Prize Money: $42,000

TICKELOVA (6) earns top billing after a sharp first up second at Newcastle to Lucsain when beaten just over half a length despite easing in betting. The return to 1100m brings a small query, but she has the right recent run to build from and looks well placed to break through. BRUTAL ADVANCE (4) is the proven race-fit danger after three straight seconds this campaign, the latest a neck defeat at Kembla Grange when held up in the straight as an odds-on favourite. Stalks the speed and a win looks imminent. ROSIE ROUGE (8) resumes off a Randwick trial win over 1050m and was close enough at Warwick Farm on debut before fading late on February 19. Her profile gives her genuine upside from the rails draw. OAKFIELD VIRGINIA (7) returns from a lengthy spell after making her debut over a year ago finishing third over 1200m at Tamworth. Primed with the two trials and the cross-over nose band goes on.

Comments

Has placed in both starts and again gave a good account when second in a Mdn at Hawkesbury, beaten a length and a half after being slow to begin before leading. His debut second, beaten a head at the same venue, also had merit after he began awkwardly and was bumped late. Wide draw and top weight make the win harder, place claims look best.

Blinkers FIRST TIME, Ear Muffs (Pre-Race Only) FIRST TIME, Hanoverian Nose Band FIRST TIME [Blinkers]

Comments

Debuts with blinkers fitted and some trial base behind him, including a solid second at Rosehill in his latest hit-out. That gives him a platform, but he is still tackling race pressure for the first time and the stable debut figures are only modest. Has some groundwork, but race experience sits with others.

Blinkers AGAIN [Blinkers]

Comments

Continues to race well without quite finishing the job, most recently second in a Mdn at Kembla Grange when beaten a neck by Bold Bucks as short odds-on favourite. He had to be steadied, was held up in the straight and then laid out, so there was enough against him. The win is overdue, and shapes a major player.

Comments

Was tightened at the start on debut at Newcastle and settled well back, but he was still beaten ten lengths by Lucsain after conceding a big start. He also finished behind Tickelova in that race, which leaves him with ground to make up. First try at 1100m and plenty to find.

Comments

Resumed with a much better run at Newcastle, finishing second to Lucsain and beaten just over half a length after travelling close enough to win. She was an outside chance in the betting there, so the performance carried genuine merit. The 1100m is a small query, but she sets the standard from a low draw.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell of over a year after finishing third on debut at Tamworth, beaten just under two lengths as the well-supported favourite. She began awkwardly and raced keenly, yet still finished strongly, so the raw performance had merit. Mixed trials, but Tommy Berry goes on and the talent is there to figure in the minor money.

Back from over a year away after a Warwick Farm debut seventh, beaten four lengths in a Mdn where she was near the top of betting and struck interference near the 150m. She has since won a Randwick trial. Freshness is the issue, but she has upside with the two searching trials under the belt.

Comments

Worked home well for second at Hawkesbury last start, beaten a length by Stromatolite after settling midfield, and the 2.5kg weight relief is in his favour. The run prior at Kembla Grange was plain when seventh and unwanted in the market after racing wide. Still winless at the trip, and profiles as a fringe place hope.
