here last prep t 2000m was outstanding. Can win again today and soft is a bonus.

R4 n3 THE BOSS LADY – talented 3yo filly with great overall record. Unbeaten this prep winning both races narrowly but impressively. Maps well off fast pace to be very strong late and can win again today.

R2 n2 APUNTAR – is on debut for the in-form Kevin Kemp stable. He hasn’t been seen at the public trials but has been very impressive at the jump-outs including his latest when leading all the way in smart time, has drawn the inside and will be very hard ti beat

R4 n1 POSITIVITY – NZ filly who was off a 42-day break prior to last start here in the Oaks when ran home late from well back to be beaten 3.5 lengths by Vibrant Sun. Gets Damien Lane here today and out to 2500m (+500m) is a bonus for her. She will be too strong for these fillies late at this trip and keen she wins

R7 n3 HERE TO SHOCK – Maps very well forward inside off this tempo 3d up off 28 days and since ran 3rd trial Bendigo 800m (47.56 sec) beaten 1.2L. Rise, 5.5kg back to 1400m (-200m) off last start win here Group 3 class when drew wide went back off a slow tempo but crushed them late with a race dominant close won by 0.5L (Seonee ran 2d and won very well since). Not a fan of horses up in weight and back in distance but his last win was very good and overall career figures this track and distance makes him clear top pick today.

R8 n2 AZTEC STATE – Maps MF and should be suited this tempo if he gets a back to follow early 3rd up off 17 days drops 2kg out to 2000m (+400m). Last start drew inside Caulfield Heath BM64 went back and ran home late just missed winner on the line. That winner Chihuly was excellent last week v Berkley Square. Out to 2000m has to suit him and is still a lightly raced young stayer in a red hot stable with blinkers on today. Clear top pick.

R10 n2 CHORLTON LANE – Maps back worse than MF but away from inside and only needs a back to follow to launch late again off this tempo out wider in straight late. 2nd up off 21 days rises 1.5kg stays at 1400m and in BM84 class. Resumed off 158-day spell at Bendigo went back and wide to 10th off a slow tempo but super strong late to win easily on line with race dominant close (Extra Two was 2nd has won since). Really like him at 1400m on dry tracks and is very well placed this class again today. Convinced he can win up to Group 3 class at a minimum.

BEST BET: R5 n3 TWAIN’S ANGEL – unbeaten filly who resumed last start and sat outside leader on a slow tempo before winning easily in fast sectionals late. Figures from all three runs are good, maps on speed and looks the winner again.

R9 n5 GENEROSITY – got too far back from a wide draw when resuming last start but charges home late for 3d. Has some real quality about her and out to 1200m off a better map today should see her winning.

R2 n6 SHEPPEY – resumed with a tidy effort when 2* behind the inform Spooky Spirit Will be fitter for the run and maps well from the soft draw, great each way chance.

R5 n3 ADDIEL – first starter who didn’t show a lot in her trials last year but has come back much better judging by her recent jump outs including the latest one she won in good time. Drawn ideally and will be hard to beat.

R7 n10 SALACIA – went back from the wide draw before rattling home for 3rd at this track last week. Will give them a bit of a start but will be rattling home late and can rur over the top of them to score.

R9 n11 LOSESOMEWINMORE – went back early when resuming and showed elite closing sectionals to win by 1.7 lengths. The 2nd horse has won since, will swamp these late – looks a promising type.

R1 n3 BEWS – Maps back inside but will be ridden closer today off soft draw but will need clear air at some stage in straight. 21d up off 21 days (spell was 147 days) stays at 1200m 2d up. Resumed here Slow 5 (soft suits him) sat 10* on a Very Slow tempo charged late beaten on line at $5. Closing sectionals there were elite- he has a booming finish and if gets clear air in straight will demolish this field late.

R4 n4 EXTRATWO – Maps forward inside behind the leaders 5th up off 14 days rises 2.5kg stays at 1400m back to Fillies & Mares class here. Last start was off 21 days and out to 1400m first time Bendigo and she had her chance on a slow tempo for 2d to Chorlton Lane (very smart horse) beaten 1.5L at well backed $3.60. That’s a great form reference for this race and off 14 days she can be expected to be fitter for the 1400m. Rock solid 4YO mare and horse to beat here.

R5 n4 BERKLEY SQUARE – Gets back on map but will get chance late in race in small field 5th up off 21 days stays at 2000m. Last start slow away and held up in straight off a fast tempo sat 11th Caulfield Group 3 charged late beaten 1.5L at $9-had race dominant close there but subsequent form from race has been questionable. All 4 of his wins have been on wet tracks and it’s now 10 runs since he’s won a race but he won’t get a better chance than today to correct that. L Currie getting back aboard him today is a plus and is very well weighted this weight scale.

R6 n2 MODOWN – MF on map should have back to follow there and run on late. 4th up off 14 days out to 1600m. Last start drew outside barrier Bendigo was slow away went right back early on a slow tempo, then over raced but still ran home late beaten 3L at $17. Closing figures there were huge (Best L400m of meeting) and sets him up ideally for today. His one run at 1600m was ridden upside down leading in a Sandown Guineas and dropped right out late at the end of last prep. Talented 3YO finds right race

R3 n4 BARNEY’S WORLD – 3d up today on 7 day back up. Very good winning here last week and his closing figures off a fast speed were high quality. He beat a quality filly (Generosity) there and maps well here behind the speed to launch in the straight.

R9 n1 DESSENEA -3rd up today and so well suited this race out to 1600m after staying at 1400m when 2d up and ran into a peak rating by a decent horse when 2nd. M Poy gets replaced by W Pike today which is a huge change. 3rd up last prep this horse went on a winning spree once out to this distance. That should happen again today and keen he wins.

R6 n9 INTRECCIATO – had been racing well without luck in stronger maidens in Brisbane before storming home for 2nd at this track last start, can run over the top of these late to

R1 n1 PERSPIRATION – 3rd up off 14 days rises 1kg. Just needs to get over behind the speed without being caught wide and map will be ok. Last start 2nd Caulfield Slow 5 1200m when began awkwardly got back on a slow tempo and charged late beaten 0.5L. Dominant close there for race and meeting- he really built up the revs over the L200m. Debut run prior at Kenso ran 2nd to a very smart 2Y0 at 1000m when again closed off hard off a very slow tempo- his L600m there was excellent. Maps well today and should run right over the top of these late and be winning.

R7 n3 SEA WHAT I SEE – 5th up off 21 days rises 2.5kg stays at 2000m. Maps well behind what looks like a fast tempo. Last start Flemington BM80 was held up 500m off an even tempo but strong when clear inside in the straight and won by 2.3L. Closing figures there were ok but not as fast as they looked visually. Having a super prep though and putting margins on fields in most races is always a great sign. Up to 59kg today but looks hard to beat again.

R5 n2 GENEROSITY – Resumes off 140days and 950m trial April 8 was outstanding. Will get back on this map but fast tempo up front will allow her to unwind late over the top of these while fresh. She has outstanding closing figures and should be too good for these.

R6n6 TWAIN’S ANGEL – Resumes off 217 days but has had two trails and won them both. Will go straight to the front on this map and with claim she is just too well weighted v these rivals. Both her wins last prep were outstanding and she is destined for better races than this. Should just lead/win today.

R7 n7 BELLE ET RICHE Maps well forward inside behind leaders but not sure inside alleys an advantage this track 3rd up off 14 days rises 2kg stays at 1400m. Last start 2nd Flemington to He’s Our Bonneval sat 12th charged late beaten 0.5L at $6.50. Excellent close there off a Fast tempo after being slow away. Only 3 wins 17 starts with 9 placings so can be a bridesmaid but well placed back to mares grade off last run and overall figures are VG for this race.

R10 n10 CHORLTON LANE Maps well MF and back off speed- ideal map this track and tempo resuming off 158 days and ran 2nd Donald 1050m trial March 20 beaten 1.8L. Dry tracker with good first up stats and still only lightly raced so his best from is still ahead of him. Hard to assess overall fitness today and market closer to race time very important for him. His best form wins this race and he is destined to race lot better class than today later in prep

R7 n1 HELEVA DEEL is clearly the class runner of this field and steps out to her pet distance at 4th run back from a spell, gets a handy claim for promising apprentice and looks the winner.

R4 n5 MOESHA Maps back MF inside 4th up off 14 days and Blinkers on last start worked- she was very strong late out to 1200m after being very wide on turn and checked at 250m beaten 1.2L by Gumdrops. Suited again late today off that. Has always had the talent and 4th up today she gets her chance to be beating these.

R9 n3 FIRST IMMORTAL 2nd up off 21 days (was 143-day spell) rises 2.5kg out to 2000m (+400m) off resuming win when led on a Very Slow tempo and held them off late – it was like a barrier trial for him. High class young stayer who maps very well behind the speed here and will be way too good for these late today. Looks a safe bet.

R10 n11 REGAL AZMON Tough map for him well back and wide but tempo up front will suit him late, will need run on track pattern to be in play late in the day for him, but he is ready to win at 1600m today with any luck. 3rd up off 14 days and got well back in the Frigid race behind Sir Davy last start, was slow away and held up at 500m but still had race best close beaten 0.4L. Has had genuine excuses both starts this prep and D Stackhouse replacing B Higgins today is a huge change. Stackhouse knows this horse very well from last prep and he will charge late at these off this tempo today.

R5 n3 BUSTLING – had to work hard 3 wide the trip last start with no cover but fought on well for a brave 2nd this track and trip. Maps to lead or sit outside leader today and will take plenty of running down.

R3 n9 MACHINE HEAD – was an easy winner at this track 3 runs back when resuming and hasn’t been far away his past two without luck in stronger races, maps just behind the speed and will be very hard to hold out late.

R5 n6 STELLER EAGLE – showed good speed to sit outside the leader and fought on okay for 2nd behind a handy one over this track and trip last start, will lead today and take plenty of catching.

R6 n9 TOUCH OF GRACIE – ran a nice 3rd behind the promising Majestic Boom at Eagle Farm last start and looks beautifully weighted in this race, won at this track 4 runs back and looks the winner.
