Canterbury Race 2 - Headwater @ Vinery Stud Mdn Hcp
MADE IN ITALY (3) has collected a cheque at all six starts and returns for a third campaign. Beaten narrowly at the Kensington track second-up last prep so he is not out of place in city company. Back in trip this prep with blinkers on which is noteworthy. Double-figure odds in a field of six seems generous. CANTERO (2) settled at the tail of a small field then went through the gears nicely to grab second on debut a fortnight ago over 1200m here. Might race a bit closer from a better draw. Serious contender. DEFENSEMEN (1) has been freshened up since missing narrowly over 1400m at Randwick 46 days ago. Must be respected dropping back to midweek company. AFFARI (10) returned in good order here recently and is Waller's choice for J Mac to ride. Sure to be well found and is a genuine hope. PIEDMONT (13) did a good job on debut here last start. Should take a lot from that run.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resumes off a 46 day letup. Resuming came from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a 2yo C&G Mdn at this track on June 17 over 1250m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind By Napolean Hill with 58kg at $7. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 10 in a 2yo Hcp at Randwick on July 11 over 1400m, in the wet; nose behind Proxima Dea with 56kg at $4.60. Racing well. Freshened up and makes plenty of appeal back in midweek company.

At debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 in a Super 3yo C&G Mdn at this track on August 12 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Savagram carrying 57kg at $9. Promising three-year-old with great scope for improvement.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign third of 10 at Hawkesbury Cl1-Sw May 14 over 1800m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Valentiago with 55kg at $3. When resuming last campaign third of 11 at Newcastle Super Mdn April 11 over 1500m, 1.3 len behind Vltava carrying 57kg at $3.80. In the money at all six starts to date - big return on the cards with blinkers on.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 in a 3yo F Mdn at this track on August 12 over 1200m, slow going long-neck behind Wanda's Spark carrying 58kg at $13. Previously second-up 5th of 12 in the LR Calaway Gal Plate (C E McDougall Stakes) at Eagle Farm on April 25 over 1200m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Boomelli with 56.5kg at $5.50. Fitter and is the McDonald mount for Waller which is noteworthy.

First start. By leading sire Street Boss out of Palmateer. From the Chris Waller stable. Was third in a Warwick Farm trial over 1208m on August 18. This is a tough ask on debut.

Was at long odds at debut, sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 in a Super Mdn at this track on August 5 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Phantom Major with 54.5kg at $26. Encouraging effort last time and can go on with the job.
