Why So Hard

Barrier 6 · Jockey Tyler Schiller · Trainer M, W & J Hawkes · 57kg · Form 1x3

Model win 3.98 · place 1.62

Caught the eye when 3rd last time at Rosehill and up against weaker rivals. Displays very good finishing speed. Going up in distance. Worth strong consideration.

Second-up. Promising on debut ran on from midfield and won by a head in a 2yo Hcp at this track on June 6 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Seductra carrying 56kg at $5. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 10 in the G2 Roman Consul Stakes at Rosehill on October 10 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Satono Glow with 56.5kg at $21. Fitter for that run and there is a stack of room for improvement second-up.

Eye-catching return at good odds when third in the Roman Consul behind a classy filly. 1200m to 1600m isn't ideal, but he is promising.

Second-up after finishing third in a G2 over 1200m, beaten 1.7 lengths after being slowly away, and now steps up to the mile. Strong recent figures make this one hard to beat.

Barrier 7 · Jockey Jason Collett · Trainer Chris Waller · 57kg · Form 23x3404

Model win 4.00 · place 1.63

Started $14.00 and improved when 4th last start at Caulfield and competing in an easier class. Will be hitting the line strongly. Great chance.

Last start 4th of 11 in the G1 Caulfield Guineas on October 10 over 1600m, 5 len behind Warwoven with 57kg at $14. The start before that struggled in the run home; 10th of 12 in the G1 Golden Rose Stakes at Rosehill on September 26 over 1400m, 6 len behind Warwoven with 56.5kg at $31. Back a level or two this afternoon - a first visit to the winner's circle is overdue.

Went too hard in the lead in the Golden Rose, which was a new role for him. Bounced back with a good effort at Caulfield. Respect.

Five runs into the campaign, the latest was a fourth in a G1 over 1600m, beaten 5.2 lengths. Proven over the trip and G1 class make this a serious winning chance.

Good effort to run 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Rosehill and showing consistent performance in races. Has claims.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 7 in the G3 Heritage Stakes at Rosehill on September 26 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Blue Door carrying 56kg at $4.20. Last start 2nd of 9 in a LR The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Chuchichaschtli carrying 55kg at $17. Up in class but strips fitter and can hit the frame again.

Had a slow recovery after settling back and finding it hard over 1100m fresh. Kept chasing when up to 1400m latest. Ready?

Third run of the campaign following a second in the 1400m Listed race, beaten 1.7 lengths, with strong recent figures. The mile is the next test, but this remains a key chance.

Model win 6.20 · place 2.08

Felt the pinch late when 3rd last start at Rosehill and drawn nicely. Placed at every start this campaign. Will need to elevate.

Recent form sound. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 in a LR The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 2 len behind Chuchichaschtli carrying 55kg at $11. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len in a Cg&E Mdn at Kembla Grange on September 26 over 1400m defeating Italian Spirit carrying 57kg at $1.75. Drawn to have an impact in a race like this.

Stuck on solidly when rising in class last time. His last 50m there gave some hint that further would be okay.

Fourth-up after finishing third in the 1400m Listed race, beaten 2.1 lengths, and maps close to the speed for the mile. Recent form gives him a strong chance.

Revengeance

Barrier 8 · Jockey Tim Clark · Trainer Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott · 57kg · Form 31x768

Model win 11.16 · place 3.04

At $5.50 faded away to finish 8th last run at Rosehill. Represents significant value.

At the latest run ran second last of 9 in a LR The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 6 len behind Chuchichaschtli carrying 57kg at $5.50. The start before that 6th of 11 in a G2 The Run To The Rose at Rosehill on September 12 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Warwoven carrying 57kg at $26. A chance on his Run To The Rose effort two back.

Caught wide and never looked comfortable last start. Needs to jump better and be sent forward. Likely improver.

At the fourth run of the campaign, an eighth in the 1400m Listed race last start came after a sixth in G2 company. Recent stakes form means he needs to improve clearly.

Model win 20.32 · place 4.63

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Kembla Grange but racing against tougher rivals. Ultra competitive this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Struggle to recommend.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming won by 0.7 len in a Super Cg&E M-Sw at Newcastle on September 19 over 1250m defeating Klocke with 56.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell won by 1.3 len in a Bm64 at Kembla Grange on October 10 over 1400m defeating Fiftyfivechevy with 56.5kg at $4.40. Will need to do even more to match a few of these.

Well bred gelding who has settled second-half and been strong through the line in both wins this time in. Can go on.

Three runs into the campaign, consecutive wins over 1250m and 1400m bring him here in good form, although he maps back for the mile. The new trip and stronger recent figures among his rivals make this a stern test.

Started at $71.00 and moved through the field into 5th last start at Rosehill. In fine form this preparation. Might have to make up considerable ground. Very minor chance.

At the latest run got back early 5th of 9 in a LR The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 3 len behind Chuchichaschtli with 55kg at $71. Before that 3rd of 10 in a 3yo Bm68 at Warwick Farm on September 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Blessed Eagle with 57kg at $10. Not keen on his chances this time.

Been honest this time in. Up in trip and tried hard last time. Place looks best again.

Fifth-up after a fifth in the 1400m Listed race, beaten 3.1 lengths, following a third over 1200m. Needs to take another step to threaten.

Improved to place when 3rd beaten by more than 6L last start at Randwick Kensington but up against stronger competition. Very competitive this campaign. Could not recommend.

Most recently 3rd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Randwick Kensington on October 7 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Love Story with 54.5kg at $17. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 in a F&M Mdn at Newcastle on September 18 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Your Colour carrying 57.5kg at $12. Meets a tough line-up so prefer others.

A long way off the quinella when third on the Kenso track. Needs to improve for this.

The fourth run of the campaign follows a sixth over 1400m. First-time blinkers are intended to sharpen focus, and a likely lead map is an asset, but recent form needs a sharp reversal.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last start at Kembla Grange and racing over a longer distance. Up against a more competitive field. Will be a difficult test.

Dual acceptor. Raced two times to date. At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Randwick Kensington on September 9 over 1150m, 5 len behind Threads with 55kg at $19. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 in a Mid Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on October 10 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Bold Bucks with 55kg at $5. Looks tested in this field.

Okay on debut in good time in a deep maiden. Solid third at Kembla only up 50m and looks suited getting out further in trip now.

Third-up after a third over 1200m in a maiden, following a fifth at 1150m, and now rises to the mile. The increase in distance makes this a tough assignment.

Started at $51.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last start at Kembla Grange but drawn well. Has early speed and positions nicely. Stepping up in distance. Unlikely to go close.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First start 7th of 10 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on May 14 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Dashing Splendour carrying 55kg at $41. Returned from break sat on the pace before fading 7th of 12 in a Mid Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on October 10 over 1200m, 5 len behind Bold Bucks with 55kg at $51. Zero chance on what we have seen.

Not disgraced off a wide run at debut, fading from the 200m after facing the breeze at second go. Prefer others.

Back for the second run of the campaign after a seventh over 1200m at Kembla, following a seventh at 1100m at Hawkesbury. Recent race form leaves her up against it at this trip.

Finished 6th last start at Caulfield but hard to fault at the trip. Facing weaker opposition.

Dual acceptor. Last start eased back early on 6th of 11 in the G1 Caulfield Guineas on October 10 over 1600m, 8 len behind Warwoven carrying 57kg at $31. The run before that came from midfield and won by a head in the G2 Bill Stutt Stakes at Caulfield on September 27 over 1600m defeating Somethings Burnin' carrying 57kg at $3.20. Better off in this company and should be hard to catch if he can control things.

Made some ground from last in the Caulfield Guineas. Alley relevant there. He can settle closer and be competitive.

Racing and Sports

WHY SO HARD (4) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at Rosehill. Should be in the finish. REVENGEANCE (3) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m in the LR The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill in a disappointing performance. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to turn the recent effort around. CENTRAL EUROPE (2) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1600m in the G1 Caulfield Guineas. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. DIAMETER (1) settled well back before finishing 8 lengths adrift in sixth over 1600m in the G1 Caulfield Guineas last time. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and cannot be taken lightly.

Dabble

WHY SO HARD (4) Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last time at Rosehill and dropping in class. Will be trying to topple them late. Facing a rise in trip. Will go well. CENTRAL EUROPE (2) Edged past some when finishing 4th last start at Caulfield and up against a less challenging field. Should be swooping on the field late. Live winning chance. OMOLONG (5) Managed to run 2nd last start at Rosehill and putting a tidy record together. Looks promising in this race. REVENGEANCE (3) Didn't find the line when 8th last run at Rosehill. One of the hopes.

Timeform (FanDuel)

WHY SO HARD (4) returned from an 18-week spell and was lining up for only the second time when an eye-catching third in the 6f Roman Consul at Rosehill last start. Should have no trouble running a strong mile. Exciting prospect who can use this as a stepping stone to better things. CENTRAL EUROPE (2) has had wraps on him since day one but remains a maiden after six appearances. Won't have Warwoven to contend today and he should be rock hard fit after four runs in elite races this prep. D-Day for him. REVENGEANCE (3) finished 2.5 lengths behind Warwoven two back but didn't flatter either side of that outing. Can finish top four if he runs to his best. OMOLONG (5) might not be up to this grade but from a nice gate he is worth throwing in the exotics.

Best Bets

Six stables provide this field of 11. We note firstly that DIAMETER has accepted in the G1 Spring Champion over 2000m so we'll see what decision is made for him. Stablemate maiden CENTRAL EUROPE beat him home convincingly in the Caulfield Guineas so he has that to worry about for starters. CENTRAL has been up against good quality all the way since his debut (he has four times run in races won by Warwoven) so he will be pleased to see some different faces here. WHY SO HARD also from a different angle but I just loved his return. Sure, 1200 to 1600m can be a challenge but the upside is undeniable.

The Group 3 Callander-Presnell for 3YO's is over 1600m for a million dollars. 4. WHY SO HARD really hit the line when balanced up, and finished third fresh up in the G2 Roman Consul Stakes at Rosehill a fortnight ago. He steps straight up from 1200m to 1600m, and that makes him the one to beat. 2. CENTRAL EUROPE trekked south to finish a sound fifth in the G1 Caulfield Guineas at Caulfield 2 weeks ago, and he will find this company not so rich. He did look better ridden with cover, and off what should be a genuine tempo, he can run into the top 3 here. 3. REVENGEANCE has been a tad disappointing in 3 runs back from a spell, and could be wanting a mile at this stage of his prep. He is worth another chance, so include him in all top 4 combos. 5. OMOLONG is a promising colt, and he will be peaking at the right time for this. He tries 1600m for the first time, which should suit him, and from a good gate, he can take this out.

Racing Central

WHY SO HARD (4) maps midfield behind the leaders, while OMOLONG (5) is expected to settle back. MEMORISE (9) should lead, with CENTRAL EUROPE (2), REVENGEANCE (3) and LAFITE (6) pressing close. WHY SO HARD (4) finished third in a G2 over 1200m last start after being slowly away. He brings the strongest recent figures and is the market leader, although the mile is a new test. OMOLONG (5) was second, beaten 1.7 lengths, in the 1400m Listed race, and his recent figures support the rise to 1600m. CENTRAL EUROPE (2) was fourth in a G1 over this trip last start, beaten 5.2 lengths, and retains strong class claims. LAFITE (6) placed third in the same Listed race after winning a 1400m maiden; his on-pace map gives him a strong chance.
