1 (4)	Campione D'Italia Bay J:James McDonald T:Chris Waller	J:James McDonald T:Chris Waller	125	—	0141	-	123	-	14d	—	—	—	15	—	—
Shooting for hat-trick this venue. Showed plenty of fight to secure victory this venue. Breaks from a low barrier. More ground a plus.
2 (2)	Fireball Bay J:Timothy Clark T:Chris Waller	J:Timothy Clark T:Chris Waller	125	b	1-1673	-	118	-	14d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Won the Inglis Millennium (RL) Randwick 7 Feb. Fought bravely to the wire in the Inglis Sires' this venue. Jumps from better barrier. Added journey should assist.
3 (3)	Zambales Bay J:Kerrin McEvoy T:Anthony & Sam Freedman	J:Kerrin McEvoy T:Anthony & Sam Freedman	125	tb	224295	-	121	-	14d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Sent out $11 when laboured to finish 5th in rain affected going this track. Good draw. Unexposed at trip. A few runs under his belt this campaign and can make his presence felt.
4 (5)	Southend Brown J:Dylan Gibbons T:Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou	J:Dylan Gibbons T:Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou	125	—	11	-	115	-	21d	—	—	—	17	—	—
Delivered a steely performance to score Drinkwise Baillieu at Rosehill in only his second race appearance. Others carry more punch.
5 (8)	Diameter Brown J:Adam Hyeronimus T:Chris Waller	J:Adam Hyeronimus T:Chris Waller	125	—	5-3481	-	117	-	7d	—	—	—	0	—	—
On a quick back-up. Scrubbed up from the wide gate and boxed on bravely for a 0.9 len win this track. Could add some value to exotics.
6 (11)	Persian Wonder Brown J:Chad Schofield T:David Payne	J:Chad Schofield T:David Payne	125	—	7-6342	-	115	-	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Handy, knuckled down with purpose in soft going at Rosehill when in the market. Has a tricky draw. Has his first look at 1600m here. Goes into wider exotics.
7 (13)	Don't Look Back Chestnut J:Ethan Brown T:Paul Perry	J:Ethan Brown T:Paul Perry	125	—	173	-	111	-	7d	—	—	—	8	—	—
On a quick back-up. Off pace, worked his way into the minors without threatening winner this venue 11 Apr. Has an adverse draw. Looking elsewhere.
8 (9)	Nomadic Bay J:Nash Rawiller T:John P Thompson	J:Nash Rawiller T:John P Thompson	125	b	883	-	107	-	21d	—	—	—	3	—	—
Ridden in back half, strong late to fill the minors in soft going Drinkwise Baillieu at Rosehill last start. Very hard to enthuse.
9 (10)	Am I Dreaming Bay J:Jamie Melham T:Jack Pilkington	J:Jamie Melham T:Jack Pilkington	125	—	105	-	111	-	7d	—	—	—	5	—	—
On a quick back-up. Ran on fairly from back half this venue over this distance. Strikes a harder race.
10 (12)	Miss Chanel Bay J:Regan Bayliss T:Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott	J:Regan Bayliss T:Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott	120	b	324322	-	120	-	14d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Got back and hit line with a full head of steam here. Added journey should assist. Well into preparation now and among the dangers if things pan out.
11 (7)	Grinzinger Heart Bay J:Craig A Williams T:Ben Brisbourne	J:Craig A Williams T:Ben Brisbourne	120	—	41	-	121	-	42d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Let-up (42-days). Led, held on desperately to win at Flemington 7 Mar. Since trialled at Wagga Riverside 8 Apr. Should relish the rise in distance.
12 (1)	Salann Brown J:Jason Collett T:Ben Brisbourne	J:Jason Collett T:Ben Brisbourne	120	—	22	-	118	-	7d	—	—	—	8.5	—	—
On a quick back-up. Out the back, closed with raking strides in the Fernhill Mile here at her second race start. Good gate. Can fill the minors here.
13 (6)	Sumac Chestnut J:Zac Lloyd T:Lee & Cherie Curtis	J:Zac Lloyd T:Lee & Cherie Curtis	120	—	8358	-	108	-	7d	—	—	—	1.5	—	—
On a quick back-up. Sent out $10 when never got into the race this track over this trip. Others more persuasive.
