Flemington Race 4 - Schweppes Poseidon Stakes (G3)
Good betting race for the boys with Sydneysider PARADOXIUM (1) resuming. He won his first two starts impressively, winning the G2 Todman nicely first up last campaign. Didn't fire thereafter but loved his latest trial and 1100m looks ideal. Very wary of MBUBE (6) who made a big impression winning on debut at Sandown Hillside, coming from well off the pace with a booming close to win well. Has been trialling very nicely and will be charging home under Zahra. BIG SKY (3) resumes. Unbeaten in two runs over 1000m, he was a one-time Blue Diamond favourite. He's jumped out well enough and has plenty of pace to get away with this. STEEL WILL (5) has been very good winning two runs in Sydney this time in. Back in trip but looks up to this. HARD KICK (2) won the G3 Vain last time but the form out of that race has been awful, just want to see him do it again.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of five-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign sixth of 13 at Randwick in the G1 Sires Prod April 4 over 1400m, soft track; 7 len behind Campione D'italia with 56.5kg at $8. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.4 len Randwick G2 Todman March 7 over 1200m defeating Stretan Ruler with 56.5kg at $2.60. Fast 2yo who looks to have come back well, takes catching.

Third-up today. First-up faded in the straight 6th of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on July 18 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Riverina Lulu carrying 57.5kg at $2. Second run from a spell won by a long-neck in the G3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield on August 15 over 1100m in soft going defeating Organised Crime with 57kg at $7. Tougher here but hard to ignore entirely.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; won by a head in a 3yo Hcp at Sandown-Hillside on August 22 over 1000m on a heavy track defeating Jacaranda carrying 53kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field in the LR Redoute's Choice Stakes at Caulfield on April 11 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Gin Twist with 57kg at $3. Won a weak race fresh, level of improvement the key.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign eighth of 10 at Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush May 2 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Marffiano with 58kg at $12. When resuming last campaign third of 12 at Caulfield Vobis Showdown March 14 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Big Wigs carrying 58kg at $10. Might be better off following this run.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Sale on July 26 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating All That And More carrying 58kg at $2.35. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 in the G3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield on August 15 over 1100m, slow going long-neck behind Hard Kick carrying 56kg at $26. Risking with more depth here.
