BE A MATE, NOMINATE TROPHY

AUSTMARR (1) has to carry top weight but could be a bit of value here. She's a handy filly who won two in a row to start last campaign over 1000m before tackling G3 company and struggling when single figures. 1100m at this level suits and she'll take some catching. SPICY MARGS (3) ran much better second up on good ground at Geelong, beaten by a handy type. Will be on speed and hard to get past. STEFI MAGNETICA (7) brings completely different form, far too good at Orange in a Bm58 first up. Very wary of the stable bringing her here but the early price does look skinny. RHETORICAL (6) was just even second up but can improve off what she showed fresh. POWER BALLARD (5) should be thereabouts and must be respected.

Previously second-up won by 1.75 len at Pakenham Synthetic F&M Mdn-Sw September 1 over 1200m defeating Adlerian carrying 55.5kg at $1.50. Could go on with it.
Third-up today. First-up second last in a small field at Ballarat Mm Classic on December 9 over 1100m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Baroque Road carrying 54kg at $4.50. Second run from a spell set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Geelong 3yo Hcp on January 6 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Carbonados with 54kg at $15. Fitter now and making headway.

Useful filly. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Warwick Farm F&M Bm72 on December 20 over 1100m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Shaken carrying 56kg at $5. The run before that faded in the straight of 9 at Canterbury F&M Bm72 on December 8 over 1100m, 3 len behind Afterlight carrying 56kg at $4.50. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd in a small field at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm64 on December 8 over 1000m, head behind Our Cracklin Rosie with 59kg at $5.50.

Previously second-up 3rd of 13 at Warwick Farm 2yo F Mdn-Sw on July 19 over 1100m, slow going 2 len behind French Endeavour with 56kg at $5. Smart win first up, this will be a good test.

Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Mornington Cl1 on December 28 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Gronkowski carrying 56kg at $3.80. Could improve.
