Verdict

CHICAGO KING (5) is a lightly raced three-year-old who looks nicely placed here. He ran well fresh at Seymour before just finding one better at Cranbourne over 1400m last time out. An extra 100m here is in his favour and he should prove awfully hard to hold out. SALTBURN (9) showed speed on debut at Echuca over 1300m and ran well, sticking on for second. He's by Puissance De Lune so should appreciate the extra ground and if he gets across from the wide gate he'll be in this for a long way. ILOVETHISTOWN (6) stuck on well fresh over 1200m at Pakenham, finishing third, albeit beaten eight lengths. Out to 1500m should suit having bumped into G2 winner Too Darn Discreet over this route last time in. FRATINEEZE (10) has had a few chances but is racing consistently and should be thereabouts again. EIGHT GORILLAS (12) next best.

Second-up. First-up after four months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Pakenham 3yo C&G&E Mdn-Sw on January 10 over 1200m, 8 len behind Untapped with 58kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 18 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Too Darn Discreet carrying 58kg at $13. Can improve quickly.

Racing well. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on December 28 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Leg Drive carrying 57.5kg at $7. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on December 8 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Broadhurst with 58kg at $2.40. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign ninth of 11 at Cranbourne F&M Mdn-Sw October 2 over 1600m, 8 len behind Realika with 58kg at $41. On debut 11th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw June 10 over 1200m, soft track; 9 len behind Famoso with 57.5kg at $201. Prefer to watch this time.

When resuming last campaign 10th of 12 at Darwin Mdn-Sw on November 7 2023 over 1200m, 7 len behind King's Star carrying 59kg at $81. Can't see him stepping up to be competitive here.
