Flemington Race 2 - Brendan Drechsler Hcp
MISS OLE (2) looks the one to beat again. She missed the start badly on debut but atoned with a sharp win at Sandown Hillside over 1000m last time, heavily supported to do so. Should relish 1100m now and might prove too talented even with the weight impost. ESPANA (7) debuted behind MISS OLE at Sandown and ran well for third. Should be better for that race experience and prove hard to hold out over this trip. LATIN BOSS (1) has more race experience than all bar one of these and is going well. He's been behind some smart types his past couple and should be giving a sight up on speed. SONOFKIRK (5) is an Ole Kirk colt on debut for the Freedman yard who has jumped out well for the top yard. Expecting he runs well. EXPULSION (8) resumes for her second campaign and can be an improved horse.

Useful type. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on May 21 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Samudra carrying 59kg at $3.40. Before that 4th of 8 at Caulfield 2yo Hcp on May 10 over 1100m, 4 len behind Prince Tycoon carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Nice effort last time. Looks tough to stop again.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, from last on the turn 5th of 9 at Warrnambool V Gold Strike on April 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Mrs Iglesia carrying 57kg at $4.20. Second-up favourite; won by 0.8 len at Sandown-Hillside 2yo F Hcp May 24 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Saluted carrying 55kg at $2.50. Progressive filly who rates highly.

At debut, 3rd of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo F Hcp on May 24 over 1000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Miss Ole with 52kg at $14. Big chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.
