HEDGED (4) resumes here having gone to the paddock on a high, absolutely bolting in at Sandown-Hillside having run 4th to Veight, beaten 1.7 lengths at Caulfield prior. He's won a jump out leading in and can measure right up. AKICITA (8) resumes and creates plenty of interest. A dominant winner on debut, he started favourite and was beaten a head by Australian Guineas winner Southport Tycoon prior to a spell. Will get over further in time but has plenty of talent. GUMDROPS (3) is a progressive filly who won both starts last time in, the latest at listed level. Very wary. LOST (6) won well at the midweeks last start and has race fitness over a few key rivals. HANCHI (2) can improve.

Group 3 winner. Resuming after a break of 11 months. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Randwick in the G3 Kindgarten April 1 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Libertad carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.3 len Sandown-Hillside G3 Chairman's Stk February 4 2023 over 1000m slow track defeating Veecee carrying 59kg at $7.50. Good enough but might need this.
At the latest run 5th of 9 at Caulfield Bm84 on February 24 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Twin Perfection carrying 55kg at $11. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Ascot Rtg 72+ on January 1 over 1200m, neck behind Stormchaser with 57kg at $2.50. Can figure.
Resuming. Finished off last campaign by nose Moonee Valley LR Crockett October 28 over 1200m defeating Saltaire carrying 56kg at $5.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.8 len Ballarat Mdn-Sw October 2 over 1100m defeating Capitalisation carrying 55kg at $2.80. Nice filly who should acquit herself well.

Sandown-Hillside 3yo Hcp October 1 over 1000m defeating Catahoula carrying 59kg at $3. Previously first up; fourth of 12 at Moonee Valley 2yo C&G Hcp July 29 over 1000m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Title Fighter with 55.5kg at $3.50. Rates highly.

Second run from a spell 17th of 19 at this track Inglis Sprint on March 2 over 1200m, 17 len behind Estriella with 56.5kg at $51. Needs to lift.
Third-up today. First-up raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Caulfield 3yo F Bm70 on February 3 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Diamond Decorator with 58kg at $3.30. Second-up favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Sandown-Lakeside F&M Bm70 February 21 over 1200m defeating Lazy Susan with 57.5kg at $1.80. Last-start winner worth including.
