Pretty even but sticking with the honest MACEDON ROSE (8). Sat handy and kept coming last time over 1500m at Mornington and was just nabbed on the line. Drawn for a soft run here and expected to be in the finish again. SOMEWHERE (3) made a nice return at Caulfield fresh then found the line late over a mile last time, albeit six lengths from the winner. Ready to win and should be tough to hold out late. LEG DRIVE (5) continues to race in good form. Ran on hard to just miss two back then was a dominant winner last time at Cranbourne. This tougher but in form and can give a huge sight again. THUNDER HAWK (13) raced on speed fresh over 1400m and was game in defeat, finishing a close-up third. Fitter and has placed 2/2 when second-up. Among the chances. ONLYGOLDWILLDO (11) was awkwardly away and never got into the race last time. Fitter and is a third-up winner. Worth another chance.

Third-up today. Resuming got back early 7th of 13 at Caulfield Bm84 on November 15 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Taken with 54.5kg at $26. Last start 4th of 11 at Ballarat Bm74 on December 6 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Sneaky Sunrise with 59.5kg at $7. Ready to win and should be tough to hold out late.
Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Murray Bridge Nmw-Ly August 2 over 1800m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Showrunner with 60kg at $3.70. Previously first up; third of 8 at Mornington 0-64 January 22 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Crown Crusher with 58kg at $7.50. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Geelong Bm66 on November 26 over 1514m, nose behind Vellasmachine with 60kg at $4.20. Rates highly and can give a huge sight again.
Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign when last of 12 at Moonee Valley Bm78 August 9 over 2500m, soft track; 12 len behind Jennivamoose with 56.5kg at $9. First up last campaign sixth of 14 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm74 June 1 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Kahhof with 58kg at $18. Goes well fresh but best form is over further.

Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Mornington Bm70 on December 17 over 1500m, 2.75 len behind Welcometotheshow with 59kg at $41. Goes well third-up and could well be over the odds.
Most recently 2nd of 9 at Mornington Bm70 on December 17 over 1500m, long-neck behind Welcometotheshow carrying 57.5kg at $7. The run before that sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 9 at Pakenham Bm70 on November 28 over 1600m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Eye For An Eye with 57.5kg at $3.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 10 at Cranbourne Bm66 on December 5 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Shiny New Deel with 58kg at $41. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Kyneton Bm56 on November 18 over 1472m, 0.6 len behind Ollandia Beach carrying 63kg at $5.50. This tougher but finding the line well and drops in weight.

Last start 10th of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm66 on December 10 over 1600m, 7 len behind Darkbonee with 56.5kg at $10. Awkwardly away when never in it last time and well worth another chance.
