Verdict

BOY CRUSH (1) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time over 1000m. Great return after being tested in some nice races last prep and the advantage of a run this time in might give him the edge over SWIFT RULER (2). He's done little wrong, though, and can be expected to return in fine form. GREY OL' DAY (5) could be the big improver. Was well-beaten on debut, but was interesting to see there was market support at a price that day and she has won a trial ahead of the return. YAMANEX (7) is a maiden galloper resuming from a spell but will find this much easier than the G2 Karrakatta Plate at the latest appearance on April 18.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.9 len in a 3yo Plate at this track on August 29 over 1000m in soft going defeating Dawn Dancer carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Previously second-up 8th of 16 in the G2 Karrakatta Plate at Ascot on April 18 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Afireofgidgeecoals with 57kg at $10. Stylish winner first-up and can go on with it here.

Verdict
Resumes after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation won by long-neck this track 2yo Swp June 13 over 1400m slow track defeating She's A Splinter with 58kg at $1.50. When resuming last campaign third of 8 at this track 2yo Swp May 16 over 1200m, soft track; 1.3 len behind Barron Bill with 57kg at $4.40. Capable of picking up where he left off.

Resuming. Not seen since she finished last of 16 at Ascot in the G2 Karrakatta April 18 over 1200m, soft track; 18 len behind Afireofgidgeecoals carrying 55kg at $101. On debut third of 13 at Ascot 2yo Swp January 31 over 1100m, 3 len behind Maria Lucia with 55kg at $31. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Showed enough last prep to suggest she can play a role here.

Verdict
Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 in a 2yo Swp at Ascot on February 28 over 1000m, 6 len behind Aurum Belle carrying 57kg at $13. Didn't do a lot on debut but was specked at a price and was a recent trial winner, so might improve.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 5th of 14 in a Mdn at this track on September 2 over 1200m, 2 len behind All The Stars carrying 55.5kg at $51. Can only be improved by the debut experience.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation raced on the pace before fading ran second last of 11 in a 2yo Swp at Ascot on April 25 over 1100m, 6 len behind Cos I Am with 56kg at $61.
