6-14 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,455 R36 TO R40, R41 WITH COND. Gerard O'reilly $90, btn 6.8m, wnr Sarasota Sunset , 2:02.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Had a tough draw last time and was safely held when sixth at this track over 1850m, beaten 6 metres. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.

7-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Gerard O'reilly $79, btn 13.2m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Safely held last time when 13 metres from the winner in seventh over 1850m at this track. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

4-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. James Geddes $6, btn 7.3m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hung inwards abruptly shortly after the start checking an inside runner which broke briefly in consequence. Hampered by a weakening runner final bend.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished fourth last start over 1850m at this track, 7 metres from the winner. This looks a suitable assignment.

8-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Tim Williams $44, btn 14.0m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Failed to feature when eighth last time out over 1850m at this track. Not keen.

6-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Jim Curtin $14, btn 11.1m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Hasn't drawn well at the last couple of runs and has missed the frame, the latest when sixth over 1850m at this track. Certainly up to this and she is a major player.

12-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Sam Thornley $24, btn 58.3m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued some plain form when a mediocre 12th at this track over 1850m a couple of days ago. Needs to lift.

13-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Mia Holbrough $10, btn 67.8m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked shortly after the start and broke briefly then over raced when racing wide for a distance until reaching the parked position near the 1000m. Weakened final bend hampering trailing runners.

Won't find this as tough as last start when beaten 70 metres over 1850m at this track. Do not dismiss.

9-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. John R Dunn $18, btn 14.3m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued a long run of outs when beaten 14 metres at this track over 1850m a couple of days ago. Unlikely to threaten.

7-14 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,455 R36 TO R40, R41 WITH COND. Blair Orange $14, btn 13.5m, wnr Sarasota Sunset , 2:02.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Held up early stages of the run home.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 13 metres when seventh over 1850m at this track. Capable of bouncing back.

10-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Kyle Cameron $49, btn 21.1m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not going all that well and could only manage tenth last start at this track over 1850m. Long time since his last win. Tested again.

11-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Sheree Tomlinson $7, btn 33.2m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a weakening runner final bend and then held up early stages of the run home.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for 18 runs. Last start finished 11th over 1850m at this track. One to consider as her best is good enough.

5-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Robbie Close $28, btn 10.8m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced three wide without cover from the 800m.

Continued a long run without winning when fifth at this track over 1850m last time out. Watch for a spike in form.

3-13 Waterlea 17Jan25 1850MS $13,228 R35, R36 WITH COND. Jonny Cox $39, btn 2.4m, wnr Avenger , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Slow early stages.

Made significant improvement last start when third at this track over 1850m, beaten 2.5 metres. Top chance in this line-up.
