Keen to see OBSERVER (2) tackle some stronger opposition off the back of a dominant five length victory at Sandown Lakeside last time out. Controlled the race there and walked in, running fast time in the process. Looks Group class and it's been no surprise to see him into the red early. BELLA PIETRA (10) appreciated the rise to this trip at Pakenham when running out an easy three length victor. Stays right down in the weights after the claim and can measure up. MILLENNIUM BLADE (3) has been good in two runs to date, sticking on well over 1200m at Caulfield last time. Should have no issues up in trip again and has claims. BUCCLEUCH (4) was sent for an easy kill at Echuca last time and did so at the prohibitive $1.14 quote. The run behind Highvol prior is good form. IMPENDING WAR (1) has won both starts to date and is hard to knock.

My Pick

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Wodonga 2yo Hcp May 24 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Brenlyn's Legacy with 58kg at $1.85. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Swan Hill Vg_Elvstroem June 6 over 1300m defeating Miss Ellaneous carrying 57kg at $2.20. Going well, this is a good test.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at Echuca Mdn-Sw June 3 over 1412m on a soft track defeating Savvie Blanc with 57kg at $1.14. Before that 2nd of 12 at this track 2yo Hcp on May 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Highvol carrying 54.5kg at $12. Plenty of scope for further improvement.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation 13th of 15 at this track in the G2 Vrc Sires' March 8 over 1400m, 10 len behind Vinrock carrying 57kg at $17. On debut second of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo Mdn-Sw February 5 over 1200m, a nose behind Tom with 58kg at $6. Possible improver.

Colt by Fiorente making his first appearance. Finished fourth in a Cranbourne jump-out on May 26. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Recent form sound. At the latest run won by 3 len at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw May 29 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Heiwana Tamashi with 56kg at $4.80. Before that led but faded 2nd of 10 at Donald 2yo SW on May 3 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Diamond Gust carrying 56kg at $7. Progressive sort who should measure up.
