Flemington Race 5 - The Abc Bullion Damien Oliver (G2)
Wide-open affair here - genuinely every horse could win without surprising. PERICLES (1) has been tried as a sprinter in two runs this time in and just hasn't been sharp enough. He's run on well both times and hasn't been far away, now steps to 1400m where he's a G1 WFA winner. Plenty of weight but has earned it. Speaking of weights, STEPARTY (11) looks the best suited, dropping 3.5kg off a strong return in the Listed Weekend Hussler behind PERSIAN SPIRIT. He goes well at this track and trip and with any luck from the gate will go close. HUGHES (10) ran on well first up behind the pair of PRIVATE EYE (2) and WAR MACHINE (3). HUGHES meets that pair much better off here and should strip fitter. PRIVATE EYE will run another honest race and WAR MACHINE is also in the mix now that he's found form. Chances don't end there.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len in the LR Weekend Hussler Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 1400m defeating Steparty with 55.5kg at $6. The start before that 11th of 16 in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 5 len behind Angel Capital with 52kg at $31. Hard to knock especially from the good gate.

Racing well recently. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 in the G3 Harry White (Moonga) Stakes at Caulfield on October 17 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind War Machine with 57kg at $13. Before that 4th of 11 in the LR Paris Lane Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1400m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Cote Atlantique with 56.5kg at $12. Not far away last start. Place hope down in the weights.

Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 in the G3 Harry White (Moonga) Stakes at Caulfield on October 17 over 1400m, 9 len behind War Machine with 58kg at $6.50. The run before that came from midfield; 3rd of 11 in the LR Paris Lane Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Cote Atlantique with 56.5kg at $21. Poor latest, best form would give him a chance.

Second run back. First-up after five months crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 12 in a Hcp at Cranbourne on October 9 over 1200m, 2 len behind Ndola carrying 60.5kg at $41. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len in the G3 Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap at this track on March 7 over 1400m defeating Here To Shock carrying 54kg at $15. Fitter and the trip suits, not hopeless at big odds.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after three months 4th of 10 in the G2 Gilgai Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Skybird carrying 57kg at $20. Previously second-up settled towards the rear 2nd of 11 in a Bm100 at this track on April 25 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Big Swinger carrying 55kg at $2.60. Big return, hard to hold out if he gets a run.
