Verdict

Tricky. MY CROWN (10) is hard fit now and has threatened all preparation. There was only 1.4L in it at Dubbo last time and the on-pacer finds the right race. Wary of HIP HIP OLE (8) on debut. She's up from Queanbeyan with the Canberra trials under the saddle. Keatings sticks from those and respect the stable. LONG TIME LOVERS (9) missed a whisker in a non-TAB at Mudgee showing more like her best form. The gate is awkward but she goes into the trifectas at least. NORTHERN EXPOSURE (2) resumes and went close at Wellington at the back of his previous preparation. Has a wide gate to manage but the 3kg claim is handy and he'll be around the mark if presented on song.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Ole Kirk out of Empress Zakynthos. Purchased for AUD $ 42,500 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast National Yearling Sale). Fourth at Canberra in a 900m trial on September 27. Debuts for a sharp barn and this is winnable if the money comes.

Resumes after a break of 11 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Wellington Mdn July 29 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind The Git Up with 57.5kg at $3.20. Previously first up; sixth of 10 at Muswellbrook 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 8 over 1000m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Echelon carrying 59kg at $8.50. Wide gate but worth consideration.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 5th of 9 at Mudgee Ctry Mdn on September 7 over 1100m, 4 len behind Western Warrior carrying 56.5kg at $41. Second-up 5th of 8 at Dubbo Super Mdn on September 28 over 1400m, 4 len behind Hammoon Sensation with 56kg at $20. Can improve into the frame.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at Mudgee Mdn-Sw on October 4 over 1100m, neck behind Stolen Show carrying 55.5kg at $7. Before that 7th of 9 at Mudgee Ctry Mdn on September 7 over 1100m, 7 len behind Western Warrior with 53.5kg at $26. In the finish last time and despite the awkward barrier is in the mix.

Verdict
Resuming after a 11 months break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at Adaminaby Mdn-Sw November 23 over 1400m, 9 len behind Political Power with 55.5kg at $10. On debut ran last in a small field at Tumut Mdn-Sw November 2 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Lenlenni carrying 57.5kg at $2. Might be better off following this outing.
