Did best work late when 4.7 lengths 9th to Catchy in G1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on 25 February. Will appreciate step to 1400m on bigger track.

Colesberg
Raced twice, each time on heavy ground. Strong finishing debut winner from the handy Single Bullet at 1200m. Then slow to begin and worked home OK when 2.8 lengths 6th to Diamond Tathagata in G2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) on very heavy ground at Randwick on 25 February. First run left handed and on dry track.
3
Eshtiraak
Won three straight since debut placing in December. Raced on speed in strong win, under top weight, when beat Sircconi by 0.75 lengths in Sandown 1300m 2YO handicap on 22 February. Should get right run from barrier one.
4
Ace High
Made some ground despite laying out in straight when 4.2 lengths 5th to Invader in Randwick 1200m 2YO Handicap on 15 February. Winkers applied for first time at left handed debut.
5
Groundbreak
Worked home well when 2.7 lengths 4th to stablemate Ducimus in Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) at Flemington on 18 February. Likely to relish increase in distance.
6
Feng Chu
Looked to have every chance when 4 lengths 3rd to stablemate Eshtiraak in Sandown 1300m 2YO Handicap on 22 February and disadvantaged at the weights against winner. However, likely to be fitter and could improve with winkers and Moreira on first time.
7
Toga Picta
Godolphin colt who debuted with sound but narrow (nose) win from The Man in Wyong 1300m 2YO Maiden on 23 February. Third placegetter The Mission had finished alongside Groundbreak (number five) at Rosehill in November. Untapped.
8
Sircconi
Led, at first run since November, when 0.75 lengths 2nd to Eshtiraak in Sandown 1300m 2YO Handicap on 22 February. Like Feng Chu, he is disadvantaged at the weights against Eshtiraak but may well be fitter.
9
Black Sail
Held place throughout when fair debut 4.1 lengths 4th to Eshtiraak in Sandown 1300m 2YO Handicap on 22 February. Better for experience of first start.
10
Yue Fei
Slow to begin, worked home OK when debut 2.25 lengths 3rd to Sam’s Image in Benalla 1100m 2YO maiden on 12 February. Sam’s Image then half length 3rd to Ploverset in Listed race here last Saturday.

Undoubtable Miss
Has run on well to finish second at only two starts. On debut, finished 0.4 lengths behind subsequent Listed race winner Ducimus. Last start, beaten same margin behind Justice Glory in Sandown 1200m 2YO Fillies on 15 February.
