Race Overview

MAFIA (2) has fitness on his side third up. Sent to Victoria at latest when stalked the speed and ranged up inside 200m before finding a couple better when third over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside on June 10. Well drawn again and gives the impression Flemington will suit. SPRING EAGLE (3) looked good to the eye when winning on debut at Sale, then shuffled back from an inside draw and failed to get into the race when eighth over 1000m at Caulfield on June 24. Improvement expected out to the 1200m. EXTREME SPIRIT (1) resumes after a four-and-a-half month break. Beat MAFIA on debut at Kensington last February, then thrown into the deep end when ninth behind Corniche in the Skyline Stakes G2 at Randwick on February 25. Finished fourth in a recent trial and gives the impression he will train on. STELLAR OLYMPUS (4) is a two-year-old gelding by Starspangledbanner from Hera on debut for the Ben & Jd Hayes yard. Dam was a dual G2 winner in NZ and jump-outs have been sound.
