Verdict

HELL TO PAY (1) never looked likely in a much hotter affair last start and drops back in class here. Proven at this trip and kind draw another plus. SUMMER SOIREE (2) was well supported but fluffed her lines up in grade last start. Genuine mare who can return serve this time. ZOUNAKA (5) can take up a handy position early and bankroll her good recent form into a longer trip. Has a fitness edge. HEESEN (4) bolted in last start at the same trip. Tougher draw and extra pudding make it a tougher task but is on the up and up. HOU LONG GWAI (6) beat a moderate field on debut but recent trials have been solid in open class. Market watch advised.

Useful type. At the latest run 10th of 18 at Gold Coast in the LR Mm 3yo Guineas on January 17 over 1400m, 4 len behind Bosustow carrying 56kg at $21. The race before that came from midfield and won by 1.2 len at Sunshine Coast Mm Mdn January 4 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Stardeel with 57kg at $2.20. Has ability and expected to do much better.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming won by 1.3 len at Kembla Grange Mid Mdn-Sw January 4 over 1000m defeating Miss Jones carrying 55.5kg at $2.25. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track Mid Cl1 on January 21 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Cryptonic with 56kg at $3. Should be thereabouts.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at this track F&M Bm64 on January 10 over 1250m, slow going 4 len behind Flying Thinker carrying 57.5kg at $2.05. The start before that favourite; scored a big 8 len win at Wyong 4yo+ Mdn December 21 over 1300m defeating Hoo Haa with 56kg at $1.14. Sure to measure up here.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by a head at Canberra Mdn September 20 over 1000m defeating Dressed In Gray carrying 57.5kg at $3.50. Has plenty of upside.

Raced twice to date. As favourite at debut, second last in a small field at Canterbury 3yo Mdn on December 20 over 1250m, 5.5 len behind Stagnum carrying 57kg at $6.50. Second-up scored a big 5 len win at Kembla Grange Mdn January 4 over 1300m defeating Acknowledged carrying 55.5kg at $4.80. Harder here but can go on with it.

Second run back. First-up after five months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Muswellbrook Cl1 on January 2 over 1280m, slow going 3.5 len behind Puerto Banus with 60.5kg at $9.50. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at this track Cl1 on June 15 over 1400m, in the wet; 10 len behind She's Unusual with 59kg at $11. Looking to others.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Not seen since winning won by 1.3 len Tamworth Mdn-Sw September 16 over 1600m defeating Just Breathe carrying 59kg at $2.30. On debut seventh of 12 at Kembla Grange Mdn August 17 over 1200m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Dance To The Boom with 59kg at $9. Prefer to see.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 9 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on December 28 over 1300m, 6 len behind C'mon Mate with 56.5kg at $13. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at Kembla Grange F&M Bm64 on August 10 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Little Baia carrying 58.5kg at $6. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

At the latest run won by a head at this track Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw January 21 over 1300m defeating Sunset Park carrying 55.5kg at $13. The start before that led to the turn then faded second last of 7 at Taree Mdn on January 7 over 1250m, slow going 3.5 len behind Thebes with 55kg at $4.20. Hard to enthuse as she is not too reliable.
