SOMERSAULT (8) hasn't raced since finishing 2.25 lengths back in fourth over 1400m at Sandown on Jan 8. Placed in three runs at around this trip the three starts prior and has been trialling up well ahead of this. TAGAMATE (6) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1200m at Sandown. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. BRADFORD (2) resumes, having finished sixth over 1200m at Pakenham at the latest appearance on February 5. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Shapes as one to consider. CALEXPO (3) is a gelding by Mehmas who cost GNS 270,000 in the UK as a yearling. Spotting maturing to his Southern Hemisphere rivals, so might have more upside than a few of these and be better later but looks to have talent. BJORSON (1) is a local who's been trialling well and gets the all-important inside alley.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Mehmas out of Princesse De Saba GNS 270,000 (Tattersalls 2024 October Yearling Sale Book 2) purchase. At the most recent trial finished sixth on June 11 at Caulfield Heath over 1050m. Nth Hemisphere 3YO who's well-bred but might a little more time and distance.

Second run back. First-up after a year raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1107m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Dark Fox with 58kg at $8. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Caulfield 2yo Hcp on May 31 2025 over 1200m, 4 len behind Salty Pearl with 56.5kg at $51. Will be better for the first-up run but draw could hurt here.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on June 3 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Miss Lola with 59.5kg at $17. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1212m, slow going 1.4 len behind Brroosha with 58kg at $4.40. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation eighth of 12 at Albury Mdn February 23 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Seasmoke with 52kg at $31. On debut second last of 11 at Seymour 3yo Mdn-Sw February 3 over 1300m, 11 len behind Clevor Trever with 56kg at $71. This might be a bit rich.
