Aspetar looks a particularly interesting candidate: resuming in April over a Group 3 2400m, he finished in 2nd place, 1 length behind Marmelo and 3 lengths ahead of Defoe at level weights. Didn't do so well in his next, but was said not to handle the soft conditions. 2w-3p from 7 starts. Looks like he should be able to handle further than 2400m.

Aspetar wins at $9.50, runs what appears to be a race record of 2'24.60s and collects around $AUD120k of prizemoney. Ziyad was second 0.75L behind, with Silverware 1.25L third.

Ran slightly worse than midfield, gave the leaders around 6 lengths start and ran them down somewhat comfortably. Wrap him up in cotton wool, send him down here and run him in a lead-up race if he needs to jump up the order of entry. |
