WEDNESDAY 28th OCTOBER - WARWICK FARM

Rail Position:+5m 1000m - W/Post, +3m Remainder

Savvy Spy - Race 2, 3.35pm, 2400m, T Clark 54.0kg

Adrian and I are delighted with how Savvy Spy is going following his impressive win at Hawkesbury last time out. He finished strong over 2000 metres and we were particularly pleased with the way he went through the line. Stepping up to 2400 metres is the natural progression for him now that he is deeper into his preparation. He does rise in grade, but he gets in with just 54 kilos and has drawn nicely in barrier 4. With only seven runners, Tim should be able to find a comfortable position and give him every chance to see out the distance strongly. He has continued to please us at home, and we expect him to be tough to beat.

Criteria - Race 2, 3.35pm, 2400m, R Bayliss 55.0kg

Adrian and I are delighted with how Criteria is progressing this preparation. He has been racing consistently, winning impressively over 2000 metres at Kembla Grange before finishing a close third at Rosehill over 2400 metres last time out. We were particularly pleased with that effort, and he has shown that he is well suited by the staying distance. He does rise in grade here, but he drops to 55 kilos and has drawn nicely in barrier 3. Regan should be able to land in a forward position without doing too much work and give him every chance in the small field. He is fit, thriving and we expect him to run another very competitive race for you all.

Hellabella - Race 4, 4.45pm, 1100m, T Clark 58.5kg

Adrian and I are delighted with how Hellabella is going following her impressive win at Hawkesbury last time out. She travelled strongly and was controlling the race before drawing clear to win by 1.4 lengths. We were particularly pleased with that performance, and she has continued to thrive since. She steps up in grade here but remains at 1100 metres, which clearly suits her. She has drawn nicely in barrier 3, so Tim should be able to use her natural speed to settle in a forward position without doing too much work. She is fit and well, and we expect her to run another very competitive race for you all.

Love Story - Race 5, 5.20pm, 1400m, T Clark 58.0kg

Adrian and I were delighted to see that your patience with Love Story paid off last time out with an impressive win at Kensington over 1400 metres. She controlled the race from the front and drew clear to win by over three lengths. She now steps up in grade but remains at 1400 metres, which suits her, and she has continued to improve since that run. She has drawn barrier 8, but her natural gate speed will allow Tim to roll forward and find a prominent position. She is a progressive mare who still has plenty of improvement to come, and we expect her to run another very competitive race for you all.

WEDNSDAY 28th OCTOBER - BENDIGO

Rail Position: True Entire Circuit

The Euphrates - Race 8, 4.55pm, 2400m, J Stanley 60.0kg

The Euphrates was below his best last time out, but we all know he is capable of much better. His form earlier this preparation was excellent and we are confident he can reproduce that tomorrow. He has drawn barrier 7, so Jett will look to use his natural speed to settle in a prominent position and control the race. He carries 60 kilos, but he brings strong staying form into this race and we expect him to bounce back and run a bold race for you all.
