Verdict

HOLY HELL (2) lightly raced mare heading in the right direction. Kept fresh when up in trip for a classy victory over 1400m at Albury. Expected to shoulder the extra weight and gets every chance from the low draw. PLAYFUL PUZZLE (6) slashing return at Gundagai first-up when a narrow second, then almost a month between runs when sixth over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Further improved now and worth noting her only win was at her third-up run. Solid top-three prospect. AMANOAH (5) model of consistency this time in and will appreciate getting out to the mile. Ran on late from back in the field when second over 1460m at Queanbeyan. Leading player proven at the trip. LOVEHUNTER (9) broke through at her eighth race start with a narrow victory over 1650m at Moruya. Stays in the calculations with Heywood staying aboard.

At the latest run favourite; won by 1.2 len at Albury Ctry Cl1 December 13 over 1400m defeating King Czar with 58.5kg at $1.75. The run before that sat on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at Bathurst Ctry Bm58 on October 17 over 1300m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Scopics carrying 59kg at $2.10. Rates highly here and should be right in the mix again.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Moruya Ctry Mdn-Sw December 21 over 1650m on a soft track defeating Sacred Ingot with 57.5kg at $4.40. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on December 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Whack Attack with 58kg at $6.50. Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time.

Previously second-up 10th of 14 at this track Ctry Bm58 on June 8 over 1613m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Johntialjo with 56.5kg at $101. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.

Second run back. First-up after four months sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Kembla Grange Prov Cl1 on December 11 over 1600m, 12 len behind Channelling with 56.5kg at $31. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Moruya Mdn-Sw August 17 over 1660m on a rain affected track defeating Zoustrong carrying 59kg at $16. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
