Kembla Grange Race 1 - Team Thoroughbred Nsw Training Academy Super Mdn Hcp
ISTOLEA MERC (1) last appeared when well held in second place on debut over 1100m at Hawkesbury in September. Recorded a strong win in a 1020m trial at Randwick on 14 January which suggests he has come back in great order. Stablemate BOLD BIDDER (3) led for the judge but weakened late and missed the placings on debut over this trip at the Kensington track a fortnight ago. Draws the fence which is crucial. Won't find this as tough so with the race experience on board he is a big threat. ADMIRAL UNYIELDING (5) has switched stables and been freshened up since a couple of plain runs to launch his career, the latest on 6 December at the Kensington track. A good recent trial suggests he is ready to improve. SCULPTOR (6) is back from a six-month lay-off and has been gelded. Showed ability last prep so the recent transformation may see him go to a new level. CALIFORNIA COMMAND (4) is on debut for Snowden. Well-related son of Deep Field whose trial form is encouraging.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 7 at Randwick Kensington 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 15 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Royal Commodore carrying 57kg at $1.95. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Promising three-year-old gelding who is ideally placed to take this out.

Three-year-old gelding (Deep Field - Capital Commander) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Rosehill barrier trial over 1030m on January 7. Looks a ready-to-run type.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, second last of 9 at Canterbury 3yo Mdn on November 15 over 1250m, 6 len behind Scorching Legend carrying 57.5kg at $26. Second-up sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Randwick Kensington 3yo C&G Mdn on December 6 over 1300m, 7 len behind Metaphorically carrying 57kg at $81. Not a great draw again but can do better back at the provincials.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 9 at Warwick Farm 2&3yo Mdn-Sw July 31 over 1100m, soft track; 6 len behind Ragga Ragga with 54kg at $26. On debut ran last of 11 at Newcastle 2yo Hcp June 29 over 1300m, soft track; 12 len behind Bitten By Barry carrying 57kg at $41. Now a gelding so we might see a different horse this prep.
