Verdict

PRESTIGE OLE (1) has won his past two, scoring narrow wins at Ballarat and Flemington. They've been bunched finishes in slow times which can be hard to gauge but he was well on top at the finish last time and those late splits at the end of 1400m give him the nod. Has the experience edge - particularly at the trip. KALEO (5) worked home well on debut at Mornington, giving every indication that 1400m would suit. In the mix. Watch the market with KAKKOII (4) on debut. Lovely profile with the deep Japanese pedigree which ties back to Mosheen. CASUAL GHAI (3) did finish ahead of Kaleo at Mornington and has to be respected given that.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First start ran last of 8 at Moonee Valley 2yo Hcp on December 28 over 1200m, 12 len behind Field Of Play carrying 56kg at $15. Went for a break before returning 6th of 11 at Terang 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1000m, 9 len behind All Pink carrying 56kg at $4.80. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.

Going well. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Mornington 2yo SW April 19 over 1200m defeating Toronado Queen carrying 56kg at $3.10. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Flemington in the G3 Tbred Breeders on March 29 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Recuperato carrying 56kg at $6. Looks the one to beat.

Dual acceptor. Lining up for just third start. At debut, eased back early on 6th of 8 at Warwick Farm 2yo Mdn on April 2 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Is It Spectacular with 57kg at $11. Second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Kembla Grange Super 2yo Mdn on April 19 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Just A Journey with 57.5kg at $16. Can measure up.
