Eagle Farm Race 2 - Portland Sky First Crop Yearlings @ Widden Hcp
Tricky race to line up with a couple of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade BLITZBURG (1) looked handy winning at Newcastle on debut before not being disgraced in Listed company last time out. Should find this assignment much easier and rates the one they all have to run down. DON'TDOUBTHELADY (9) hasn't done much wrong winning at Rockhampton on debut before going down by the narrowest of margins at the latest effort. Expected to play a strong role in the outcome. The well-related FORMULA ROSSA (5) (half to Listed winner and G1 placed Hypothetical) broke the maiden status at the latest outing and Jones sticks in the stirrups. Top-three aspirations. LOCKYER (4) also hails from a handy family (full to G2 winner Strasbourg) and has been thereabouts in both starts to date. In the mix for the multiples. GRAFTERBURNERS (2) shed the maiden tag last start and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Keep safe.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Newcastle 2yo Mdn-Sw November 27 over 900m defeating Offenbach carrying 57kg at $4.50. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Wyong in the LR Mm 2yo on December 11 over 1100m, 2 len behind O' Ole with 56.5kg at $7.50. Big chance on that form.

Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young trained two-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Half-brother to Group 3 winner Bodyguard. Dam was unraced. Won a recent trial at Warwick Farm. Looks set for a bold opening.

Colt by Zoustar on debut. Full-brother to Group 3 winner and Group 2 placed Brereton. Dam was a Group 3 winner. Has looked handy in his trials leading into this. Won a Kembla Grange trial over 800m on December 17. Betting the best guide.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 9th of 11 at this track 2yo Hcp on December 7 over 1200m, 4 len behind Formula Rossa with 58kg at $101. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.
