Moment Of Change

Had first run since January when 6 lengths 12th of 13 behind Fast ’N’ Rocking in Listed Village Sprint (1200m) at Caulfield on 14 October. Had tough run under top weight on that occasion and likely to strip much fitter.

2

Hot Snitzel

Found pressure too great on speed when 2.9 lengths last of 8 behind Terravista in the G2 Premiere Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on 3 October. Fitter for that but unplaced three previous starts this straight course and distance.

3

Dothraki

Narrow but impressive winner of the Listed Tatts Lightning (1100m) at Randwick on 17 October which his first run since July. No issue with him winning second-up which he’s done three times before.

Good on speed effort when 2.3 lengths 3rd to Politeness in G3 Northwood Plume Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on 10 October. Some chance in race of many chances.

13
