DAZZLING ROBERT (5) progressed nicely last time out when he did his best work late to finish just 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at Ballina. Worth noting Danny Peisley goes aboard. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. VETOED (6) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Grafton. Looks a winning chance. NEOCLASSICISM (1) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1110m at Lismore. Will be hard to stop. EMPRESS OF MILAN (10) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 3/01/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1800m at Port Macquarie. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
