Verdict

FLYING DESTINY (2) proven at this level and ticks plenty of boxes third up. Sat on the solid speed when nailed late by Lady Extreme over this track and trip. Senior rider hops aboard and he looks excellent each way value. SPYWIRE (5) classy sprinter who returned from a lengthy layoff with a game second to King's Secret over 1100m at this track. That form has since been franked and strips fitter with the claim again. No shock to see him go one better. YOSHINOBU (6) talented gelding resuming after placing in the Group 2 Roman Consul two preps back. Looks ready to go with the two searching trials and the in-form Tom Sherry rides. Respect. AXIUS (10) improving gelding who looks to have strengthened over the break. Stalked the speed before asserting his class when a game winner over 1100m at Randwick Kensington. Fitter now and is up to this stiffer contest. IRON MAN (7) drops further in weight and deep into his prep. Look for him surging down the outside if they overdo it up front.

First up last campaign fifth of 7 at Randwick in the LR Fireball March 8 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Enriched with 56kg at $2.90. Smart when right and looks to have come back well.

Dual acceptor. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start won by a nose at Canterbury Bm72 June 9 over 1250m in soft going defeating Puntin with 59.5kg at $20. Before that 6th of 8 at Gosford Midway Bm72 on May 10 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Monte Kate with 58.5kg at $4.80. Hard to enthuse as he is not too reliable.

Second run back. First-up after four months 8th of 11 at this track Bm78 on June 28 over 1200m, 4 len behind Lady Extreme with 58kg at $51. Previously second-up won by 0.6 len at Canterbury 5yo+ Bm72 January 1 over 1250m defeating Lady Extreme with 53kg at $11. Looks a fair way off peak form and others preferred.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after four months second last of 11 at this track Bm78 on June 28 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Lady Extreme with 59.5kg at $4.20. Previously second-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at this track Bm78 November 30 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Flying Destiny carrying 56kg at $4.50. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
