WILLINGHAM (7) led and gave a kick but found one better close to home last start over 1200m at the Beaumont track. This doesn't look any harder so third-up on an eight-day turnaround he looks poised to break through. RHETORIC (2) was well in commission on debut over 1200m here on New Year's Day but couldn't quite finish the race off, although not beaten far. Visors go on for this assignment. Can improve enough to fully test this modest line-up. EYNESBURY (4) has not appeared since tiring badly on debut at Kembla last April. Has been gelded since that failure and did trial well at Rosehill recently. Expecting a lot more this prep. SAINT ALDWYN (6) resumes. Hasn't set the world on fire in his two runs to date but is now a gelding so more is expected from this Waller-trained three-year-old. COPYCAT (3) was poor on debut last start but has trialled well since and the blinkers may make a difference.

Comments

Three-year-old gelding (Maurice - Shawnee Girl) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut, the latest a sixth at Randwick over 1050m on December 30. Unlikely to threaten at this stage.

At debut, ran last of 10 at this track Cge Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Royal Corporal carrying 54.5kg at $11. Ran 3rd in a Rosehill trial over 1030m on January 13. Jumps from out wide and likely to struggle.

Ran 3rd in a trial at Rosehill over 900m on January 13. Has been gelded so he may reach new heights this prep.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 13 at Nowra Mdn on December 31 over 1200m, 2 len behind Gem Tycoon carrying 58kg at $2.70. Second run from a spell set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Mdn on January 15 over 1200m, slow going 0.6 len behind California Command carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Fitter now and making headway. Progressing nicely this prep and is ready to peak.
