ESTICON (10) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown glimpses of ability, only denied by a neck at the latest. Comes in on the fresh side four weeks between runs and will be sharpened with the blinkers going on first time. Bold showing anticipated. ROYAL TRAPEZE (6) progressed nicely at the latest when beaten a lip at Halidon. Fitter again and should be hitting his peak. Can go one better. JUSTA STAR (11) was an eye-catcher when resuming at Murray Bridge two weeks ago. Draws much kinder this time and gets in well again at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged. Can give this a big shake. HISWAY (2) has mixed his form since resuming. Holds some interest on the short turnaround. Don't dismiss.

    Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 4 over 1400m, neck behind Fast Bubbles carrying 56kg at $11. Before that got back early 9th of 12 at Morphettville Parks 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 24 over 1250m, slow going 7 len behind The Golden Fist carrying 54kg at $13. Strong effort last time and rates a leading chance here with the blinkers on first time.

    Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 14 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 25 over 1350m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Cockatoo Rose with 58kg at $10. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at Halidon 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 15 over 1380m, 2.5 len behind Mr Jones carrying 58kg at $12. Mixing his form but is capable.

    Last start 6th of 14 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 18 over 1200m, 6 len behind Fine Future with 53kg at $19. The start before that 7th of 10 at Murray Bridge F&M 0-56 on September 4 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Valentina Charm carrying 53kg at $17. Hard to see her improving enough to trouble this field.

    Back from a long spell. Only had one start last preparation 9th of 11 at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 7 over 1050m, 7 len behind Great Maximus carrying 58kg at $61. When resuming last campaign from last on the turn 6th of 11 at Murray Bridge 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 3 2023 over 1000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Wanaloan with 57.5kg at $61. Likely to need this hitout.

    At the latest run raced on the pace before fading to run last of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on September 15 over 2040m, 24 len behind Prince Beejay carrying 59.5kg at $13. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on August 24 over 1590m, slow going 2.5 len behind Mitchellstown with 59.5kg at $8.50. Needs to improve sharply.

    Having second run back today. Freshened for 49 days. Last run 8th of 11 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 14 over 900m, 9 len behind Truly Elsa with 56kg at $61. At only start last preparation ran last in a small field at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on December 17 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind She Sparkles carrying 54.5kg at $21. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Previously second-up second last of 10 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1600m, 10 len behind Mr Ferrari with 52kg at $81. Hard to get excited about her chances.
