BE A MATE, NOMINATE TROPHY
Results
MANOLO BLING (1) was off a decent break last start at Geelong and was okay over 1100m when well supported, not beaten far in sixth. The run before that break she won well here over 1000m and put up a good number. She should be fitter here and rates highly. Big watch on KIRRIBILLI (2) who resumes having won well on debut before measuring up well when third in the G3 Quezette Stakes at Caulfield. She's a well bred filly who can return in winning form. PRINCESS QUE (3) beat a smart one in Sweethearted two back at Moonee Valley, with that filly since winning twice, before she was only overrun very late last time. She'll be up there and should be hard to get by. LA VIE EN (7) won easily as favourite fresh at Warrnambool and has plenty of upside. ACTUALITY (6) was a narrow winner on debut at Geelong in September and could measure up here fresh.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Geelong 3yo Hcp on January 4 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Sweethearted with 56.5kg at $3.40. The race before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track 3yo SWP November 5 over 1000m defeating Hedonist carrying 55.5kg at $8.50. Fitter and rates highly on best form.
Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 Quezette August 17 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Drifting with 56kg at $19. At her first start won by long-neck Cranbourne 3yo F Mdn-Sw August 1 over 1200m slow track defeating Maycomb carrying 57kg at $5.50. Looks ideally placed.
Most recently 2nd in a small field at Moonee Valley Vg Carat on December 28 over 1200m, nose behind Just For Show with 55kg at $1.95. The race before that favourite; won by 2.25 len at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw December 6 over 1200m defeating Sweethearted with 56kg at $13. Nice type, should take beating.
Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 5th of 10 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on December 28 over 1000m, 3 len behind Fickle with 55.5kg at $12. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Moe Mdn-Sw July 12 over 1000m on a heavy track defeating Alotofsoju with 55kg at $2.80. Fitter, possible improver.
Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 10 at Pakenham 3yo Bm74 on December 21 over 1200m, 4 len behind Sweethearted with 56.5kg at $12. Before that came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Kyneton F&M Bm58 December 12 over 1103m defeating Viperion with 55.5kg at $4.20. Going well, can figure.
Resuming after a break; only one run when favourite; won by a nose at Geelong 3yo F Mdn-Sw September 1 over 1125m defeating Areyoureadyforit with 57kg at $2.30. Nicely placed to kick off where she left off.
Second-up. First start 3rd of 12 at Warrnambool V Gold Strike on April 30 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Harpalee carrying 57kg at $3.50. Returned from break favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw December 31 over 1100m defeating All The Way Baby with 56kg at $1.95. Don't underestimate.
Racing first-up today. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Crockett October 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind Certain Rise with 56kg at $14. At her first start won by nose Sale Mdn-Sw October 9 over 1110m slow track defeating Aquilion Girl carrying 55kg at $1.80. Likely improver this prep and can figure in the finish.
Second-up. First start 3rd of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Blue Stratum carrying 56kg at $61. Returned from break favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw January 2 over 1000m defeating Delicate Lady carrying 56kg at $2.80. Tougher here and the ratings indicate she will struggle to feature in the finish.
Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently couldn't go on with it; ran last of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm64 on December 13 over 1000m, 7 len behind It's A Yes carrying 57kg at $14. The race before that won by 0.8 len at Caulfield Heath 3yo Mdn November 20 over 1000m defeating Capitalex with 54.5kg at $6.50. Has ability but looks tested again.
Third-up today. First-up eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Geelong 3yo F Mdn-Sw on December 13 over 1143m, 2 len behind Star Of Ida with 57kg at $2. Second-up favourite; won by 3.5 len at Stawell 3yo Mdn-Sw January 3 over 1102m defeating Pinkerton with 56kg at $1.85. Harder here but looks promising.
Resuming. Only had one start last campaign tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Benalla 3yo Mdn-Sw October 28 over 1206m defeating Looselipssinkships with 56kg at $6. First up last campaign 7th of 12 at Bendigo 2yo F Mdn-Sw on June 27 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Versaille with 57kg at $26. Ran 3rd in a Wodonga trial over 800m on January 6. Tougher here resuming and needs to have come on to threaten this lot.
Third-up today. Resuming sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm64 on December 13 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind It's A Yes with 56.5kg at $19. Last start 2nd in a small field at Cranbourne Cl1 on December 28 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Dapper Darri with 57kg at $4.40. Still needs to find a bit more.
