Verdict

SHMOOV MOOVA (11) rises to 1400m for the first time today, but the way he finished off in the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy, it doesn't look an issue. He should've finished much closer there and now he gets a chance to sit closer from a better gate today. He's better than this grade and he should be getting the job done. PRINCE OF SANTOS (9) was far too good here in easier company last start when running away to win by 2.2L. The wide draw is a niggle, but he possesses early speed and a repeat of his latest performance would see him go close. SECRET ATTRACTION (2) just missed over a mile to end her campaign back in October, beaten 0.9L. This trip first-up is ideal and Pike remaining in the saddle is a big tick. Watch for her late in the race. CASHEL PALACE (4) will relish getting up to 1400m now and she has plenty of improvement to come. GI GI POPS (7) was gunned down late last start but she'll be better for that run. Can give a sight.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 16 at Pinjarra in the LR 3yo M Millions on February 15 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Smooth Chino carrying 57kg at $2.60. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track 3yo Plate January 1 over 1000m defeating Supernatural with 56kg at $1.45. Encouraging effort last start. Should've gone close to winning the Millions and looks well placed in this.

Third-up today and won third-up previously.

Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at Belmont Park Cl3 F&M on February 19 over 1300m, neck behind Premium Girl with 58kg at $2.40. Well placed. Gunned down last start but fitter now.
