Verdict

CAVALRY GIRL (2) has been up a while but if she brings her recent form she should have these covered. She won three on the bounce impressively before starting single figures in a G1 Moir Stakes last start and running a very game second to My Gladiola, beaten a long neck. Multiple G1 winners in behind her there and she'll be awfully hard to catch. GALLANT SON (3) didn't fire in the G1 Manikato Stakes fresh when caught wide and unable to cross. Back to 1000m is interesting but he's a speedy horse - third in an Oakleigh Plate last campaign attests to that. BEV'S NINE (5) and PALLATON (6) tackled a BM100 here last time which Pallaton won. Bev's Nine meets him 3kg better off and is unbeaten over 1000m. HIDDEN MOTIVE (8) was beaten by a handy one in Sydney last time and is in the mix with no weight.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 13 in the G1 Moir Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1000m, on a slow track; long-neck behind My Gladiola with 56.5kg at $8.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len in the G3 Carlyon Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on August 22 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Bazaball Rewarded carrying 56kg at $2.30. Flying and this is much easier, should be too quick.

Second run back. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 in a Bm100 at this track on September 19 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Pallaton with 59.5kg at $5. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len in a Bm78 Final at Canterbury on February 27 over 1100m in soft going defeating Kimberley Secrets with 61kg at $3.30. Can improve and take catching over this distance.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran on from midfield and won by a nose in a Bm100 at this track on September 19 over 1100m defeating Ndola with 56kg at $8. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len in the G3 Zeditave Stakes at this track on February 21 over 1200m defeating Devil Night carrying 56kg at $3.50. Have to respect off the fresh win for new yard.
