PAPA SURF (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 23/11/2024, finishing 13th and beaten 11 lengths over 1200m at Wanganui. Top chance with the blinkers applied. LADY GEORGIANA (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Pukekohe. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1200m at Ellerslie, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. EL JAYCEE (2) registered a strong win at Waverley two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing second over 1400m at Waverley, beaten 1.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. TIVACI'S AFFAIR (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Waverley, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can atone.
