In season when 5-1/4 len 6th of 9 (7) $4.60 56.0 Electromagnetic 1170m Wangaratta 3yo Mdn Good(4) May 15. Resumed with 4-1/4 len 5th of 14 (3) $18.00 57.5 Vangogh Bankcheque 1000m Echuca 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 20. On pace but gave away tamely to finish well beaten 4.3 len this venue. Sticking to this trip a positive. Among the dangers.

Took up a midfield position when debut 2-3/4 len 5th of 9 (3) $8.00 56.0 Killiana 1100m Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush Good(4) Apr 12. On return from break finished 5-1/4 len 8th of 10 (9) $10.00 57.0 Grinzinger Champ 1200m Kilmore 3yo F Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 13. Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers at Kilmore in only her second race appearance. Drops to shorter trip. More suitable draw. Rates highly.

Keen when 10-1/2 len 9th of 14 (5) $51.00 57.5 Home Zone 1200m Echuca 2yo+ Mdn Plate Soft(6) Jun 22. Battled away gamely first-up 5-1/4 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd of 10 (3) $5.00 57.0 Nepela 1000m Deniliquin Mdn Good(4) Oct 18. Winner too strong but ran on for the minors at Deniliquin at resumption. Will be fitter second-up and takes a 4kg claim. Locally trained but has a tricky draw. Only for wider exotics.

Beaten but not disgraced when 6-3/4 len 9th of 11 (1) $3.60 58.0 Teresprit 1243m Geelong 2yo+ F&M Mdn Plate Good(4) May 23. Primed for return with 1 len 4th of 10 (2) Maquisa 790m Warwick Farm Barrier Trl Soft(6) Jun 10. Back to the track for second campaign (23-weeks). Ex James Cummings in Victoria. Settled close and was safely held at bay on debut at Geelong when drifted in betting May 23. Hard to warm to.

Beaten but not disgraced when 10-1/2 len 5th of 8 (3) $3.50 57.5 Lesgo Don 1350m Deepwater Mdn Plate Firm(2) Jan 27. On return from break finished 7-3/4 len 10th of 14 (8) $201.00 59.5 Vangogh Bankcheque 1000m Echuca 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 20. Very tame performance here at first run for new trainer as an odds drifter. Others with greater appeal.

First Start. By Boulder City - Madam Palmer. First starter by Boulder City and out of the Ilovethiscity mare Madam Palmer. Not seen at barrier trials. Look to betting for further clues.

Began awkwardly when 12-1/2 len 10th of 11 (4) $41.00 57.5 Somaurum 1100m Hamilton 4yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 12. On return from break finished 9-3/4 len 7th of 9 (4) $151.00 57.5 Silvaloa 975m Swan Hill 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Sep 28. Given time to freshen up after 1st-up run. On pace but soon under pressure and she knocked up badly to finish 9.7 len 7th at Swan Hill. Will need to improve.

Swung sideways at start, Caused interference, Overraced early, middle stages, Held up near 400m when 1/2 len, 1/2 nk 3rd of 10 (4) $12.00 57.5 Zourosa 1000m Bendigo 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 5. Found the line intently for 1-1/4 len 2nd of 14 (7) $5.00 57.5 Vangogh Bankcheque 1000m Echuca 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Oct 20. Displayed early promise. Looks to have come on this campaign.

Raced wide without cover, Laid out near 600m when 9 len 5th of 9 (5) $5.00 57.5 Star Rapper 1100m Wangaratta 2yo+ Mdn Plate Heavy(10) Jun 15. Slowly away, Vetted - no abnormalities when 1-1/2 len 4th of 8 (6) $1.95 57.5 Cosmic Vixen 1000m Ballarat 4yo+ Mdn Plate Soft(5) Oct 14. Form reasonable. Warmed up nicely late at Ballarat at resumption as the punters pick. Fitter second-up. Has claims.

Race comment

First Start. By Brazen Beau - Plaquette. Introducing a filly by Brazen Beau and out of the Exceed And Excel mare Plaquette. No public trial form. Drawn well for first assignment. Bears close watching.

Race comment

First Start. By Nicconi - Violet's Girl. By Nicconi and making debut without an official trial. Market may prove a further guide to her early prospects.
