R5 n12 SACRED FEELING – 4th up off 14 days stays at 1800m. Maps well MF behind the fast tempo and well suited. Last start here Soft 6 began awkwardly went back on a very fast tempo beaten 1.8L at $2.25 behind Connecticut. Was off 24 days there and 1660 -1820m but she went out way too fast early by her standards- as in 13 Lengths faster to the 600m then the run before. She would have been right out of her comfort zone off that set up and probably explains why she gassed out badly late over the last 200m. She sets up lot better today off 14 days and back on dryer track with blinkers on and J Orman rides first time.
R7 n7 ROCKRIBBED – 2nd up off 14 days (spell was 227 days so 14 days 2nd up is a concern). Drops 6kg but loses R Maloney for young apprentice and stays at 1200m. Maps forward and should get over ok behind leaders. Resumed here Soft 6 with gear changes first run for Gollan stable (ex A Laing?). Led there on a slow tempo so she had her chance at $12 beaten 0.6L. Gets the gun map today and with 51kg is extremely hard to beat here.
R9 n5 PRESS LINK – 3rd up off 35 days and ran 2nd 1000m trial (59.20sec) to Skirt The Law beaten 2.75L April 11. Maps very well 5th inside early on leaders back. Drops 2.5kg out to 1400m (+200m) off last start win here when went back from wide alley sat 7th overpowered them in straight won by 2.5L at $2.50 despite being wide the trip. Elite closing figures last start off a fast tempo when wide- sure signs of genuine class. Really nice horse.

R4 n1 TANNHAUSER – 4th up off 14 days out to 200m (+400m). Maps MF inside 4P back and will need clear air in straight from there- maybe J Mac gets him a pair closer and onto the leaders back. Last start went back to last on a very fast tempo held up at 400 and charged late beaten 0.9L $14. His L600 there was excellent and his final 200m was huge off the very fat tempo for the meeting. Clearly ready for 2000m off that and perfect race for him today. Looks winner.
R5 n7 FRONT PAGE – 2nd up off 28 days no public trial since. (Spell was 133 days so 28 day 2nd up suits) Leads and controls on average tempo so well suited today this map and slow track form is excellent. Rises 3.5kg coming out of Group 1 Galaxy Rosehill Good 4 when 3rd beaten 0.3L so incredibly well placed this weight scale. Out to 1200m (+100m) suits 2nd up. Led on an even tempo there but was very fast between the 1000-600m and still looked winner in straight but grabbed on line as he gassed out late. Unbeaten this track and distance leading and controlling on slow tempos which he gets again today. Impossible not to have him clearly on top here.
R9 n12 JIMMYSTAR – 4th up off 43 days and no public trial since. Maps back on outside 6P back near last. Rises 2.5kg stays at 1400m off last start unlucky loss Newcastle when cluttered away in a very slowly run race beaten 4.2L. He has huge closing speed this horse which will be required again today off this map but fast tempo up front will suit him late. If they can run home late this track and we will have some prior runners to confirm that earlier in this meeting (R2 Rapbidash, R6 New Energy, R7 Broadsiding, R8 Espiona) Jimmy can win this race easily. He is the best horse in the race but we will need that pattern to be ok before backing him.

R1 n1 PERSPIRATION – 3rd up off 14 days rises 1kg. Just needs to get over behind the speed without being caught wide and map will be ok. Last start 2nd Caulfield Slow 5 1200m when began awkwardly got back on a slow tempo and charged late beaten 0.5L. Dominant close there for race and meeting- he really built up the revs over the L200m. Debut run prior at Kenso ran 2nd to a very smart 2Y0 at 1000m when again closed off hard off a very slow tempo- his L600m there was excellent. Maps well today and should run right over the top of these late and be winning.
R7 n3 SEA WHAT I SEE – 5th up off 21 days rises 2.5kg stays at 2000m. Maps well behind what looks like a fast tempo. Last start Flemington BM80 was held up 500m off an even tempo but strong when clear inside in the straight and won by 2.3L. Closing figures there were ok but not as fast as they looked visually. Having a super prep though and putting margins on fields in most races is always a great sign. Up to 59kg today but looks hard to beat again.

R5 n2 GENEROSITY – Resumes off 140days and 950m trial April 8 was outstanding. Will get back on this map but fast tempo up front will allow her to unwind late over the top of these while fresh. She has outstanding closing figures and should be too good for these.
R6n6 TWAIN’S ANGEL – Resumes off 217 days but has had two trails and won them both. Will go straight to the front on this map and with claim she is just too well weighted v these rivals. Both her wins last prep were outstanding and she is destined for better races than this. Should just lead/win today.
