Races MR Hamilton

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, 4th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on October 7 over 1247m, slow going 1.1 len behind Mr Natural with 59.5kg at $91. Last start 7th of 12 in a 4yo+ Mdn-Sw at Sale on October 25 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Rough Enuff carrying 59.5kg at $14. This is a weaker race so he gets his chance.

Resuming off nine months break after having had one race start. At debut last start got back early 7th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Colac on February 6 over 1200m, 6 len behind Brutify with 59kg at $12. Had seven recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial was runner-up in a jump-out at Mortlake on November 2. Might have more to offer this time in work.

At the latest run struggled in the run home; 8th of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 1300m, 6 len behind Black Aces carrying 59.5kg at $151. Before that ran last of 12 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Mt Gambier on October 7 over 1200m, on a slow track; 16 len behind Nicaloha with 58kg at $51. Impossible to recommend.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation ninth of 11 at Echuca Mdn-Sw March 21 over 1209m, 6 len behind Western Lane with 59.5kg at $61. When resuming last campaign second last of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw February 22 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Wazing with 59.5kg at $12. Prefer to see how he returns.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 10 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Naracoorte on November 1 over 1430m, head behind Shujinko carrying 58kg at $1.80. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Murray Bridge on October 28 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Grand Millesime carrying 58kg at $4.60. Rarely far away and should once again be very competitive.

Second-up. First-up after four months eased back early on 5th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at St Arnaud on October 24 over 1100m, 5 len behind Fox Phire carrying 59.5kg at $151. Previously second-up 12th of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at Donald on June 20 over 1350m, in the wet; 16 len behind Flying Khan with 59.5kg at $201. Might need more time.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at St Arnaud on October 24 over 1100m, 10 len behind Fox Phire carrying 57kg at $61. Must do a lot more.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on October 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Celtic Spy with 58kg at $14. The run before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Kyneton on October 8 over 1103m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Lightwatch with 57kg at $5. Genuine gelding who is expected to feature.

At debut, raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on October 19 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Sayalero carrying 57kg at $15. No surprise to see him in the finish.

She is resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 10 at Donald Mdn-Sw June 9 over 2200m, soft track; 14 len behind Phantom's Chase with 57.5kg at $10. On debut sixth of 10 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw March 31 over 1457m, soft track; 6 len behind Regal Visions carrying 56kg at $26. SCRATCHED.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 29 over 1200m, 2 len behind Hiney's Bar with 57.5kg at $21. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on September 14 over 1400m, slow going 2.25 len behind Asal with 57.5kg at $3.70. Going well this prep and is a key runner again.

Second-up. First-up after five months 7th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 29 over 1000m, 9 len behind Fammi with 57.5kg at $51. Previously second-up 8th of 10 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Mt Gambier on March 13 over 1563m, 6 len behind Fearless Monarch with 56kg at $26. Looks tested again.

Mare by Lucky Vega on debut. Did not show a great deal at the trials - prefer to see in a race before forming an opinion.

Most recently ran second last of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Kilmore on October 30 over 1112m, slow going 10 len behind Gold Bijoux carrying 57.5kg at $91. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Kilmore on September 28 over 1100m, 5 len behind He's On Point carrying 57.5kg at $151. Tested on recent form.
