Verdict

Fantastic race for the first G1 of the Melbourne Spring. The map will play a big part and for that reason, BEIWACHT (10) goes on top. His two runs at 1400m have seen him bolt in with the Golden Rose and then win the All Aged Stakes impressively before a spell. Trialling well, Nash Rawiller comes down to ride and he'll take all the running down. COSMIC CRUSADER (7) won the PB Lawrence impressively and hits this third up. Had to reel off some good late splits and did so last time, he can push on and if he slots in near the speed he'll be very hard to hold out. JIMMYSSTAR (2) resumes. His win in the CF Orr over this route last Spring was outstanding. Was a bit off his best in the Autumn but love this trip for him. ANGEL CAPITAL (5) is incredibly frustrating but it's clear 1200m is too sharp for him. He was awfully unlucky here in a Rupert Clarke and in the All Aged as favourite. The ability is there! TOM KITTEN (3) looks underrated - he's a top horse and can be charging through late.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up favourite; won by 2.5 len in the G3 Bletchingly Stakes at this track on July 25 over 1200m in soft going defeating Winnasedge carrying 58.5kg at $3.60. Second run from a spell favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len in the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes at this track on August 15 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Private Eye carrying 59kg at $2.50. Very good winner last time, will take plenty of holding out again.

Is first-up after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign by 0.9 len Randwick G1 All Aged April 18 over 1400m defeating Lazzura with 56.5kg at $6.50. First up last campaign ran last of 8 at Flemington in the G1 Lightning February 14 over 1000m, 6 len behind Tentyris carrying 55.5kg at $9. Classy horse who will give a huge sight.

Second run back. First-up after four months came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 in the G2 Missile Stakes at Randwick on August 8 over 1200m, 2 len behind Ninja carrying 57.5kg at $2.20. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 in the G1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on March 7 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Caballus carrying 56kg at $12. Much better suited this trip, frustrating but he's good enough.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second of 16 at Randwick in the G1 Doncaster April 4 over 1600m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Sheza Alibi carrying 52kg at $10.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Flemington in the G1 Champ Mile November 8 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Ceolwulf carrying 59kg at $2.90. When resuming last campaign second of 9 at this track in the G1 Memsie August 30 over 1400m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Treasurethe Moment with 59kg at $7. Champion gelding but off the long break and some query on how he's going.

Finished off last preparation seventh of 12 at Flemington in the G1 Aust Cup March 28 over 2000m, soft track; 5 len behind Light Infantry Man carrying 59kg at $6.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign won by 2.75 len Doomben G1 Doomben Cup May 23 over 2000m defeating Pride Of Jenni carrying 59kg at $3.30. First up last campaign fourth of 8 at Flemington in the LR The Elms Hcp February 14 over 1400m, 0.9 len behind Cafe Millenium carrying 60kg at $13. Had a great last campaign but this is probably too sharp.
