HY (1) showed good natural pace and dug deep in the closing stages to finish second in an impressive debut over 1000m here last start. Looks perfectly placed over the slightly longer trip at this stage. Big chance to go one better. VIVA MACACO (9) also debuted over 1000m at this track recently and was beaten narrowly after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a similar run today and looks the obvious threat. IAMBUBB (7) started at cricket score odds and gave a tremendous sight last time out over 1000m here, only gunned down in the final stages. Starting to click and might prove hard to catch again today. FAWLTY AFFAIRS (6) returns after a 16-week spell. Best of three runs in the maiden campaign was a second on debut over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Should be ready for a bold return. Bjorn Baker's first starter STRONGHOLD (8) won a recent Rosehill trial and looks a ready to run type.

At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 23 over 1000m, slow going 0.7 len behind Internal Affairs with 59kg at $21. Should come on following that hit-out and looks the testing material.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation fifth of 10 at Scone Cge Mdn-Sw September 2 over 1100m, 2 len behind Bonoyster with 56.5kg at $9. On debut ran last in a small field at Randwick Kensington Super 3yo C&G Mdn August 13 over 1150m, in the wet; 8 len behind Sixties with 57kg at $3.10. Will take great benefit from this run.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at Warwick Farm 2yo Mdn April 1 over 1300m, soft track; 11 len behind Seraphox carrying 57.5kg at $12. On debut second of 11 at Muswellbrook 2yo Hcp March 8 over 1000m, 1.2 len behind Drumfire with 58kg at $14. Capable of a bold return.

Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at this track 2yo Mdn on July 2 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Jaipur Maison carrying 56.5kg at $61. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily ran second last of 7 at Gosford 2&3yo Mdn on June 11 over 1100m, slow going 11 len behind Pazyryk with 56kg at $13. Making headway. Very fit and should figure in the finish.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Harry Angel out of Eventide. Purchased for AUD $ 120,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Horses In Training Sale). Has had three trials leading into this, scoring most recently at Rosehill over 900m - looks ready to run well.
