Verdict

ALPHARD (6) gritty effort on debut when held up badly in the straight to finish an unlucky fourth over 1200m at Canterbury. Never fully tested on debut and expected to take holding out here on the firmer surface. SAPLING (10) rewarded for her consistency third up when a commanding on pace winner over 1300m at Wyong. Has a clear fitness edge over these and can slide across from the wide gate. Goes close. ROYAL AIR FORCE (7) back for his second prep and expecting a more furnished colt. Raced greenly on debut when a poor twelfth over 1250m at Canterbury last February. Fitted with the two good trials and the blinkers get added. Respect. SPICE PRAWN (11) back for her second prep after running respectable races in town last March. Given the two solid trials and look for her late from the sticky draw. I SHOW SPEED (4) speedy Canberra-trained gelding who demolished his rivals on debut over 1080m at Canberra Acton. Further improved and not to be underestimated.

Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 8 at Randwick Kensington 2yo F Osc March 26 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Wootton Lass carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. On debut fourth of 8 at Randwick Kensington 2yo F Mdn March 13 over 1000m, soft track; 2 len behind Pleasure Queen with 57.5kg at $3.30. Looks set for a positive return.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 1.75 len at Wyong 2yo Mdn July 5 over 1300m in soft going defeating Tequisoda with 56.5kg at $2.45. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Wyong 2yo Mdn on June 24 over 1350m, on a slow track; nose behind Champagne Hero with 55kg at $2.60. Sure to measure up again.

At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Canterbury 2yo 0Sc on July 9 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind Sapphire Rose carrying 56kg at $17. Not far away on debut and is among the main contenders.

Filly by Trapeze Artist making her first appearance. Won a Canterbury trial over 900m on June 23. Trained on the course but others rate better and happy to risk without a significant market move.

Second-up. First-up after five months raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 8 at Randwick Kensington 2yo C&G Osc on June 25 over 1100m, slow going 12 len behind Raging Force carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Randwick 2yo SW on December 21 over 1000m, 6 len behind Pallaton with 55kg at $26. Place claims look best.
