BEST TERMS (6) resumes after a 21-week spell and looks ready for a bold first-up showing following two jump-out wins.
The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained gelding was consistent last preparation, finishing in the placings in all four starts.
He ended the campaign with a three-quarter-length second over 1500m at Ballarat, with the third horse nine lengths away.
The speed map suggests he can settle on speed and enjoy a nice run.
| 1. Best Terms (6) J: Harry Coffey 59.5kg 2322x T: Tony & Calvin Mcevoy | |||
| Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Ballarat Mdn-Sw May 24 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Le Beau Gosse with 59.5kg at $1.35. When resuming last campaign second of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw April 13 over 1300m, soft track; a neck behind Amedei with 59kg at $5. Take some beating. | |||
COSMIC VOYAGE (2) resumes after one start last preparation, when he ran a very good second at Donald, beaten only a nose.
The Danny O’Brien-trained gelding looks ready to fire first-up following two excellent jump-outs at Flemington.
He showed good speed on debut and, from a favourable draw, should find the lead easily.
If he brings that first-up form to the races, he looks well placed to go one better.
| 7. Cosmic Voyage (2) J: John Allen 57kg 2x T: Danny O’brien | |||
| Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when held ground to the line 2nd of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at Donald on May 2 over 1200m, nose behind Shintono with 59kg at $3.60. Improver and will take catching. | |||
MILOS FILOS (2) was solid first-up over 1000m at Pakenham, a trip that looked short of her best.
The Liam Howley-trained mare should improve with that run under her belt.
The rise to 1200m looks ideal, having won over the distance at Kyneton early last preparation.
Drawn well, she can settle closer and looks well placed to feature.
| 3. Milos Filos (2) J: Alana Kelly 58.5kg 231×3 T: Liam Howley | |||
| Second-up. First-up after four months eased back early on 3rd in a small field in a F&M Bm70 at Pakenham Synthetic on October 2 over 1000m, 4 len behind Headbanger carrying 60.5kg at $4.40. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Seymour on February 20 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Gold Coast Belle carrying 57kg at $3.70. Fitter and suited up in trip, go close. | |||
| 2. Miracle Spin (7) J: Shayleigh Ingelse 60.5kg 31371 T: Andrew Bobbin | |||
| Last start won by a long-neck in a Hcp at Manangatang on October 10 over 2000m defeating Saxon Blood carrying 63kg at $9. Before that from last on the turn 7th of 11 in a Hcp at Coleraine on September 25 over 1800m, 3 len behind Mangione carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Can measure up again. | |||
