PAULELE AT DARLEY
Results
DANCING ALONE (2) comes to Melbourne having been beaten for the first time at Randwick last start. Her form at the provincials prior showed plenty of promise and this looks an easier race than last time. Can see her suited to the straight. PORT ALBERT (3) ran well behind an in-form mare at Sandown-Hillside first up, finishing third and beaten just 1.5 lengths. Doesn't win out of turn but drops in class for this and should be highly competitive. STANISLAUS (12) has always shown a bit of talent and got the job done at Gosford last time out for his second win. Might be able to go on with it now. ETIENNE (10) won comfortably first up at Morphettville Parks. Harder here but is coming along nicely. DIO (1) is racing well and his run two back down the straight behind Najem Suhail reads very well.

Useful type. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at Sale Bm70 September 10 over 1000m defeating Joltin' Joe carrying 57.5kg at $2.40. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Bm78 on July 15 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Najem Suhail with 53kg at $7.50. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

The run before that favourite; won by a head at Kembla Grange Bm64 August 12 over 1000m defeating Jedibeel carrying 60.5kg at $1.20. Not far away last time. Progressive type who should measure up.

Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Mornington Bm78 on April 22 over 1600m, 6 len behind Maracana with 58.5kg at $41. Fitter but must improve sharply.
Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Morphettville Parks Bm84 July 15 over 1000m, soft track; 3 len behind Pegasi with 54kg at $3. Previously first up; eighth of 11 at Warrnambool Bm64 December 8 over 1100m, 3 len behind Snappy Li'l Thing with 59kg at $4. May need this run.

Previous preparation first-up won by neck Morphettville Nmw Bm70 June 24 over 1050m on heavy track defeating Floral Oasis carrying 57.5kg at $7. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

The race before that 6th of 9 at Cranbourne Bm70 on August 20 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Get Up Girl carrying 57.5kg at $12. Hard to have on recent performances.

The start before that won by 3 len at Warrnambool 0 - 58 August 20 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Dream Brother with 58kg at $1.60. Expected to be doing her best work late.
Last start 2nd in a small field at Cranbourne Bm64 on September 7 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Nokhbah carrying 60.5kg at $19. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Cranbourne Bm70 on August 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Get Up Girl with 57.5kg at $14. Needs to lift.
