RANDWICK – Greg Polson

NEW TIPPERARY – New Tipperary made an impressive return to racing in the Bill Ritchie Quality on Saturday when less than three-lengths from the winner. Joe Pride’s galloper was slow away and settled a long last but worked home strongly recording the second quickest last 600m of the race behind Pajaro. They were the only horses to run two sub-11 second splits in the race from the 600m to the 200m. It is worth noting New Tipperary has an excellent second-up record with three wins and a second from four first-up runs. The four-year-old holds a nomination for the Epsom Handicap and would be a knockout hope if connections chose that path but personally would much rather be on him in the Hill Stakes (1800m) on the same day. Career statistics (15:6-1-0).

FLEMINGTON – Cameron Happ

SCALES OF JUSTICE – This race was a bit of an afterthought for the campaign with the initial plan to be just two starts, the Sir Rupert Clarke and the Toorak both at Group I Level. In a radio interview Saturday morning Lindsey Smith was asked what he expected and he thought he’d run a nice third or fourth with a stack of improvement to come. He over reacted to the whip inside the 300 metres where he ducked in and out badly before balancing up inside the 100 metres to somehow still hold onto second. Up to 1400 metres next start and much better suited back around a bend, he’ll put himself right on the pace and be incredibly hard to beat. The Toorak also looks an ideal race so long as he’s not weighted out of it. Career statistics (18:9-8-1).

DOOMBEN – Graeme Carey

DREAMS APLENTY – They don’t make them much tougher than this guy. He was second-up from a break on Saturday, backing up quickly off a first-up run over 1350m and stepping up to a mile having drawn a wide gate. Luke Dittman sooled him out and he assumed the lead and he then set a relentless tempo trying to run them into ground, a tactic that looked like it may have succeeded until Lordag claimed him in the final 50 metres with a decent gap to the rest. His trainer has indicated he may head south with him during the spring and whilst he will need to be carefully placed his heart will carry him a long way in whatever he contests. Career statistics (15:5-5-0).

MORPHETTVILLE – Heath Pope

CAPTAIN DUFFY – This Phillip Stokes trained four-year-old put the writing on the wall that he will be a future winner when running a much-improved second-up placing behind Steel Frost. After looming briefly at the 200m, fitness gave out and given similar improvement third-up expect this bloke to be in the mix, preferably over more ground. Captain Duffy goes much better than his moderate race record reads having done most of his racing in black-type company including a placing behind Jon Snow and Prized Icon in Tulloch Stakes last autumn. To further emphasise this bloke as a blackbooker, that Group II placing last campaign came third-up. Career statistics (15:2-0-2).

BELMONT – Aaron Mills

ARRUM BOY – Knocks on the door after recent minor placings although his most recent effort was arguably the best of his career so far. Forced to go back in the field to overcome a wide alley, this Steve Wolfe-trained gelding caught the eye running on strongly in the best closing sectionals of the day to finish a close third as the leaders duked it out. May be suited stepping up slightly in distance now and can get the job done soon. Career record (7:0-3-2).
