Wodonga Race 5 - Fudz Mercury (Bm56)
DARN HOT MISS (2) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Seymour. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DREAMSTONE (7) lines up on the back of a 3.5 lengths fifth over 2000m at Wangaratta. Credentials hard to knock. UNDER THE HAT (13) finished second last time over 1400m at Albury, beaten 4.5 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. POETS ARTISTRY (3) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by half a length over 1400m at Echuca. Has solid credentials. CONTROVERSIAL MISS (1) has been racing consistently this prep and the combination of weight relief and a good barrier should ensure she gets her chance.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 11 at Wangaratta Bm56 on October 27 over 1400m, slow going 2 len behind King Incanto carrying 58.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Seymour Bm62 on November 13 over 1600m, 5 len behind Macedon Rose with 58.5kg at $9.50. Fitter now and making headway. Drawn out but one of the main contenders.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 9 at Avoca 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1200m, slow going 1.75 len behind Brave Charm with 58kg at $2.45. Second-up came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Echuca Mdn-Sw November 4 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Siam Emerald with 58kg at $5.50. Going well. Rises significantly in weight but looks progressive and holds plenty of appeal.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Last start 5th of 9 at Wangaratta Bm56 on October 27 over 2000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Too Big carrying 60kg at $3.60. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at Wagga Riverside Bm66 on October 18 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Will To Excel carrying 54kg at $3.30. An inside stall is a big advantage. Draw presents the chance for sharp improvement.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Wangaratta Bm52 on November 4 over 1400m, on rain affected going; neck behind Jingu Express carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. The start before that got back early 6th of 10 at St Arnaud Bm52 on October 25 over 1200m, 2 len behind Spinhof with 55.5kg at $13. Comes into this off a solid second over 1400m at Wangaratta last time but further improvement is required if he is to be competitive.
