Flemington Race 3 - Desirable Stakes (L)
Can be a case of right race at the right time for CUSTOM (3). Could almost say it's custom made for her. (B'dum, Tish) Note that she was well backed against the boys first up and ran well after getting a touch too far off them. 1400m looks like it can suit. OLE DANCER (1) stands out as the 1000 Guineas winner where she knocked off the Sydney gun fair and square. She was on speed there but hadn't been prior. Where does she land fresh? Throw in the penalty and it's certainly not straightforward. SASS APPEAL (2) will go and put herself in the right spot. She is racing well and is the here and now. SKY WATCHER (4) can be up there with her while NEXT JEN (5) looks well placed having raced in deeper through the spring.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at this track 3yo Bm70 January 17 over 1400m defeating The Volta with 52.5kg at $2.05. The run before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Seymour 3yo Mdn-Sw December 28 over 1400m defeating Forever Jo with 56kg at $1.85. In form and certainly worth a shot at this better company.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Manfred on January 24 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Space Rider carrying 55kg at $4.40. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 10 at Caulfield in the G3 Quezette on August 16 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Ferivia carrying 56kg at $18. Key runner who should be in the finish with the solid fresh platform.

Second run back. First-up after four months came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo F Bm64 on January 30 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Toronado Queen carrying 59.5kg at $18. Previously second-up 6th of 18 at this track in the LR Cap D'antibes on September 13 over 1100m, 4 len behind My Gladiola carrying 56kg at $101. Likely to find this out of reach.
