Stalked speed, on front early, too tough Queen Eliz Group 3. Awesome effort to run on late for fifth after settling a long way in the running Carlyon Cup Group 3. May need extra ground but is a key player and is 1:2 at the track/trip.

Never likely to threaten after positioning midfield in transit 10.7L Prem Cup Group 3 over 2400m Heavy 8. Unleashed a big finish late to gain second and will be winning soon 0.2L Carlyon Cup Group 3 over 1600m. Warrants respect with second-up stats.

Led, challenged but showed great courage to hold on for the win 0.5L at Caulfield Bm100 over 2000m. Raced up on the pace and did a great job to hold second 1L at Caulfield Vg Heath over 2000m. Can't underestimate at this track/distance.

Steward's Comments: Tactics queried as to the circumstances surrounding Suntora being able to obtain a run to the inside of Magnaspin near the 700m. J. Melham advised by Stewards that near the 900m she should have shifted back towards the rail and raced in a position which would not have allowed a horse to improve to her inside.

Handy, under pump early, poor, vetted clear at Southside Pakenham. Held off rivals for a soft win at Caulfield over 1700m. Boasts plenty of upside and draws ideally. The one to beat.

Poised to bounce at the 400m however didn't have a lot left to give 4.9L at Flemington Bm84 over 1400m. Failed to make any impression after settling a long way back 4.3L Carlyon Cup Group 3 over 1600m.

Held position strongly to the line but was never a serious threat 2.6L at Warrnambool Woodford Cup over 1700m. Always doing the chasing after displaying no early speed 25.4L at Caulfield Bm84 over 2400m.

Led and kicked clear for nice win at Flemington over 2000m. Sat behind the speed and narrowly failed to make up the ground holding second at Caulfield over 2400m. Rises in grade but is seriously talented and a key contender.
