The Neville Parnham-trained Malibu Style has taken good improvement from his first-up run and he was allowed to stride the last part of his gallop on the steeple grass while the Mike Moroney-trained stayer Vengeur Masque powered through the line at the end of his grass gallop.

Markers on the steeple grass were out two metres, riders reporting the ground riding in the good (4) range.

Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the work to assist punters.

Bandipur

800m (Steeple grass) 55.48

Short and not too sharp. Rated from the off and under a hold in the straight, keen to go faster but not allowed. Nominated for the Super VOBIS 3YO Handicap over 1100m.

Fragonard

1000m (Steeple grass) 1:09.63

War Legend

24.27

Looks well and very keen from the off before settling into a rhythm. Travelleing strongly off the bend but restrained and through the line with ears pricked. Nominated for the Open 1400m Handicap at Caulfield and the 1300m Handicap at Morphettville.

Lakhoni

800m (Steeple grass) 51.67

23.34

Sat off the quarters of a mate until the bend then joined in and shaded the work, on the bridle through the line and done easily. Nominated for the Super VOBIS 3YO Stakes.

Vengeur Masque

1400m (Steeple grass) 1:37.04

24.07

Rated just off a mate until passing the 600m and joined in off the bend. Shaded the work and strong through the line well on the bridle. Nominated for the Naturalism Stakes.

Bubba's Call

1000m (Steeple grass) 1:09.23

24.67

Consistent in his three-quarters and built gradually off the bend. Not allowed to go any faster in what was a maintenance piece of work.

Weather With You

1000m (Pro-Ride) 1:07.22

23.93

Looks to have taken good improvement from his last start. Keen from the off but in a consistent rhythm and strong in the straight, wanting to go faster but held together.

Bouwmeester

1000m (Pro-Ride) 1:03.26

23.27

Works like Tarzan but racing like Jane at the moment. That said he is getting better race day and when he brings his morning form to race day he should be winning. Along with Malibu Style his last 200m the best of the morning.
