Nice return when getting up along the inside to win narrowly, importantly stable said will be a stack of improvement to come so i think we can follow it 2nd and 3rd up if placed in right races.

Not convinced this race was much good, first two dominated the race. This girl just looks in need of a bigger track and a mile, think Flemington is her go. She's probably the only one I'd want to be following out of the race.

Smart mare who was very impressive, was impressive and once let go she pounced on the leader, she will be dangerous in anything going forward this spring.

Sneaky good run behind Point Barrow, got back and made up nice ground, she has a race in her this spring and probably get decent odds.

Excellent win in the Underwood, really put them away very comfortably once Melham pushed the button, has always shown ability and is now putting it all together, he is clearly going to be in contention in any of the big races going forward.

Clearly the horse to beat in Caulfield Cup, was given a great ride, looked into it around the turn and once fully let go he was really drawing away from them late. Going to be awfully hard to beat in anything going forward.

Lovely little run, looks to be ticking over very nicely heading to a Melbourne Cup, his work through the line was as good as anything and once he gets to the big Flemington track he will be far better suited. In a smart stable and they will have him spot on and peaking for the Cup.

Another eye catcher making very good ground down the outside, he is coming along nicely as well and is one at big odds who with no weight can be very competitive in a Caulfield Cup.

Good run over this trip, slightly held up in straight which stopped him a bit but work was well and truly good enough, 2400m+ and he is right in the game on any dry ground.

Excellent run in the Sir Rupert Clarke 1st up, just got run down late, will be fitter for that run and looks in for a good spring campaign. He is going to be dangerous 2nd and 3rd up.

Thought he ran pretty well 1st up, led them up and fought on really strongly to hold 3rd, he will only get fitter and his racing style makes him very hard to get past once he is fully fit.

Not sure he beat much but didn't he do it effortlessly, he just does everything right, pops himself up on speed so he is always giving himself the best chance. Stable will just keep him ticking through his grades, will win more races this preparation.

Went around massive odds and ran a cracking 2nd. Had a lovely run and presented at top of straight, hit a flat spot but work through the line was very strong. May be on the Derby path worth following through.

Smart type, led and was holding them all off pretty comfortable on the line. Probably even better suited with something to chase. In for a good spring.

Not in same class as the winner but really liked its work through the line, if they target the 2nd level races he is capable of winning again.

Eye catching return at huge odds, last 200m was sensational. Suited over further, going to be hard to beat wherever he goes next.

Got back and was able to grab onto Sheza Alibi, didn't have her turn of foot but his work through the line was excellent.

Sneaky good return, couldn't go when the sprint went on but she was picking up and doing her best work over the 200m, one to stick with as she gets out in trip.

What a win this was, was last and locked away the fence 300m out, somehow got to the outside and exploded. Always shown talent, maybe this is the prep she delivers.

Excellent return, ran on very hard from the back. Never usually does much fresh so obviously come back strongly, 2nd and 3rd up she's in her element.

Had the trail 3 wide with cover, just took a while to get going when the horse in front sprinted. Work late good, ready to win now.

Nice return when just got tired late and nabbed last 50m. She is talented and is capable of winning next time in similar class.

Massive run for 3rd, got well back but absolutely charged through the line to just miss. Up in trip again next time, this mare can be winning again soon.

Made a mess of them at first VIC run, they were probably the B grade fillies but the way she beat them suggests she is one of the better 3yo fillies at the moment and is an obvious player in the big fillies races.

Superb return when won with ease, travelled up to the leaders very easily and put them away very professionally. Stable have a smart one. Follow in those big 3yo races.

Really encouraging return when got back and was hitting the line well behind Blind Raise, looks to have come back well and is very capable of measuring up in those better 3yo races this spring.

Another out of the Blind Raise race who was making up solid ground, was a few lengths off the winner and not sure up to the A graders but can certainly see it knocking off one of the lesser 3yo races.

Loved his return, was ridden cold and was looking very good when working home into 3rd. Was clearly just a kick off and will be much better suited out in trip. Looks to have come back very well.

Was in our horses to follow and certainly justified that with a good 3rd at big odds. He is in good form, had to carry weight against most on Saturday, convinced he has a nice staying race in him, it'll probably be at a level below top liners, worth keeping in our horses to follow.

Ran on very nicely 1st up in the Moir, she is probably better suited on drier ground as well. Unbeaten 2nd up so definitely one to follow into next start.

3yo who fought on really well in the Moir, she is a very classy type who will be very hard to beat back to her age group next time out.

Airborne this mare and arguably should have won the last race at Randwick on Saturday. Dragged back to last on a day where it was beneficial to be in the front half of the field. Really liked the way she exploded through the line recording the 2nd fastest last 400m and 200m of the meeting. She’ll be third up next run and if we can get a rider change, she’s bursting to win again in similar grade.

Looks a low-level stakes horse in the making and was trapped wide, no cover the entire trip but stuck on for 4th. Another that will be 3rd up next start out to 1400-1600 from a good draw looks ideal and does have the ability to settle anywhere in the run.

Come back a bigger and stronger horse this time in putting a good field to the sword in a Missile Stakes. His pattern gets him out of trouble and he will only improve off the first-up run.

Chased Ninja in vain, but does look to have come back physically bigger. That's twice Ninja has beaten him now. Not sure if he can jag a major in Sydney, but a switch to Melbourne will see him hard to beat in whatever he contests.

Continues to frustrate punters, but the money was there Saturday and he finished the race off full of running. 1400m of the Rupert Clarke looks his best chance of jagging that elusive G1 win.
