R6 n11 PRINCISS RHAENYS Gets well back on map and will need tempo up front to suit her big finish. 4 up off 14 days and drops 6kg weight and out to 2020m (+210). Now 350 days since last win (9 rural. Was keen mid-race last start when 2* to Madame Odette beaten 0.4L at $3.10. Dominant close that race off a good tempo and now ready to win. Drying track is also in her favour. Blinkers off this prep as she can over race and gets a new jockey today at the 52kg in B Thompson- she is not the easiest mare to ride though. If she settles here early in race and gets normal tempo up front she should run right over the top of these late
R7 n3 SHOW ME MERCY Gets VG map today right behind this tempo inside- there should be no excuses from there. 2* up off 14 days and out to 1350m (+150ml off resuming, run 3″ to Abounding, beaten 0.3L at 55- well backed there late and had huge closing figures for entire meeting from that race. Has had five race starts 1000-1200m and has closed off hard in every one of them off slow to even tempos. He finally gets a FAST tempo up front here and l am expecting him to stand right up late and put this Field away
RE n1 COMRADE ROSA Map should be ok mid held and will get to outside in straight. 3rd up off 35 days and VG 3rd to Hatchet in 1000m Doomben trial Dec 19 in between. Stays at 1200m which suits off this set up. Excelant win here last start and had huge closing figures off a fast tempo with 59kg. This tempo and race shape are ideal again for her and she will zoom home out in the middle late today. Very good mare in the zone for the Gollan stable.
RID a7 NAMAS TWO Gets well back on inside but does have b Shinn and this tempo is ideal for him- will need luck and a good ride but can still win from there. 2nd up off 24 days and drops Zig weight out to 1200m(+100m) Now 705 days since last win (11 runs). With new stable in OLD (A Campton) and ex HK horse. Checked badly at start last start when 3rd at Ipswich 1o Hardware Lane beaten 0.7L at $11 and should have won easily. Has some huge figures from HK last prep and had excuses in a lot of his races over there. Looks better than these and only needs clear air early in the straight to run over the top late.

RS n2 NAVAL COLLEGE Good map here 3rd inside on leaders back – gets map favours. 2nd up off 14 days and rises 4kg out to 2000m off last start 8° when held up and not fully tested beaten 2.8L by Grebeni at 58-was well backed there late. Form last prep was VG and he seems lke he has come back even better. Maps well and has a big figure here last prep at 2000m on a Slow S track that wins this race clearly. Nice horse well placed with claim.
R6 n7 LOUISVILLE Back last on map and SLOW Tempo up front is against him here although he will race closer to the lead group. 4ª up off 14 days and rises 1kg weight out to 1600m (+200m) which suits ideally. Nice horse that finished off his last prep with two close losses but figures were good he was always going to come back well this prep. All three runs this time in have been good and lust start 2* to Felix Majestic sets the standard for this race. The leader there just got away from the entire filed. they lost sight of him. His closing figures were outstanding and he should be too good for these today despite the map/tempo being against him- is screaming out for 1600m.
R8 N2 DOLLAR MAGIC Nice map 4th behind leaders. 7th run for prep off 14 days and roes 2kg weight out to 1100m (+100m) Now 238 days since last win (7 runs). Keeps running second but last two losses to Legio Ten and Time to Boogie read very well for this class of race off this map back to F8M class. Carries weight well and back to 1100m another plus for her-overall figures are excellent and gets her chance to finally win a race today.
R9 n11 STEP ASIDE Has option to be 4th in 1/1 here. 3rd up off 21 days and drops 2kg weight stays at 1400m. Zero luck last start was off heels at 500m and lost ground and then held up 600-150-m – Botal forgive run and still ran 2**. Really nice horse and both runs this time back has figures that are clearly on top of this feld and has had traffic issues in both of them. Collet has won on him twice previously. Destined for much better races than this dass and off what looks like a perfect map he looks a great bet.

R4 nIS EXCEED THE DREAM Nice map right behind the pressure up front- well suited. 3rd up off 15 days and drops 1kg weight stays at 1200m. Was keen early last start winning a weak maiden very easily and had VG L600 there for meeting. Form ok from race since. Both runs for C Maher (ex P Stoles) have been good. Suited here tempo wise and talented. Very hard to beat.
R$ nS INDEPENDENT ROAD Leads off a VSLOW tempo or sits 2nd to Tycoon Bec and well suited. 3rd up off 21 days and drops 6kg weight which is significant. Looks a different horse this prep since blinkers have come off- last two runs very good for here. Jumped from 1500-2000m 2nd up and very brave late winning with 59kg on Heavy track. Lot better back here on dry. Has a bank of figures that can win this race and looks clear top pick off this map.
R7 n1 ZAMBORGHINI Nice map Mid Field this tempo will have clear run home options from there. 4 up off 15 days and claim important off last start win in BM64 race today. Still to tick off the 1600m box but the way he hit the line last start here it 1523m off a VFAST tempo that shouldn’t be in issue. Very good dosing figures there is always a sign of quality and all his dry track form is VG. Different horse since been gelded, unbeaten at M Valley and clear top pick this race.
R3 n6 PEACE TREATY VG map forward inside on leaders back: D lane dangerous from there. He is a key jockey change today also. 3rd up off 17 days and drops 3kg weight stays at 1200m. Was keen early and mid stages winning last start and held up 300-200m winning on Slow track. Both wins and it runs so far have been on wet tracks. Keen she goes better on dry today. Nothing outstanding in any of her figures so far but you just get the feeling that she will go to another level today on the dry track in her target race for prep with D Lane
