Flemington Race 9 - Cs Hayes Stakes (G3)
The draw might send SIXTIES (2) forward this time though he looked brilliant winning from off speed fresh. Has big peaks and wins from the front and the back then, so he is versatile as well as talented and he might catch plenty of these out given how forward he was fresh. SPACE RIDER (3) also returned a winner though not quite as spectacularly as SIXTIES and he has done this before without really going on with it. That is his challenge now - take his fresh form deeper into the campaign. ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (6) was never in the race behind him but he is far better suited now. Liked his run in the Stutt in the spring which was won on speed by WEST OF SWINDON (1) who then did too much in both the Guineas and the Carbine Club. If he can set a more even tempo he can give it a big shake. ASAKURA (9) next best.

Colt back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at this track in the G3 Carbine Club November 1 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Panova carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. First up last campaign fourth of 11 at Kembla Grange Cge Mdn-Sw August 30 over 1200m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Ruination carrying 56.5kg at $2.60. Will be better for this one but he does have a good motor.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by 1.75 len at Rosehill Bm88 January 31 over 1200m defeating Roselyn's Star carrying 52.5kg at $4.20. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Canterbury 2&3yo C&G Mdn on July 23 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Skyglider with 56kg at $9.50. Brilliant winner fresh and looks a real Guineas player off that.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Manfred on January 24 over 1200m, 3 len behind Space Rider carrying 57kg at $13. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 26 over 1600m, long-neck behind West Of Swindon carrying 57kg at $19. Fresh didn't suit but this can be a much better scenario for him and he has talent.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 13 at this track Bm70 on January 10 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Gallant Son with 59kg at $10. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Manfred on January 24 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Space Rider carrying 57kg at $11. Hits it third up and likely to run well in that spot.

Was well-supported at debut, 6th of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 1100m, 4 len behind Baked with 58kg at $3.20. Hard to think he wins this as a maiden for all that he has a nice pedigree.
