RACE NINE
PARAVANI (4) will be on the back-up from Saturday night where he made the closing shot after releasing the seed and went within a flared nostril of edging out BLACKSADANCE. Grabbed in the closing stages 3 starts back after setting the speed, he can use his good speed out of the machine to find a forward spot in this contest.
MY ULTIMATE STAR (9) returns to Qld for the Jarrod Alchin barn and brings a 50% win strike rate from his 6 starts here at The Creek. Down the line last start as EXPENSIVE EGO shattered the clock in front in a 1.48.6 mile win, he was sound the start prior at Penrith from the 2nd line. This looks within his grasp.
AQUA MISS (8) was forced to hang tough last start after being sent forward from a wide gate to grind away first over. Digging in to finish midfield behind GOLIGHTLY, she will be probing here.
SPRING CAMPAIGN (1) joins the Nathan Dawson team and will be 1st up since September. A winner 4 starts back, he was not far away at his next 3. With a pair of trials to prepare, the gate is a big plus.
