Verdict
HIGHVOL (1) proved too strong on debut over this route, winning the Anzac Day Stakes by a head. Does rise in the weights for this but has more upside than rivals as the only horse this century to win that race on debut. Expecting he will go close again. WARRIOR SMILE (2) was beaten 1.5 lengths by Highvol here last time off a narrow win at Sandown Lakeside prior. Has to turn the tables but has claims. GABLE (4) also comes through the Anzac Day Stakes, unsuited off a slow tempo there. Would've liked 1600m for him but he could land closer from the draw. MALDINI (5) was well supported in the Anzac Day Stakes, okay in sixth there without the best of luck. Possible improver having beaten THE OPPORTUNIST (3) prior.

VerdictAt the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 10 at this track in the LR Anzac Day Stks on April 25 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Highvol carrying 57.5kg at $10. Before that won by a nose at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo Hcp April 9 over 1300m defeating Stay Cosmic carrying 58kg at $7. Brings the right form into this. - 8. Caelius

VerdictThird-up today. Resuming 4th of 11 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Maldini with 58kg at $26. Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1400m, 5 len behind Gabor carrying 58kg at $5.50. Not a great draw again but should fare a lot better in this suitable contest.- 12. Coolazclara
