CALLADA (3) could only manage ninth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Wanganui, beaten only one length after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. MARKET PLACE (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 12/01/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1300m at Ellerslie. Rates highly and should take some beating. BRAZEN AFFAIR (7) is back at the races for the first time since December 30. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Tauherenikau. Can make her presence felt. LADY GEORGIANA (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Hawera, beaten 6 lengths into ninth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
