OFF THE TRACK TROPHY
Results
TONNEOFGRIT (7) looks a nice bet here. He comes here third-up having run really well here first up behind Pascero, beaten 2 lengths in fourth. He was again behind Pascero last time in an open handicap at Caulfield but looks ideally placed in this over 1600m. MIRACLE SPIN (3) won very well at Randwick last time out and should be further improved. May want a touch further now but will be very hard to hold out with D Lane on. PIAGGIO (9) won well two back before bucking at the start and taking no part last time. Forgive that, he has to be a serious chance. CAPTAIN BRITAIN (8) struggled at Ballarat on the heavy two back but bounced back with a better run last time. In the mix. SUPARAZI (2) can mix his form but is good enough.

Resuming after a break of seven months. Finished off last preparation second last of 9 at this track Bm100 June 3 over 2520m, soft track; 17 len behind Teofilo Star carrying 54kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign tenth of 14 at Randwick Bm88 February 25 over 2000m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Glory Daze carrying 58.5kg at $101. This looks a stern test.
Useful gelding. At the latest run 7th of 11 at Randwick Cg&E Bm78 on December 16 over 1400m, 5 len behind Felix Majestic with 60kg at $9.50. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 11 at Canberra Open on November 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Super Helpful carrying 56kg at $9. Just fair last time but is up to these.

Second-up won by 2.25 len at Randwick Bm78 December 30 over 1600m defeating Louisville carrying 59kg at $6.50. Looks hard to beat again.
Dual acceptor. Useful gelding. Most recently 4th of 9 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on December 30 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Real Sensation carrying 58.5kg at $17. Before that failed to make an impression; second last of 7 at Wodonga Wodonga Cup on November 24 over 1590m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Another One with 55.5kg at $1.70. No surprise if he was in the finish.

Before that 2nd in a small field at Caulfield Bm70 on December 26 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Plenty Of Ammo with 61.5kg at $41. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Second run from a spell got back early 5th of 9 at Caulfield Hcp on December 16 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Pascero with 54.5kg at $4.50. Suited here and will be hard to hold out.

Group 3 placegetter. Useful gelding. At the latest run didn't finish the race at Moonee Valley Bm84 December 30 over 1600m. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Caulfield Bm70 December 16 over 1600m defeating Montather with 57.5kg at $3.50. Wipe last start, he's right in this.
Most recently 5th of 9 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on December 30 over 1600m, 2 len behind Real Sensation carrying 55.5kg at $9.50. Before that 6th of 10 at Moonee Valley Bm78 on December 23 over 1600m, 3 len behind Flash Feeling carrying 58kg at $19. Tough assignment.

Needs more time.
