1. Nicoscene: Clearly a very good horse. 3Y-GP2 winner last prep on a soft track. Only run at course was a fail but wasn’t down the straight. Never won first up but always run well. Should measure up to this grade.
2. It Is Written: 3 runs at track in the past for 0 placings. 4 runs in the past on soft or heavy for just 1 placing. Best runs on Good surfaces and tighter tracks.
3. Unanimously: Continues to run well without winning. Very good run at Moonee Valley when never got a clear run at them late. Only run at track was a non-placed run, but have to forgive. Best stats on dryer tracks but did run Pago Rock at Caulfield in Open company to 0.1L on soft.
4. Fast Cash: Well beaten the last two starts in easier company. Two runs for two places on Soft so does handle it. Has to improve on my ratings… will handle straight.
5. Atmospherical: Out the back last start at Randwick. Ran on strongly to finish within 1.8L. Going the right way form wise and her best is good enough to measure up, but clearly needs to find a length today and soft tracks haven’t ever provided her with her best runs.
6. The Quarterback: Very good run from the back last two starts at Caulfield. Has won twice down the straight in the past and looks to be back to his best. Goes well enough on soft tracks.
7. Office Bearer: Loves to pop up around Spring time with a win. Well beaten to finish last prep on a soft track a concern with best rating runs in the past on good tracks. Handles the straight.
8. Danger Close: Took a listed race last prep and then failed to fire every run since. hard horse to follow. Never won on soft. Goes well fresh but does always seem to need a run.
9. Fab Fevola: Old Mate! His best runs in the past have always been on a firm track. You know I’m his biggest fan… chances really depend on track condition. Good 4 and he can win, Soft 5 and I can’t see it even on form.
10. Magnus Reign: Nice return run at Moonee Valley. Can improve onwards from that run and measure up here. Last two runs at track ran 1st and 2nd. Handles the track. Soft track form hard to agree with here though.
11. General Jackson: Wet track form not the best coming into this yet to win on it. Two runs down the straight and failed on both occasions. Last start run well enough to measure up but has to improve.
12. Cashed: Well beaten last start at Moonee Valley showing how flawed the form two back is. Has to improve and never placed on track in two runs. Will appreciate the wet track.
13. Tudor: Old mate always runs well. Good run 2nd to Reldas from on speed last start. Run down straight in past and didn’t see out the run which was disappointing. Wet track form okay though with a 3Y-GP2 second on record. Good horse.
14. Trevinder: Didn’t show a lot first up but was out the back strangely. Will be closer to the speed today. Two runs down straight failed both times the issue. Goes okay on wet tracks. Has to improve.
15. Beau Rada: Good run two back at Caulfield and then got the win last start at Cranbourne. Consistent. Running well. Has to improve but has ability.
16. Tawteen: Beat home a good horse in Diamond Oasis last start at Moonee Valley. 3 runs at course for 0 wins a big concern… always well backed as well. Only run on soft was defeated as 2nd favourite running a slow enough time at Moonee Valley to win. Has to improve on that effort… going well enough.
17. Wild Rain: Loves it wet. 0 places from 3 first up runs in the past a massive issue. 2 runs down the straight and best run was 3.5L 3rd. Her best is good enough based on the 2nd to Miss Promiscuity in WFA-G3 at Caulfield. Just have to believe this is very winable.
18. Klishina: Hard horse to catch. Been two preps with no wins but always runs a nice race. Probably should have won last stat in much easier. Weighted well enough.. ran 4th 3.5L to Chautauqua two back. Handles soft… 3 runs 1 place down straight.
19. It’s Poets Day: Suited on pace last start at MV and just missed. Much harder. Has run down the straight once before but never in this grade.
Comments: Talk about an absolute mine field to start the Quaddie! Wild Rain should have every chance if good enough to win today. Will get the track to suit.
