Flemington Race 3 - Drummond Golf Vase
TRUE REBEL (2) was too strong beating Meness at Geelong as favourite before getting a mile back at Caulfield behind a very well-rated leader and rattling home to just miss. Was unsuited staying down in trip there and now gets to 2040m from a soft gate. He's close enough to Derby favourite and can justify that with victory here. JOELY (11) looks a filly suited up in trip. She's been good from hopeless spots her past two behind Saintly Dancer who won the Thousand Guineas last week. She'll be charging late. Not giving up on SKUA (4) who just did way too much wrong on a very slow speed last week in the G3 Caulfield Classic. If he gets his manners right he can improve out of sight. SALANN (10) got home well in the Thousand Guineas at 100/1 and looks back on track, respecting. LEPOLO (1) was solid in the Caulfield Classic, unsuited back in the field there. He can improve.

Unsuited last week, can improve here.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 8 in a 3yo Bm70 at Caulfield on October 14 over 1600m, head behind Mister Whiskers with 58.5kg at $2.90. Before that favourite; won by 0.8 len in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on September 23 over 1525m defeating Meness carrying 57kg at $1.80. Went close last time. Big run latest now gets to right trip and draws perfectly for Shinn.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 8 in a 3yo Bm70 at Caulfield on October 14 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Mister Whiskers carrying 59kg at $6.50. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Cranbourne on September 25 over 1400m defeating Sneaky Russian with 57kg at $2.45. Not far away last time. Coming along well and can improve again.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 in the G3 Caulfield Classic on October 17 over 2000m, 5 len behind King Snitz with 57kg at $10. The start before that 6th of 12 in the LR Super Impose Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1800m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Miss Waititi with 57kg at $21. Too keen last week, can improve if he improves his manners.

Racing well recently. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 in a 3yo Bm70 at Caulfield on October 14 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Mister Whiskers carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a long-neck in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 20 over 1500m defeating Gilgeous with 58kg at $1.30. Solid latest but had every hope, each way.

Dual acceptor. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Endless Fury carrying 57kg at $5. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Geelong on October 7 over 2270m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Cold Shower carrying 58kg at $17. Hard to have in this tough line-up.

Form hard to fault. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 4 over 1500m, slow going 1.5 len behind Certainly Quiet carrying 57kg at $1.80. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 20 over 1500m, long-neck behind Written Empire carrying 58kg at $14. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Would've been a good thing at Mornington, this is a tougher ask.

At the latest run from last on the turn 6th of 12 in the G1 Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on October 17 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Saintly Dancer with 56kg at $101. Before that ran last of 11 in the G2 Edward Manifold Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1600m, on a wet track; 16 len behind Saintly Dancer with 56kg at $10. Much better last week and warrants respect up in trip.

At the latest run 2nd of 11 in the G2 Edward Manifold Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1600m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Saintly Dancer carrying 56kg at $14. Before that got back early 6th of 10 in the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Icelady carrying 56kg at $21. Closed off well last time and that form has been franked, go close.
