This horse has turned into a mini-PRIDE OF JENNI! We sizzled him two starts back when +2.0 lengths above benchmark ranked 2nd on the day over 1800, and here he's just hung on out to 2000, but after a blistering first split of +10.2 lengths above benchmark. Understandably tapered from there with -0.7 and -6.7 last two sections, and is near certain to "feel" this run. However with ideally 3-5 weeks between runs, this level can see him remain very hard to get past as he makes the chasers feel pain! There's a similar class 1850 at the Newcastle standalone day 14/11 which looks ideal.

Subsequently: Winner Randwick 24/10

Excellent trial with just one prep to date and is now gelded. -9.1 at the 800, before +3.8 and +2.5 last two sections peaking on his run late losing 0.6 of a length over the last 200. This was also seen via the 2nd best last 800, the 3rd best last 600 and 400, but the 12th best last 200 of the day. Won at Muswellbrook with -3.9 ranked 3rd of the 1st of May meeting, before starting favourite and failing Gosford. Should return at a brand new level.

Subsequently: Winner Kembla 24/10

5yo mare who missed nearly a year's racing after a Group 1 placing in the Vinery autumn 2025, but resumed a winner on bog heavy ground April earlier this year, and was spelled after an Eagle Farm 5th with -1.4 lengths below benchmark. Off a short break ran 3rd in the high class Goulburn Cup when producing a new PB of +0.9 lengths above benchmark. As such this effortless win is the "sideways" run to now get to a new level. -0.3 at the 800 when stalking the lead was actually 4 lengths slower race to race. +1.2 in the mid race and +2.7 last 400 racing away. Should have more wins in store this time in.

Subsequently: Unplaced Epsom 05/10. Winner Randwick 24/10

REPOST AFTER 2026 COX PLATE WIN

Created a boom in bolting in Belmont 20/09 with a best of the day performance of -0.9, which he matched off a 6 week freshen here 01/11 over 1400 metres. Since then he's climbed going +1.1, +1.3 and a booming +2.6 in winning his Group 1. Perfect Johnston-Porter ride going +8.2 lengths above benchmark in the "sweet spot" 4.2 lengths from the flying leader. -0.4 in the mid race as the field slowed, before finding under full pressure with +3.1 last 400. He's now at the top of the tree in WA racing on current profiles, but his challenge this Saturday is to immediately find speed in his legs back to 1400 in the Gold Rush.

Subsequently: 2nd Gold Rush 13/12. Spelled stable and state switch. First up Caulfield Bletchingly winner 25/07

An outstanding return from the Group 1 WA winner of last carnival's Northerly over 1800 metres when producing his PB of +2.6 lengths above benchmark over Railway winner WATCH ME ROCK. Just -7.5 lengths below benchmark at the 800 when 2.7 lengths from the soft tempo leader, before he "went to work" big time. +0.5 from the 800 to 400 meaning a booming 8 length squeeze, before +1.9 last 400. The 200 increments told a tale. +1.9 from the 600 to 400, which he matched from the 400 to 200, before just +0.1 last 200. That taper strongly suggests more to come and soon! The Lawrence looks ideal next start.

Subsequently: Winner Lawrence 15/08

REPOST AFTER COX PLATE WIN 

The perfect tick over trial to elevate her to run to her +0.6 to +0.8 range best from here. Just -13.2 and -7.3 first two sections, but her close was slick with +0.5 last 400 with all of that over the last 200 in isolation, under a good hold. Comes off 4th in both runs this time in at Randwick and Newcastle in stakes races, and her best two IVR times were when winning and running 2nd at $51 and $19, as well as a Listed win at $26 so has a history of over-achieving when being underestimated by the market.

Subsequently: 2nd Invitational at $71!

Won with a barrier trial! What a 2nd up cruise going just -4.4 lengths below benchmark stalking the lead pack at the 800, before -1.6 in the mid race, and +4.4 last 400 with J Mac along with the horse in 2nd gear. Last bit best bit +2.6 which was the 6th best last 200 of the day. Won her Group 1 here in March with an outstanding +3.9 lengths above benchmark, which she backed up when 2nd in the All Aged to BEIWACHT with +3.0. The Invitational looks next and she should take a power of beating, with possibly the Five Diamonds after???

Subsequently: Winner Invitational Randwick 24/10

3rd in last year's Metro when +1.5 lengths above benchmark, and this time won after an outstanding lead in a fortnight earlier when producing a new PB of +2.5 lengths above benchmark in a brutally run 2000 on a firm deck. This was a complete contrast with his lead speed to the 800 going just -18.1 lengths below benchmark so 20.3 lengths slower race to race albeit on a softer track. However a booming 19.4 length mid race with +1.3 from the 800 to 400 before a +6.8 last 400 close. This was the 17th best last 400 at the end of 2400 meaning a brilliant sprint. Could have another big win in him this spring!

Subsequently: Winner Moonee Valley Cup Flemington 24/10

Lightly raced 5yo mare whose made it 6 wins from 11 starts and produced a booming new PB in the process from +0.8 here last spring carnival when bolting in over 1440. This time after -1.4 resuming at Rosehill elevated due to excellent sustained lead speed. +4.2 at the 800 stalking the leader, before pressuring her with +5.1 so a brilliant +9.3 lengths above benchmark combined first two sections. Tapered with +0.2 last 400 losing 1.4 lengths over the last 200 in isolation. That strongly suggests potential for a further elevation. Like many if she goes to the Empire Rose will hope PRIDE OF JENNI doesn't!

Subsequently: Winner Flemington 24/10

High class WA sprinter who could still have his best in front of him, and this "just missed" Eastern seaboard performance now says that wet ground is no issue. -3.6 at the 800 when 3.4 lengths from the lead, before -0.1 and -4.1 last 400. Did lose 2.6 lengths over the last 200, and improved overall by 2.6 lengths race to race from SA first up, saying "peak to come". Has an Ascot PB of +2.2 over 1100 and won a feature at Northam with +1.4. The McEwan back here Cox Plate Day looks ideal and is a long range big odds chance in the Champions Sprint to consider.

Subsequently: Winner Flemington 24/10

Unraced filly in her 2nd prep having trialled twice May/June, and she's set to take a power of beating on debut, noting she was 2nd best overall on a day with multiple stakes runners. -6.2 stalking the lead, before -0.4 in the midrace and a excellent +5.1 last 400. The sustained quality was seen via the best last 800 of the session, after her lead in trial here a fortnight earlier when dashing home with the best last 200 of the morning with a blistering +4.5 close.

Subsequently: Winner Hawkesbury 08/10 Winner Brian Crowley Randwick 24/10

1000 metre races = 1000 metre horses! This mare brought up her 5th win from 9 starts this trip, and her best IVR figure to date thanks to a perfect Damian Lane ride. -3.0 at the 800, before +1.7 mid race and +4.2 last 400 which was the biggest last 400 sprint of her career and the 7th best of the day. Staying in short course sprints she'll remain very hard to catch!

Subsequently: Spelled missing 275 days racing. 4th up winner Flemington 24/10
