Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. CELESTIAL AWARD (11) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1400m at Pakenham. With that run under the belt, up to an even more favourable trip from a great draw she looks a key player. PIERROBID (6) is also drawn well and after a plain run first-up bounced back last time when staying at 1500m to suggest even further improvement would come up to this trip. SUNBURNT COUNTRY (8) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Seymour but raced below expectations last time over 1500m at Caulfield Heath, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a nice race here and can bounce back. CHARLECOTE MILL (12) is up in grade, but has been luckless in two runs this prep and just needs the chance to wind up to be a contender. Should get that chance from the draw. NOTHIN' WONG HERE (4) was good first-up in town then again in a strong form race last time, so respect is warranted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celestial Award each way.

ANTHONY & SAM FREEDMAN 3YO BROWN GELDING 59.0KG Godolphin Third-up today. First-up 2nd of 9 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 3 over 1429m, 0.8 len behind Abrafo with 59kg at $8.50.

Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Murtoa Mdn-Sw July 26 over 2050m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Takemetothemoon with 57.5kg at $5. When resuming last campaign seventh of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw November 30 2024 over 1209m, on rain affected going; 13 len behind Pride Of Lanka with 57.5kg at $16.

PETER GELAGOTIS 4YO BAY MARE 57.0KG Ms J L Flory & T M Gibson Second-up. First-up after seven months 2nd of 9 at Sale Mdn-Sw on February 11 over 1515m, 2.5 len behind Savisanta with 57.5kg at $61. Previously second-up 7th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 11 over 1740m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Ekanite with 57.5kg at $41. Defied massive drift ($20 out to $61) to run well first up and even better suited here, despite the horror gate. |

Last start 5th of 12 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Immortal Justice with 57kg at $3.80.
