Colac Race 5 - Mortimer Petroleum (Bm56)
SQUANDER (5) didn't have much luck as the favourite here last time but the narrow defeat at Sandown-Hillside prior makes for very good reading. Went into that seeking the hat-trick and she's well placed to be winning. Maher-trained OCEAN SYMPHONY (1) resumed improved winning a Cranbourne Maiden and then was slow off stepping up to this trip at Yarra Valley. Draws inside today and the blinkers are back on. Fitter again and the 4kg claim brings him right into it. Stablemate QUICK QUDOS (2) has been racing in stronger and his 2.7L defeat at Geelong two back hinted at better things to come. Peaks now and John Allen goes aboard. RIPPA BUDDY (4) races forward and two starts back won his Maiden this track and trip. Had a genuine excuse at Terang last time back to a mile. Returns after 9 days with winning rider Gordon reunited.

Second-up 6th of 10 at Yarra Valley Bm56 on February 7 over 1950m, 6 len behind Winter Grace carrying 62.5kg at $5. Rates well and should find frame.
