Flemington Race 2 - Exford Plate (L)
WONDER BOY (1) looks ideally placed stepping up to 1400m. He was clearly second best behind Growing Empire last start, closing off well with a big gap to third. That looks the A1 form, go close. DAGGERS (2) has done nothing wrong winning both starts to date. No issue out to 1400m, he'll be up on speed and hard to catch. DAWN SERVICE (5) comes down from Sydney having won his maiden dominantly at Hawkesbury two back before a solid second to G1 Flight Stakes favourite Autumn Glow last time out. He'll take plenty of catching. DETROIT CITY (3) has won both starts to date and could measure up.

Multiple Group 3 placegetter. Third-up today. Resuming got back early 3rd in a small field at Caulfield in the G3 Vain Stks on August 17 over 1100m, 0.7 len behind Band Of Brothers with 56kg at $3.30. Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 Mcneil on August 31 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Growing Empire with 57kg at $5. Very good behind a star last time and the rise in trip is ideal.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. On debut, favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn-Sw August 7 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Athanatos carrying 58kg at $7. Last time out favourite; won by 1.75 len at Moonee Valley 3yo C&G-Swp August 24 over 1200m in soft going defeating Stoli Bolli with 56kg at $2.80. Looks very smart and will take beating.

Puts an unbeaten record on the line. When well in the market on debut, favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at Wodonga 2yo Hcp July 14 over 1200m in the wet defeating Milbrae carrying 57kg at $3. Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track 3yo Bm70 August 3 over 1410m on a soft track defeating Big Brute carrying 60kg at $3.30. Impossible to knock, this looks a good test for him.

At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Rosehill 3yo Bm72 on August 17 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Autumn Glow carrying 55.5kg at $2.40. Before that favourite; won by 4 len at Hawkesbury Mdn August 1 over 1300m in soft going defeating Imposing Pier with 57kg at $1.50. Brings strong Sydney form to this and can give a sight.
