VOBIS GOLD PRELUDE QC
Resuming after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation sixth of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Doveton Stks November 29 over 1100m, soft track; 2 len behind Aviatress with 54kg at $6. Previously first up; sixth of 11 at Caulfield in the LR Alinghi October 18 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Stretan Angel carrying 56kg at $19. Has the ratings and latest fresh effort was good.
Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Sale Bm78 February 1 over 1200m defeating Laa De Sha carrying 59kg at $2.80. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at this track Bm84 January 17 over 1200m defeating Celsius Star carrying 52kg at $4.40. Racing well and striks another very winnable race.
Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Sale Bm78 on February 1 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Immortal Star carrying 60kg at $7.50. The run before that sat on the pace before fading 7th of 12 at this track Bm84 on January 17 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Immortal Star with 57.5kg at $12. He was fine at Sale and there isn't great depth to this.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming eased back early on 8th of 12 at this track Bm70 on December 31 over 1000m, 10 len behind Celerity carrying 60.5kg at $41. Last start 4th in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm66 on January 28 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Croatian Art carrying 61.5kg at $12. Other runners have more upside.
Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Sale Bm78 on February 1 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Immortal Star with 56kg at $21. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 12 at Geelong in the LR Black Prl on January 3 over 1200m, 13 len behind Jenni The Fox with 56kg at $101. Doesn't have a lot to find to turn the result around from Sale.
Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne F&M Bm70 on January 30 over 955m, 2 len behind Sharing Moments carrying 59.5kg at $3.70. Previously second-up 3rd of 13 at Bendigo F&M Bm64 on July 13 over 1100m, on heavy track; 0.5 len behind Sioux Spirit with 60.5kg at $2.90. Shaped up nicely fresh and is in the mix.
Last start ran last of 7 at Cranbourne F&M Bm70 on January 30 over 955m, 5.5 len behind Sharing Moments carrying 58.5kg at $3. The start before that 5th of 9 at this track F&M Bm78 on January 17 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Thanks Gorgeous carrying 56kg at $10. Yet to fire this prep but she has the ability.
Most recently eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm66 on January 28 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Croatian Art with 60.5kg at $8. The start before that ran last of 7 at Caulfield Bm74 on January 24 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind La Astro Chat with 56.5kg at $31. Will need improvement on latest work to trouble these.
Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 12 at Pakenham 0 - 62 on January 16 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Olivia Rose with 59.5kg at $2.45. The run before that 4th of 15 at this track Bm66 on December 31 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Egerton with 57.5kg at $5. Needs to do more. Racing well but ratings need to come up level or two.
Dual acceptor. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 12 at this track 3yo F Hcp on January 10 over 1100m, 8 len behind Jenni The Ninja with 54kg at $201. The start before that ran last of 9 at Geelong 3yo Hcp on January 3 over 1100m, 8 len behind Jewel Bandit carrying 54.5kg at $81. Difficult to recommend.
