TAB ONE POOL EDWARD MANIFOLD STAKES
Keen to be with PROFLIGATE (3) who gets to a mile third up on the bigger track. Outside of Pretty Baby she was arguably the run of the race first up in the Atlantic Jewel then she closed off well in the Thousand Guineas Prelude, unsuited staying at 1400m and not handling Caulfield all that well. 1600m on the big track here looks ideal. PORTINARI (5) beat her home at Sandown then went back and ran on strongly for fourth at Caulfield after getting a long way back. Drawn wide again and not convinced she's crying out for a mile but she'll take beating. SAINTLY DANCER (2) beat them both home when 2nd in the Prelude, given a very easy time up on speed. She can roll forward again and give a huge sight. STIPULATION (11) chased Thousand Guineas favourite Rega; Ambition two back then won well latest. She should relish a mile and can measure up. JOELY (14) got way too far back in the Prelude and looks suited up in trip.

Dual acceptor. Most recently eased back early on 8th of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, slow going 8 len behind Pretty Baby carrying 56kg at $51. Before that ran second last of 9 in a 3yo Hcp at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Stakes with 54kg at $8. Can't have.
Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Icelady carrying 56kg at $8. The start before that 6th of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Pretty Baby with 56kg at $6. Keeps racing well and can settle on speed again.
Third-up today. First-up 4th of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Pretty Baby with 56kg at $19. Second run from a spell made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 2 len behind Icelady with 56kg at $3.60. Sets up much better to a mile on the big track.
Second run back. First-up after five months from last on the turn 8th of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 6 over 1300m, slow going 3.5 len behind Zambales carrying 56kg at $14. Previously second-up took up a position near the tail 2nd of 11 in the LR Fernhill Handicap at Randwick on April 11 over 1600m, 0.9 len behind Diameter carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. See again.
Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Icelady with 56kg at $4.60. The race before that 3rd of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Pretty Baby carrying 56kg at $4. Big run latest, just needs a good ride from the gate.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran second last of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, slow going 10 len behind Pretty Baby carrying 56kg at $19. Second-up won by 0.8 len in a F&M Bm62 at Ballarat on September 18 over 1500m defeating Tel Aviv carrying 58.5kg at $3.20. This is a fair bit tougher.
Dual acceptor. At the latest run got back early 6th of 10 in the G3 Ming Dynasty Quality at Rosehill on September 12 over 1400m, 4 len behind Persian Wonder with 53kg at $61. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len in a Super 2&3yo Mdn at Randwick Kensington on July 29 over 1550m on a rain affected track defeating Artgirl carrying 55kg at $3.40. Prefer others.
Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck in a 3yo Bm64 at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1300m in soft going defeating Somethings Burnin' with 57.5kg at $4.20. Last start 5th of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 5 len behind Icelady carrying 56kg at $5. Has a bit to find on latest.
Most recently won by 0.5 len in a Cl1 at Illawarra Grange on September 17 over 1450m defeating Varjak carrying 55kg at $10. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Canberra on September 4 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Ring Of Fire with 55kg at $1.90. This too tough.
Most recently ran on from midfield; 4th of 14 in the LR Michael Moroney (Exford Plate) at this track on September 12 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Lara Antipova carrying 55kg at $61. The run before that eased back early on 7th of 10 in the G3 HDF McNeil Stakes at Caulfield on August 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind American Eagle carrying 55kg at $61. Risking.
Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Geelong on September 23 over 1425m defeating Fringilla carrying 57kg at $1.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Sandown-Hillside on September 9 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Regal Ambition with 56kg at $6.50. Tougher here but is promising and the trip will suit.
Second-up. First-up after six months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Seymour on September 10 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Platinum Pearl carrying 57kg at $7. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field in the LR Valley Pearl (St Albans Stakes) at Caulfield on March 21 over 1200m, 6 len behind Rich On Bubbles with 56kg at $12. Nice type who will be running on.
Third-up today. First-up favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Seymour on August 27 over 1414m in the wet defeating Keen Observer with 56kg at $10. Second-up raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 10 in a F&M Bm62 at Ballarat on September 18 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind La Barrita with 58kg at $2.90. Flat last time, not sure now.
Third race start today. At debut, won by 0.8 len in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on August 30 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Rock The Vendi with 55kg at $9. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Icelady carrying 56kg at $21. Run better than it looked last time, not discounting.
Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 6 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Zambales with 56kg at $101. Last start favourite; won by 6 len in a Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on September 22 over 1600m defeating Windhowler carrying 55kg at $2.15. Others read better. Dominant latest but this is a lot harder.
Lining up for just third start. At debut, 3rd of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at Sale on August 21 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Cignetti carrying 55kg at $6.50. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on September 11 over 1700m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Rockzino carrying 55kg at $3.80. Has ability but this looks too tough.
