INATICK (2) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1000m at Flinton, making it two minor placings in a row. Has good early pace. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. TREASURER (3) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1350m at Doomben, an improvement on his 11th at Gold Coast the run before. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. THE SUN DANCE (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 16/11/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Looks a strong top-three prospect. AITUTAKI (9) was last at the races when she finished third over 1350m at Ipswich on December 18. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
