Made some impression after getting back worse than midfield 1.6L at Caulfield Heath Bm70 over 1600m. Ran on well into third from sitting midfield 1.5L at Flemington Bm78 over 2000m. Suited out in trip at this level.

Steward's Comments: Slow to begin and then crowded after the start. Near the 700m was hampered and taken wider. R: after being slow to begin, the gelding settled at the rear of the field and was unable to improve its position into the race. Vets: lame in the near foreleg.

Settled midfield and tried gallantly to make ground 1.5L at Flemington Bm78 over 2000m. Challenged for the front and tired late into fourth 1.1L at Flemington Bm78 over 2520m. Easier assignment here today.

Finished alongside the placegetters when out of luck 0.3L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm70 over 2400m. Got back in the running and always had a tough task ahead 21.6L at Flemington Bm78 over 2520m. Down in grade.

Pushed forward to sit with the leaders and gave everything to hold fourth 5.2L at Cranbourne Bm66 over 2600m. Ran home nicely to win on the line after sitting behind the leaders 0.5L at Mornington Bm62 over 2400m. Harder here.

Stalked the leaders however disappointed in a one-paced effort 4.8L at Sandown Lakeside Bm66 over 2100m. Held off rivals for a soft win 1.5L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm66 over 2418m. Can lead and be hard to run down but a touch harder today.

Steward's Comments: Slow to begin. When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance stable representative explained it was the stable’s opinion at the mare’s most recent starts it did not handle the soft track conditions. Following Amizetta’s most recent start on 16/10/2025, the mare jumped out at Terang on 28/10/2025 and whilst winning the trial, the stable ordered blood tests which subsequent revealed some abnormalities for which the mare was treated. Stated post treatment the mare has been working well, however .
