GOING:

TRILOGY HOMES 3YO PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

GO WITHOUT (5) is a progressive colt who kicked off his campaign with back-to-back seconds before delivering at Wagga last time, leading to score by 3.6m. Kept fresh since and draws a little wider but is proven at this circuit and distance and can work through his grades now. SMIRKIN SERENE (1) also comes through the Breeders Crown where she missed narrowly in her heat before coming from the back row for fifth in the final. Has won three of five attempts at this circuit and distance and draws to advantage. PEACE OUT (4) returns from the Breeders Crown series at Melton where she beat a couple of top fillies to win her heat before finishing down the track in last week's final. She is suited back to a distance where she owns a good record. WITHDISTINCTION (7) has been racing well in Queensland and has won here before.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Beach Diamond at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo G2 No NR F on December 13 at $41. Performed better the start before when she broke in score up and was out of position at the start solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton was leading by 0.97 at the bell, beaten a head by Let Her Roll (2:42.20) in 3yo No NR F on December 5 at $7. The ace draw can see her hard to beat.
