Marble Nine, Luna Cat

Warrnambool R8

MN is super-consistent and got up in fine style 18 days ago at $8.50 and he shapes up as a real chance her as $4.80 second-fav.

A superbly timed run from LC at Terang to nudge out the hotpot fav on the line at $4.70 17 days ago

I Am The Empire

Canterbury R7

Frontrunner noted with an on-pace win in October then went to the paddock after running well behind State of America. Resumed also from a 144 day break a month ago with a big win at $15 for us under today’s jockey and expected him to figure 21 days ago but he faded late. Prepared to forgive that one, back in grade here and can make amends here at $5.
