Race Overview

BARBER (1) needs to show something here. Not sure back to 1000m is ideal but he does bring the best form into this. He was strong late first up behind Ozzmosis before an even effort last time in the G2 Roman Consul. Much easier here, gets McDonald on, it's D-Day. STANISLAUS (3) was behind Barber when they met at Rosehill but has since beaten the older horses with a tough effort. Handy type who should run well here. WIGGUM (5) brings different form from South Australia but has talent and looks progressive. Doesn't need to improve much to be in the finish. REVALENE (8) has run second at both starts to date against two smart types and should be thereabouts. CAPITALISATION (9) broke through for a dominant maiden win last time and had run second to stakes winner Gumdrops prior. In the mix.

Group 3 winner. Third-up today. First-up eased back early on 5th of 8 at Rosehill in the LR Heritage on September 23 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Ozzmosis carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell 6th of 8 at Rosehill in the G2 Rom Consul on October 7 over 1200m, 2 len behind King's Gambit carrying 56.5kg at $6. Brings the right form and if he runs to his best he'll go close.

Third-up today. Resuming won by 1.3 len at Murray Bridge 3yo Bm62 October 7 over 1000m defeating Give Some Lip with 60.5kg at $3.

Brings some different form but has talent, don't dismiss lightly.

Useful type. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 21 over 1200m, 3 len behind Arkansaw Kid with 56kg at $41. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Moe Bm64 September 28 over 1017m defeating Not Enough Effort carrying 56.5kg at $5. Can give a sight.

Second-up 2nd of 8 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm70 on October 27 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Celui carrying 56kg at $3. Progressing nicely, should be thereabouts.
