Verdict

KOVA (3) resumes and is a noted fresh performer, having been consistent last campaign against tougher opposition. Gets in well with the claim and is a five-time winner over this trip, making him a leading player. MCKEEVER (1) returned with a bang here two weeks ago, putting nearly 4L on his nearest rival. His second-up record isn’t strong, but it’s hard to ignore him off that dominant win. TYDEUS (2) was a determined winner fresh and backed it up with a sound chasing effort behind Mckeever last time. Gets a pull at the weights and strips fitter. Worth some thought. MESSERSCHMITT (4) is a likely improver with that run under the belt and is worth keeping safe.

Second run back. First-up after eight months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4.5 len at this track Bm72 November 21 over 1210m defeating Tydeus with 55kg at $6. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at this track Bm72 on October 27 2024 over 1000m, 1.4 len behind Messerschmitt with 55.5kg at $9. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Back in fine order and is sure to measure up.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation third of 11 at Mildura Bm56 September 6 over 1109m, 3.5 len behind Hollywoodboulevard carrying 61.5kg at $8. When resuming last campaign seventh of 9 at Morphettville Parks Bm80 June 28 over 1000m, soft track; 4 len behind Sir Now with 51kg at $61. Strikes a very winnable assignment.

Third-up today. First-up won by 0.7 len at Lock Bm64 November 5 over 1200m defeating Jinsoku carrying 60kg at $8. Last start 2nd of 11 at this track Bm72 on November 21 over 1210m, 4.5 len behind McKeever with 56.5kg at $5.50. Rates highly on best form and is worth including.

Most recently failed to make an impression; 5th of 11 at this track Bm72 on November 21 over 1210m, 8 len behind McKeever carrying 55kg at $5. The run before that 7th of 10 at Lock Bm64 on November 5 over 1200m, 4 len behind Tydeus carrying 56.5kg at $3. Unlikely to turn the tables.
