Devonport Synthetic Race 1 - Ladbrokes Switch Plate (C3)
Small field but good race. OZONICA (2) is worth following up. Fresh up from a long break led throughout for a big five-length win here and can only be fitter. Unbeaten in three runs at this course and distance and looks hard to rein in again. WILD DANCER (3) has been given a let-up since finishing at the tail here last time. Back in trip, back in grade and looks well placed to atone. OUTBUSH (5) has been freshened since finishing fourth on the turf last time. Goes well here and with strong early pace will give a sight. GLORY MISSION (1) resumes from a long break but hard to fault the recent trial form. Will no doubt improve but has the talent for this fresh. Stablemate THICKSKINNED (6) resumes and will wind up late this sharp trip.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation when last of 8 at Caulfield Heath Bm64 May 7 2025 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Tango Jewel with 60.5kg at $15. First up last campaign second in a small field at Launceston Bm60 November 1 2024 over 1100m, a head behind Wheeling carrying 59.5kg at $2.90. Off a long break but trialling very well and worth keeping safe.

Second run back. First-up after six months favourite; scored a big 5 len win at this track on August 26 over 1150m defeating I'm Chev with 59kg at $1.65. Previously second-up favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track on January 7 over 1150m defeating Geegeeschaser carrying 58kg at $2.60. Can go on with it. Big win fresh and looks the one to beat again.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 13 in a Cl2 at Hobart on August 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Southern Auroras carrying 54kg at $10. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at this track on July 26 over 1150m defeating Geegeeschaser carrying 55.5kg at $5. Rates highly and is among the chances.
