Ready! Was promising as a 3yo filly when winning 4 of her first 6 starts peaking with -2.2 lengths below benchmark at Moonee Valley March 2025 when an easy winner over a mile on wet ground, but after missing 265 days and a one run "summer cameo", now has a foundation. Two Sydney runs with her most recent a PB of +0.3 lengths above benchmark which was 13th when 8th in a Group 1. Here +0.9 lengths above benchmark at the 800 sitting 2nd line, before -2.5 and -6.7 last two sections on a deteriorating track. Was also lane disadvantaged drawn barrier 1. Perhaps the Bendigo mile or an SA stakes tilt next?

Subsequently: Winner 25/04 SA Queen of the South Group 2

As disadvantaged as any runner on this poorly presented track ending up super wide in no-man's-land, but come off a best of the day -1.1 lengths below benchmark win at Sandown when just 2nd up, this says she still managed to improve her IVR figure despite circumstances being dead against. -2.2 at the 800 was good speed but 5 lengths from the lead. +6.4 in the mid race was a very solid 8.6 length exertion, before +0.2 last 400. Would be no surprise if they aimed at the mile in a fortnight here and then chased black type in SA from here.

Subsequently: 5 weeks between runs and winner Randwick 25/04

Slow maturing 5yo who's won his first attempt at a distance race, and produced a PB in the process with the likelihood of more to come noting this is just BM78 company. What's noticeable in his profile is he's continuously been in slow tempo race shapes requiring significant mid-race squeezes well above 10 lengths above benchmark. Here -9.8 at the 800, before +5.7 from the 800 to 400 so a 15.5 length squeeze, and he's sustained it with +6.1 last 400. This included a 2.3 length slowdown from the 600 to 400 in traffic and a one length late taper last 200. As such should continue to improve and be better for the longer run.

Subsequently: Winner Flemington 25/04

First up after winning the Manifold and Wakeful here last spring over a mile and 2000 respectively, but has produced a new PB and a clear best first up run. -3.1 at the 800 had her 3 lengths from the lead, before +1.5 in the mid race and +1.7 last 400. In addition she hit a flat spot of 1.3 lengths between the 400 and 200. Would assume she'll step up in trip now "job done" winning this $1million restricted race, and build on her stakes winning profile.

Subsequently: Winner Caulfield 21/03.

A low IVR figure to include, but this is a lightly raced import winning a maiden with an excellent turn of foot, on the quick back up 3rd up after gassing out last bit at Canterbury when -2.0 lengths below benchmark. Here -10.5 at the 800 and -3.2 in the mid race, before +4.4 last 400 when clear at the top of the straight before bolting in. Should have no problem elevating to -1.0 range, so conservatively placed can win again, where we can track his progress further. 

Subsequently: Winner Warwick Farm 07/01. Spelled first up winner 22/04 Canterbury 

Airborne for the new stable winning three from three, and a new level after producing +0.9 best of the day at the Mornington Sunday meeting 02/11. Stalked the speed going +1.3 at the 800 which was good pace off a standing start first 400, went +0.1 in the mid race, before +1.9 last 400 so good, sustained speed. This is BM84 level, so at this time of year any improvement - and the small slowdown here said it's most likely - can see him winning again without surprise. 

Subsequently: Twice unplaced and spelled. Winner Mornington Hareeba 2nd up 18/04

Remarkable tough as teak 7yo who didn't win from April 2023 to October 2025, but since then has won another 5 in a row including a NZ Group 1 "there and back" trip! Here on the 7 day back up from also this track/distance when +2.2 lengths above benchmark ranked 2nd on the day, he's slightly improved his IVR figure due to the mid part of the track - in the hot lanes on the day - being significantly faster week to week. The three sections were -1.1, +4.5 and +2.5, with the context being just the 24th best last 400 of the day showing how the win was set up with good early speed in the clear slowest part of the track.

Subsequently: Winner Quokka 18/04

All honours! Amazing performance by this 7yo who won this track/distance 2nd up 10/10 with +1.5 lengths above benchmark at the Friday night meeting, and that was breaking a drought back to April 2023. His Cox Plate Day win was +0.1 when leading throughout on his terms, but here has rebounded to a new level not produced since January 2023! +1.5 at the 800, +0.8 in the mid race before a slight late taper of -0.9 last 400. Clearly back in the zone with his old tenacity. Perhaps the Xmas Handicap Sandown from here?

Subsequently: Winner Group 1 Telegraph New Zealand! Winner Caulfield 14/03 Winner William Reid Caulfield 21/03. Winner Quokka 18/04!

Wow! Exploded in this PB to not only a new PB from -0.5, but to a level that has him top of the tree with this 3yo crop, and a potential Everest contender should the stable go there. +4.2 at the 800, before +3.6 in the mid race which is blistering sustained speed. +1.7 last 400 was reflective of the perfect firm ground, but also underlined the performance as he stayed above benchmark in all three sections. He is now at the elite level wherever they go, and however long he keeps racing given his multi million dollar stallion potential. 

REPOST AFTER ALL AGED GROUP 1 WIN RANDWICK 18/04

Back on track! Resumed at Flemington in the Lightning with a "nothing" -4.2 lengths below benchmark, but here back around a bend and up from the 1000 to 1300 has produced a "serious" figure that has him in touch with his outstanding +4.4 lengths above benchmark Golden Rose win. -4.7 at the 800 leading at a cruisey tempo, before +2.2 and +4.7 last two sections. When leading throughout in the Golden Rose his first section was +4.2 which he backed up with +3.6, so on the data that's where the improvement will come from. 

Subsequently: Unplaced Rosehill 21/06 before winner Group 1 All Aged Randwick 18/04

Doing a great job working through the grades winning a BM78 two starts back, and BM88 here, but what we learned is he is also a swimmer! An outstanding +12.3 wet track indicator - he did win twice on heavy going winter 2024 when starting his career with a WTI best of +8.1, so this says he continues to evolve. -7.5 at the 800 stalking the lead, before -1.8 in the mid race and +1.5 last 400. Further context via the 4th best last 800, and the 2nd best last 600, 400 and 200 of the day. There's a BM100 at Randwick in three weeks also at 1400 and that looks ideal.

Subsequently: Winner BM100 Randwick 18/04

Solid return in both his first 1000 metre run and first on wet ground. -1.7 at the 800, before -2.0 and -5.6 last two sections with the context being the 2nd best last 800 and 600 of the day, but still a strong the 5th best last 400 and 200 of the day. That says he's fit off a short 70 day break which included a sharp jump out, but will be better at 1200 and preferably on clean ground. Peaked last time in with a super strong +1.1 lengths above benchmark sprint win Pakenham Cup Day December, so perhaps the Hareeba at Mornington is an ideal next step?

Subsequently: Winner Mornington Hareeba 18/04
