Listed – 1200m – Turf

1
Comicas
Godolphin visitor who went too hard early and faded on Australian debut when 7.1 lengths last of 8 to Iconoclasm in Weekend Hussler Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 13 October. Back to 1200m, down the straight course, should suit.
2
First Among Equals
Ran short head 2nd to Dothraki in The Bobbie Lewis Quality, this course and distance, on 15 September. Then just fair when 4 lengths 8th to I Am Excited in G2 Gilgai Stakes, again Flemington 1200m, on 6 October. Had surgery to correct entrapped epiglottis since last run.
3
Stellar Collision
Ran on well when 5.7 lengths 4th to Runson in Moonee Valley 1200m Handicap on 26 October. That was first run since May and likely to be fitter. Not won down the straight.
4
Keen Array
Winner down the straight 1200m course but has to improve on two runs this season. Latest was 6.7 lengths 5th to Runson in Moonee Valley 1200m Handicap on 26 October.

Brave Song
Not much luck going his way in series of runs before breakthrough long neck win over Addictive Nature in Caulfield 1200m Village Sprint on 17 October.

7
Snitzkraft
Impressive at first run since March when 1.25 lengths 4th to Brave Song in Caulfield 1200m Village Sprint on 17 October. This is first run down the straight track.
8
Demonstrate
Had no luck when 10.4 lengths 11th to Runson in Moonee Valley 1200m Handicap on 26 October. Has won down the straight track and can improve.
9
Tversky
Won eight from 18 in Queensland recent form has been first rate. Not raced since 15 September when 1.25 lengths winner from Niccanova in Doomben 1200m Handicap. Untried straight track but looks a wildcard runner.
10
Man Of His Word
Ran well, at first appearance since June, when 1.35 lengths 5th to Brave Song in Caulfield 1200m Village Sprint on 17 October.
11
Moonlover
Recent form sound. Controlled race from front when half neck winner from Split Lip in Geelong 1200m Black Pearl Stakes on 24 October. Placed just one of three at this track.

Not raced since 7 July when 3 lengths 3rd to Magic Consol in Listed Winter Championship (1600m) at Flemington. Ran well, finishing fifth, at this course and distance at most recent fresh run.
15
Acqume
Doubt soft ground suited when 9th to stablemate From Within in Listed Alinghi Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on 20 October. That was first run since March and likely to be fitter.

16


Holbien
Led and faded last start when 8.2 lengths last of 9 to Eckstein in Listed Paris Lane Stakes (1400m) on 6 October. Untried down straight track but all four runs at 1200m have been good.
17
Teleplay
Impressive winner at Ballarat 1100m on 12 October at first run since January. Then ran better than looks on paper when 2.1 lengths 8th to Moonlover in Black Pearl Stakes (1200m) at Geelong on 24 October.
