Thriving in nurseries; only second last week but clear of the third; may do better yet
2 (1)	Beyond Borders Bay J:Shane Gray T:K R Burke	J:Shane Gray T:K R Burke	135	—	51251	77	86	70	21d	—	—	+4	30.3	0.56/1	9/4 31%
6lb rise for his ready win in a well-contested AW nursery; better to come; solid contender
5 (4)	Invincible Aura Bay J:Ben Curtis T:Marco Botti	J:Ben Curtis T:Marco Botti	132	—	524	74	80	49	22d	—	—	-1	13.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Promise over 6f twice & 7f looked to stretch him latest; opening mark tough enough though
NR (7)	Whoop Whoop Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	130	—	442492	72	84	72	14d	—	—	-1	17.2	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Peak RPR came over C&D; mark easing but slower than good would be a worry
1 (6)	Swordplay Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	J:Joe Fanning T:Charlie Johnston	135	—	213052	77	82	75	23d	—	—	+6	18	1.75/1	7/1 13%
This less demanding than previous nursery tasks and he's performed creditably; contender
3 (3)	Free Nation Bay J:Jason Watson T:Charles Hills	J:Jason Watson T:Charles Hills	134	h	269	76	80	58	68d	—	—	+3	11.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Hasn't lived up to market expectation as yet but may do so now gelded & handicapping
7 (5)	Woodleigh Bay J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(5) T:Declan Carroll	129	—	635246	71	84	69	15d	—	—	+4	10	3.75/1	16 6%
Ran well for second on nursery debut but he hasn't backed it up in either run since
8 (9)	Hello Cotai Bay J:Ross Coakley T:Ed Walker	J:Ross Coakley T:Ed Walker	127	—	707	69	78	61	36d	—	—	+1	6.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Likely improver now handicapping and he's one to note for market confidence
9 (8)	Soveraine Bay J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	125	—	2548	67	82	49	46d	—	—	+4	6.3	12.25/1	50 2%
Went close over C&D on debut but not come close to that level since; lots to prove
