Rockhampton Race 2 - Great Northern Mdn Hcp
Former Victorian VILLANDRY (2) is having his first run for the new stable but tuned up for this with a recent trial and will find this much easier than what he faced down south. Gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. The well-related PURPOSELY (5) (half to 3xG3 winner Burning Front) is another former Mexican who will appreciate the weaker grade here. A strong first-up showing would not surprise. DIAMOND BLADE (1) managed to hit the frame at Mackay on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Can feature again. NEPTUNE LEGEND (6) has hit the top-five at his past four starts and draws favourably in the inside alley. Top-three aspirations. LONHANOVA (3) next in line.

At debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Mackay Mdn-Sw on May 1 over 1050m, 4.5 len behind Hey Jealousy with 58.5kg at $21. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and likely to be about the mark again.

Is first-up after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fifth of 10 at Mornington Mdn-Sw January 1 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Eagle Express carrying 58kg at $2. First-up last campaign third in a small field at Ararat Mdn-Sw November 10 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Kobaybi with 58kg at $2.10. Looks all set for a bright return.

Comes off a 51 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 9 at Goulburn Super Mdn on March 23 over 1300m, 11 len behind The Mona Lisa with 55.5kg at $26. Before that ran last of 7 at Kembla Grange Mid Mdn on March 4 over 1500m, slow going 6 len behind Golden Loom with 54kg at $21. Maybe a place.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at Yeppoon Mdn-Sw on April 26 over 1200m, 6 len behind Fancy Legend carrying 59.5kg at $7. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at this track Mdn on May 2 2024 over 1300m, on a slow track; 24 len behind Makin' Statements with 55.5kg at $101. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
