VOBIS GOLD PRELUDE QC
Results
IMMORTAL STAR (2) is neither immortal or a star but she is fit, in form, and in the right race. Much too good here before going to Sale and scrambling in against a similar looking line up. TANGO JEWEL (5) was among those beaten by her there. Not a lot to find to turn the tables and certainly wary of that. Interested in PHOTOGRAPH (1) who was within a couple of lengths of much better ones fresh last prep. She was even better here Cup Week and both of those ratings make her a massive threat from the top of the handicap. JENNYANYDOTS (6) was good fresh and fitter. MYSTIC REIGN (7) isn't quite at her best this prep but she hasn't been bad enough to rule a line just yet.

Resuming after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation sixth of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Doveton Stks November 29 over 1100m, soft track; 2 len behind Aviatress with 54kg at $6. Previously first up; sixth of 11 at Caulfield in the LR Alinghi October 18 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Stretan Angel carrying 56kg at $19. Has the ratings and latest fresh effort was good.
Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Sale Bm78 February 1 over 1200m defeating Laa De Sha carrying 59kg at $2.80. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at this track Bm84 January 17 over 1200m defeating Celsius Star carrying 52kg at $4.40. Racing well and striks another very winnable race.
Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Sale Bm78 on February 1 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Immortal Star carrying 60kg at $7.50. The run before that sat on the pace before fading 7th of 12 at this track Bm84 on January 17 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Immortal Star with 57.5kg at $12. He was fine at Sale and there isn't great depth to this.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming eased back early on 8th of 12 at this track Bm70 on December 31 over 1000m, 10 len behind Celerity carrying 60.5kg at $41. Last start 4th in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm66 on January 28 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Croatian Art carrying 61.5kg at $12. Other runners have more upside.
Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Sale Bm78 on February 1 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Immortal Star with 56kg at $21. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 12 at Geelong in the LR Black Prl on January 3 over 1200m, 13 len behind Jenni The Fox with 56kg at $101. Doesn't have a lot to find to turn the result around from Sale.
Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne F&M Bm70 on January 30 over 955m, 2 len behind Sharing Moments carrying 59.5kg at $3.70. Previously second-up 3rd of 13 at Bendigo F&M Bm64 on July 13 over 1100m, on heavy track; 0.5 len behind Sioux Spirit with 60.5kg at $2.90. Shaped up nicely fresh and is in the mix.
Last start ran last of 7 at Cranbourne F&M Bm70 on January 30 over 955m, 5.5 len behind Sharing Moments carrying 58.5kg at $3. The start before that 5th of 9 at this track F&M Bm78 on January 17 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Thanks Gorgeous carrying 56kg at $10. Yet to fire this prep but she has the ability.
Most recently eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm66 on January 28 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Croatian Art with 60.5kg at $8. The start before that ran last of 7 at Caulfield Bm74 on January 24 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind La Astro Chat with 56.5kg at $31. Will need improvement on latest work to trouble these.
Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 12 at Pakenham 0 - 62 on January 16 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Olivia Rose with 59.5kg at $2.45. The run before that 4th of 15 at this track Bm66 on December 31 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Egerton with 57.5kg at $5. Needs to do more. Racing well but ratings need to come up level or two.
Dual acceptor. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 12 at this track 3yo F Hcp on January 10 over 1100m, 8 len behind Jenni The Ninja with 54kg at $201.
