Verdict

MISS TRENTINO (7) returned from an 11-month absence with an encouraging effort in a similar race here two weeks ago, only tiring in the shadows after racing up on the pace. Won three straight this time last year and looks ready to recapture that form. TAXATION (12) is back after a six-month break. Failed at the only run last prep when all was not right. Started at $3.70 against a class mare in Weeping Woman last November but was at the end of her prep and disappointed. Has plenty of talent and is a big market watch. MELANITE (5) overcame an awkward start to just get the cash over this distance in a Randwick Midway recently. That form should measure right up here. Draws the fence so another big run is likely. RUINATION (1) races for the first time in six months. Has always showed ability and is now a gelding so he might go to another level this prep. ZALE (3) is a model of consistency and can never be left out of a race like this.

    Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Randwick on August 8 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Cosy Corner carrying 56kg at $6.50. The race before that 3rd of 8 in a Cl1 at Gosford on July 18 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 0.9 len behind Difensivo with 61kg at $2.60. Sure to get all the favours from barrier one and is a key contender again.

    Second run back. First-up after 11 months 5th of 9 in a 5yo+ Bm72 at this track on August 12 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Donwon with 58kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 in a F&M Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on July 20 2025 over 1100m, 2 len behind Vanlee with 58kg at $11. Sure to take a lot from that run and can give this a mighty shake.

    At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 9 in a 5yo+ Bm72 at this track on August 12 over 1100m, slow going 0.6 len behind Donwon carrying 59.5kg at $8. The run before that 2nd of 7 in a 4yo+ Bm72 at this track on July 8 over 1100m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Inoue carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Racing extra well without winning - a must for the exotics.

    Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 0.6 len at this track on August 12 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Zale carrying 54.5kg at $21.

Confidence up and is a solid top-three hope at a nice price.
