Caulfield Race 3 - Next Payments Redoute's Choice Stakes (L)
GIN TWIST (6) narrowly on top. She was a very sharp winner at Flemington over 1000m two back in the Festival Stakes, then was just found wanting on wet ground there last time to 1200m. Fancy she'll be better for that run and around a bend can see her hard to run down. DRUMFIRE (2) comes down from Sydney for the Waterhouse & Bott yard having won well on debut, bumping into a nice winner at Randwick Kensington last time. Have to respect the stable bringing him down and Zahra gets a nice trail from barrier two. BUGGSY (1) won nicely on debut at Sandown Hillside as favourite. Straight to 1200m here but he should handle it. OAK LIGHTNING (4) might be the pick of the newcomers.

Raced two times to date. At debut, favourite; won by 1.2 len at Muswellbrook 2yo Hcp March 8 over 1000m defeating Fawlty Affairs carrying 58kg at $5.50. Last start 2nd of 10 at Randwick Kensington 2yo C&G Osc on March 25 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Under Focus carrying 57kg at $3.20. Drawn well and will take plenty of beating.

Two-year-old gelding (Per Incanto - Isstoora). Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman has him primed for this with four recent trials prior to his debut today. Won his most recent trial at Pakenham over 800m on March 24. Looks a capable type and can run well.

Gelding by Microphone on debut. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Pakenham on March 31. Happy to watch unless there is a significant move.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Flemington in the G3 Tbred Breeders on March 28 over 1200m, in the wet; 3 len behind Satono Glow with 58kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at Flemington LR Festival February 28 over 1000m defeating La Gitana carrying 55kg at $3.50. Like her around a bend, sets the benchmark.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, from last on the turn second last of 8 at Flemington in the G3 Ottawa on March 7 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Medicinal carrying 56kg at $61. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw March 19 over 1100m in soft going defeating Wonderful Sky carrying 56kg at $12. Place looks best this time.
