Swan Hill Race 6 - Vernon's Steel (Bm78)
KA YING CHEER (1) has been up for a while, but has been a model of consistency all prep and that fitness edge might be a telling factor in a race where a number of the other major players are only early in the prep. BARBIE'SDREAMWORLD (2) is certainly in that boat and while she will most likely to get to better races than this later in the prep, they are likely to be over a little further. Still, she has a win and a third placing from three first-up runs and was a winner at her only start this trip. JACKS ON ICE (4) hits this race second up after a great return, when only narrowly beaten by KA YING CHEER, and he goes even better second up, so he's a must for quaddies. SEA POEM (8) kicked off last prep here as well and while he failed to fire that day, he progressed through the grades and has trialled like a horse who has improved again between campaigns. WOLF TWENTY ONE (7) steps up in grade, but got within a length of a handy one second-up and looks progressive.

Form hard to fault. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Caulfield Heath Bm74 on May 20 over 1200m, slow going head behind Impending Link with 58kg at $5.50. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Bendigo Bm84 on May 2 over 1300m, neck behind Quiseen carrying 56kg at $19. Has race fitness on key rivals and looks the one they have to beat.

Second run back. First-up after four months held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Caulfield Heath Bm74 on May 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Impending Link with 59kg at $41. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Geelong Dual Choice Plt on October 23 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Naval Academy with 57.5kg at $31. Not far off Ka Ying Cheer first-up and generally improves second-up.

Resuming after a break of ten weeks. Finished off last preparation seventh of 12 at Flemington Bm84 March 28 over 2000m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Zakouma carrying 54.5kg at $16. Previously first up; third of 11 at Flemington Nmw December 31 over 1600m, 1.1 len behind Somewhere with 56.5kg at $7. Might be better off following this outing.

Comes off a 62 day let-up. At the latest run struggled in the run home; 12th of 16 at Randwick Ctry Champ on April 4 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Chidiac with 56kg at $201. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Mudgee Cdra Champ on February 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Tom Vegas with 56kg at $10. First run for the new camp but favour others today.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.0 len at Cranbourne Cg&E Bm62 April 17 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Core Concept carrying 61.5kg at $4.80. Second-up 3rd of 14 at Bendigo Bm66 on May 13 over 1100m, 1.0 len behind Prince Tycoon with 61.5kg at $13. Thereabouts last time out. Progressive type who deserves a shot at this grade.
