Verdict

AETHELWULF (3) brings serious staying hype after two dominant wins and this looks the natural next step. APPEARED (7) was terrific on Australian debut, savaging the line at Newcastle, and the extra trip suits him perfectly. ANTHRACITE (6) has the fitness edge and looks well placed fourth up on the quick back up. KENMARE BAY (5) will need the pace on with all the main dangers ahead of him but he can still sting late. SHINY NEW DEEL (4) has not fired since resuming but Clark taking over is a key switch and he should be much more handy. BELLE DETELLE (8) needs them to overdo it up front then she can burst through late.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5 len win at Canterbury on August 5 over 1900m defeating Forbidden Riff carrying 58kg at $1.26. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at Kembla Grange on July 16 over 1600m defeating Arizona Loner with 60kg at $1.55. Plenty of hype around him, so stable will see this as a stepping stone.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 12 in a Bm78 at Randwick on August 22 over 1600m, slow going 2 len behind King Of The Sea carrying 54.5kg at $15. The race before that 4th of 7 in a Bm72 at Canterbury on August 12 over 1550m, slow going 3 len behind Federal Reserve with 59kg at $3.30. Is building nicely and deserves genuine consideration.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months won by 0.6 len at Newcastle on August 13 over 1880m defeating Tacitly carrying 59kg at $4.40. Previously second-up 3rd of 17 in a Mdn Sw at Curragh on September 27 over 2011m, 3.5 len behind Simurgh with 61kg at $6. Impressed in Australian debut and looks better over further - could knock off the hotpot.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 in a Bm72 at Warwick Farm on August 19 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Deep Pleasure carrying 58.5kg at $10. Before that 10th of 12 in a Bm78 at this track on July 18 over 2400m, on a wet track; 21 len behind Le Troisir with 56kg at $11. In the mix IF they can hold a spot from the inside - big IF.

Most recently eased back early on 5th of 7 in a Bm78 at this track on August 15 over 1900m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Concordia Wind with 57kg at $4.60. The race before that 5th of 11 in a Bm78 at Randwick on August 8 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind The Mona Lisa carrying 57.5kg at $10. Will likely have all his main dangers in front of him at the turn which will make it hard.

Last start ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Caulfield on August 15 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Lincoln Rocks with 58kg at $14. The race before that 2nd of 8 in a Bm74 at Sandown-Hillside on July 29 over 1800m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Ninyo with 58kg at $4.80. Is rock-hard fit and winning tough - deserves respect.

Racing second-up today. Last start ran last of 14 in a Bm84 at Flemington on August 1 over 1620m, 7 len behind Touchdown with 60kg at $31. At only start last preparation 9th of 12 in a Rating 100 at Sha Tin on March 9 2025 over 1800m, 6 len behind Bundle Award with 54.5kg at $19. Need to see him find some form first.

Most recently made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 13 in a Cond Bm68 at Kembla Grange on August 15 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Natural Ruler carrying 57.5kg at $3.80. The start before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 in a Cond Bm68 at Newcastle on August 1 over 1600m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Red Rags To Bulls carrying 56.5kg at $6. Could sneak a minor spot at a big quote.

At the latest run 3rd of 9 in a Open Bm79 at Canberra Acton on August 21 over 1900m, 2.5 len behind Sunburnt Country with 56kg at $4.20. The run before that 4th in a small field in a Bm64 at Canterbury on August 12 over 1900m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Equinox Legend carrying 55.5kg at $21. Not going anywhere near good enough.

Last start led but faded 2nd of 7 in a Ken Howard at Coffs Harbour on August 7 over 2000m, slow going 2 len behind Enterprise Private carrying 56.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 7th of 10 in a F&M Bm78 at Randwick on July 25 over 1800m, slow going 3.5 len behind Satono Jasmine carrying 55kg at $10. Doesn't look up to this.
