CS HAYES STAKES

Colt back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at this track in the G3 Carbine Club November 1 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Panova carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. First up last campaign fourth of 11 at Kembla Grange Cge Mdn-Sw August 30 over 1200m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Ruination carrying 56.5kg at $2.60. Will be better for this one but he does have a good motor.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by 1.75 len at Rosehill Bm88 January 31 over 1200m defeating Roselyn's Star carrying 52.5kg at $4.20. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Canterbury 2&3yo C&G Mdn on July 23 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Skyglider with 56kg at $9.50. Brilliant winner fresh and looks a real Guineas player off that.

Second-up. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Caulfield G3 Manfred January 24 over 1200m defeating Job Done carrying 57kg at $15. Previously second-up second last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Mckenzie on September 6 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Rosberg carrying 57kg at $4.80. Job done fresh but has to prove that he can go on with it now.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk September 26 over 1600m, 5 len behind West Of Swindon with 57kg at $41. At his first start won by 0.5 len Geelong Mdn-Sw July 25 over 1250m slow track defeating Sussex Duchess with 57kg at $4.40. Happy to risk.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last of 13 at Randwick in the G1 Champion October 25 over 2000m, 18 len behind Attica carrying 56.5kg at $41. First up last campaign second of 10 at Randwick Kensington Super Mdn August 27 over 1250m, in the wet; 0.7 len behind Siriusly Hot carrying 55.5kg at $19. Might be better off following this outing.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Manfred on January 24 over 1200m, 3 len behind Space Rider carrying 57kg at $13. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 26 over 1600m, long-neck behind West Of Swindon carrying 57kg at $19. Fresh didn't suit but this can be a much better scenario for him and he has talent.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 13 at this track Bm70 on January 10 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Gallant Son with 59kg at $10. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Manfred on January 24 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Space Rider carrying 57kg at $11. Hits it third up and likely to run well in that spot.

Third-up today. Resuming won by 0.8 len at Terang 3yo Mdn-Sw January 2 over 1200m defeating Clevor Trever with 58kg at $4.20. Second run from a spell came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Geelong Bm66 January 26 over 1340m defeating Loose On Gin carrying 56.5kg at $3.30. Winning in easier and worth the shot here.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 3rd of 9 at Terang 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Asakura carrying 58kg at $9.50. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw January 28 over 1300m defeating Saludar carrying 58kg at $3.50. Big jump very soon.

Second run back. First-up after five months made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 11 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on January 29 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Sapphire Siren with 58kg at $2.90. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Humble Trader with 58kg at $3.70. Looks tested in this field.

Dual acceptor. Was well in the market at debut, won won by 0.5 len at Great Western 3yo Mdn-Sw January 24 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Red Rabbit with 58kg at $4.20. Blinkers go on but it's a lot in a hurry.

Was well-supported at debut, 6th of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 1100m, 4 len behind Baked with 58kg at $3.20. Hard to think he wins this as a maiden for all that he has a nice pedigree.
