WEDNESDAY 28th OCTOBER - WARWICK FARM

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

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.

THURSDAY 26th OCTOBER - WYONG

Rail Position: +3m Entire

Victorious Ruler - Race 5, 3.40pm, 1625m, R King 55.0kg

Adrian and I were very pleased with Victorious Ruler's effort at Hawkesbury last time out, where she fought all the way to the line to finish a good second over 1600 metres despite being a touch wide. She was much more effective stepping up to the mile, and we expect her to improve further with that experience under her belt. She remains at 1600 metres and has drawn barrier 10, so Rachel will look to use her natural speed to roll forward and find a handy position. She is fit and well, has continued to please us at home and we expect her to run a bold race for you all.

Koibito - Race 5, 3.40pm, 1625m, R Bayliss 57.0kg

Adrian and I are pleased with how Koibito is going ahead of tomorrow’s race. We feel she just needed that first run over 1600 metres at Warwick Farm last time out, and with that experience under her belt we expect her to improve. She showed good promise when finishing a close second at Newcastle earlier this preparation, and her fitness is now right up to the mark. She has drawn a little wide in barrier 12, so Regan will look to get her into a comfortable rhythm and give her every chance. She has continued to please us at home, and we expect her to run a much more competitive race for you all.
