First up last campaign ran second last of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Seymour on December 28 over 1300m, 12 len behind Tarzing with 55.5kg at $101. Cannot recommend until he shows a bit more.

Gelding by Russian Camelot making his first appearance. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Cranbourne on August 17. Aided by a nice alley but others profile better so prepared to watch this time

Second-up. First-up after six months 3rd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 18 over 1400m, 2 len behind Stuntman carrying 59.5kg at $2.40. Previously second-up 5th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham on February 5 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Berlemont with 59.5kg at $12. Fitter and worth following up.

Last start 3rd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 25 over 1500m, 2 len behind Lancetta carrying 57.5kg at $18. Before that couldn't go on with it; 7th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 9 over 1400m, 8 len behind Justibella carrying 57.5kg at $10. Has been racing well. In the each way mix.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 5th of 12 in a F&M Mdn at Kembla Grange on November 15 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Aura carrying 56kg at $6.50. Can be a sharp improver from the gun draw.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 24 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Yellowknife carrying 57kg at $2.50. The race before that 2nd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Wangaratta on July 31 over 1170m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Designer Style carrying 57kg at $2.80. Knocking on the door and will take beating.

Three-year-old gelding (Tagaloa - Miss Sentimental) who was bought for NZD $ 275,000 (NZB 2025 Ready to Run Sale). Matt Laurie has him primed for this with three recent trials prior to his debut today. Runner-up in a Sandown-Hillside jump-out on August 27. Should be ready to run well.
