Flemington Race 2 - National Jockeys Trust Trophy
SIGIRIYA ROCK (2) is having a great first preparation, winning his maiden easily two back before just going down in an enthralling clash with a very progressive won last time. Can't see 2000m being an issue and he should take plenty of catching here. COLOUR OUR WORLD (10) was just behind SIGIRIYA ROCK at Caulfield Heath when third last time out. Of the two, she looks perhaps less suited rising in trip but she does draw for every chance and could handle it. MAKAMAE (12) looked smart winning a Seymour maiden over 2000m last time out with a soft victory. She'll stay this out strongly and can measure up well. VERONA RUPES (1) is racing in fine form and maps for every chance. HARSH (11) was dominant last time at short odds and must be respected.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 36 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm70 December 6 over 2040m defeating Kicking King carrying 58kg at $5. Before that 3rd of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo Hcp on November 23 over 2025m, 2.5 len behind Kaluakoi carrying 58.5kg at $8.50. Hard to beat again in this sort of form.

Useful type. Most recently second last of 11 at Caulfield Heath Bm64 on December 18 over 1800m, 8 len behind Kings Valley carrying 55.5kg at $26. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Bendigo Mdn-Sw December 3 over 1500m in the wet defeating Thedoctoroflove with 56kg at $2.30. Could bounce back at odds.
