Medinah has stripped fitter for two starts back this time and can break his maiden this afternoon at Moe.
The Danny O’Brien-trained gelding finished fourth, beaten only a length at Geelong at his first start back, before hitting the line to finish a half-length second at Donald last time.
Fitter third-up and from a decent draw today, this looks his opportunity to strike.
I thought that Nanshe hinted at good ability during her brief debut prep, and she can make a winning return to the races at Gosford this afternoon.
Nanshe trialled well prior to finishing a credible fifth behind Hi Dubai on debut at Canterbury in December, and she was sent for a break after filling the minors in a 1200m dash at Cranbourne.
She’s had the benefit of a couple of trials in the lead-up to her return and can begin her rise through the grades in something like this.
Time To Boogie only just missed here at Gosford first-up from a break, and he gets the chance to go on better this afternoon.
The Sooboog gelding has been a consistent performer for Michael Freedman since debuting, breaking his maiden and finishing second a further three times in only six appearances.
He’s drawn ideally today under a claiming apprentice, and I don’t think he’ll be offered a better opportunity to win than this.
I’m keen to stick with Vegas Diva when she steps out third-up today.
Vegas Diva returned a winner following a convincing on-pace performance at Cranbourne back in May and was last seen finishing fourth, beaten less than a length in BM64 company at Mornington.
Luke Campbell can take her forward again today from the rails draw and she’ll relish some relief in the weights.
