He finished last campaign with 1.3 lengths 6th in the VOBIS Sires Guineas over 1600m at Caulfeild on 18 April, then resumed from a 19 week spell for a 4.25 length win over 1100m at Bendigo on 2 September.

Peggy Selene (Flemington Race 2 No. 1):
This Rubick filly has three wins and four places from eight starts. She took the lead at the 200m and won by 0.75 length over 1000m at Sandown Hillside on 12 August, then took the lead at the 150m and won by 0.5 length over 1000m at Sandown Hillside on 26 August. She has a big weight but should go close.

Perfect World (Flemington Race 4 No. 8):
This Pride of Dubai filly is the early favourite in this Oaks Trial for 3YO fillies over 1800m. She has finished 2nd at her last three starts – by 0.1 length over 1300m at Bendigo on 29 July, by a length over 1400m at Sandown Lakeside on 19 August, and by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at Sandown Lakeside on 9 September.

Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.
Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
