8-10 Cambridge Raceway 15Nov24 2200SS $19,300 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY 3U Josh Dickie $4, btn 30.5m, wnr Claude , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing considerable ground.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 30 metres when eighth over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Must improve sharply.

2-6 Alexandra Park 08Nov24 1700MS $15,215 R50 TO R55, R56 WITH COND. 2U David Butcher $4, btn 4.3m, wnr The Jolly Roger , 1:55.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start second over 1700m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

9-10 Cambridge Raceway 15Nov24 2200SS $19,300 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY 3U M Ranger $19, btn 38.1m, wnr Claude , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering other handicap runners and lost considerable ground.

Continued some plain form when a poor ninth at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m a week ago. Hard to make a case.

1-6 Alexandra Park 08Nov24 1700MS $15,215 R50 TO R55, R56 WITH COND. 2U Peter Ferguson $3, won by 2nd You Little Beauty , 1:55.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was a last-start winner over 1700m at this track, scoring by 4.5 metres. Has tasted success at this circuit, scoring three times from seven starts. Sure to prove tough to beat.

11-11 Alexandra Park 25Oct24 1609MS $34,388 R47 TO R65 MOBILE 3U James Stormont $12, btn 37.8m, wnr Invisible , 1:53.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 1400m after successfully contesting for a position on the back of Hooray Henry losing ground.

Returned to winning form two back but was safely held last start, finishing 11th and beaten 40 metres over 1609m at this track. Can improve enough to feature.

2-13 Addington 12Nov24 2600MS $40,700 FFA Scott Phelan $5, btn 4.1m, wnr The Big Lebowski , 1:57.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved to finish second over 2600m at Addington last start on the back of a mediocre sixth at Kaikoura the run prior. Will be right in the thick of things.

5-10 Cambridge Raceway 15Nov24 2200SS $19,300 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY 3U Sailesh Abernethy $8, btn 14.0m, wnr Claude , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been thereabouts without winning lately, finishing fifth at Cambridge Raceway last time out over 2200m. Best form would see her in the finish.

1-8 Alexandra Park 08Nov24 2200MS $32,550 R42 TO R63 3U Sailesh Abernethy $10, won by 2nd Always B Elite , 1:56.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Deserved the win last start when he got home by half a metre at this track over 2200m. That success followed a run of minor placings. Will be tough to beat again.

1-11 Alexandra Park 25Oct24 1609MS $34,388 R47 TO R65 MOBILE 3U Crystal Hackett $25, won by 2nd Always B Elite , 1:53.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Was a $25.1 chance last time and got the job done by half a metre over 1609m at this track. In fine form and looks a serious player again.

7-10 Cambridge Raceway 15Nov24 2200SS $19,300 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY 3U Kristina Denifostova $28, btn 29.7m, wnr Claude , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered at the start. Hampered again when having to be steadied near the 1100m.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 30 metres when seventh over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
