Edmond will take good improvement into his second campaign task at Hawkesbury today and can break his maiden.
The Excelebration colt stamped himself as a horse to follow during a short debut prep, which saw him finish second behind Concealed at Canterbury and just over a length behind the classy Pyrmont at Warwick Farm.
He ran home well to finish second at Newcastle when resuming and is primed to win.
Who’s Your Papy has improved for two starts since debuting and is ready to win at Bendigo this afternoon.
The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained gelding finished a credible fifth, just over a length from the winner at Ballarat in late September and was last seen finishing half a length second behind the promising Russian Fighter at Swan Hill.
Fitter third-up and in a similar race, he should be right in the finish again.
This is a wide-open edition of the Ladies Day Cup and Mushaireb shapes as a winning chance, at a price ($26 at publish).
The Invincible Spirit gelding has returned some bold efforts since arriving in Australia a few years ago, and found form around some good horses in Saturday races last time in.
He has had the benefit of a couple of trials in the lead-up to his return, he gets into this race well under the conditions, and I like that the Freedmans are electing to launch his campaign over a mile.
Fundraiser will carry improvement into his second campaign start at Bendigo today and will take beating.
The Helmet gelding returned some excellent performances last time in and ended his prep with a run in a decent Saturday race at Flemington, albeit a failed tilt.
He was just over two lengths behind The Astrologist when third at Geelong a few weeks ago, and there is no horse of that quality in this field.
