Impressive win from an impressive gelding. Hopefully we get to see him put a prep together this Autumn. He's now 2/2 in Australia after starting his career with a barnstorming run at Wingatui.

Missed the start? No Fuss 😅

Despite giving away four lengths early, 4YO No Fuss flashes home to score in what is a remarkable recovery ⭐️

Swycho makes her Aus debut in the first at Morphettville. Was knocking on the door to break maidens in NZ and comes out of a race that rated well L/S.

Our Paramour debuts for Te Akau in R2 at Cranbourne. Full sister to Smokeshow who has showed good ability at the races in NZ. Won a trial well in March at Taupo and jumped out well at the start of August. Drawn well and should land prominent. Blake Shinn aboard.

Breaks maidens in her second Australian start. Still doing a few things wrong but has stacks of ability.

Emelia Jane flies home and narrowly wins the fifth at Newcastle for @PrideRacing! 💥

Obadiah will make his Aus debut in R7 at Seymour. Gelding with ability but manners have let him down on occasion which has resulted in him not winning since his debut. All 3 runs last prep were good & he's had a jump out on the synth. Will settle back & be running home strongly.

Savaglee's full sister breaks maidens in impressive fashion at Murwillumbah today. She featured on this page prior to her debut and it was nice to see her return so well in the same week her brother returned impressively at Taupo.

Glebe was too good for them at @tweedrjc!

She's A Hustler will make make her Aus debut in R4 at Geelong tomorrow. On debut in December she made nice ground late over 1400 behind Sterling Express who has won two further races. Has won both of her jump outs and should be going close to breaking maidens.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Never got a crack at them after getting stuck 3 fence. Definitely keep an eye for where she heads second up.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Sunrise will make her Aus debut in R5 at Hawkesbury tomorrow. Finished off last prep running second to Sergeant Major at Trentham. 3-1/4L back to Conello who won her next start to the races. Draws well to land prominent & comes in off a good trial at Nowra last week.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Emilia Jane will make her Aus debut in R7 at Kembla Grange. She ran a big race on debut at Te Rapa in January which the form stacked up out of big time. Drawn wide but was going to get back anyway and trialed well against race rivals 2 weeks ago at Hawkesbury.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Tulsi will make her Australian debut in R6 at Randwick on Saturday. She was up there with our better 3YO fillies last season, most notably placing in the 1000 Guineas. 1200 fresh is a nice starting point and she trialed nicely 2 weeks ago at Warwick Farm. J Mac to ride.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Salonius makes his Aus debut in R6 at Kembla Grange tomorrow. Fresh up & comes in off a solid trial at Warwick Farm. Won a R65 in January beating home Marengo and Cornelia on a good deck. Should go forward from the wide gate and be in it for a long way. Jason Collet to ride.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

No Fuss runs fresh up in R2 at Ballarat Synthetic tomorrow. On debut at Wingatui he was impressive over 1200, making up a stack of ground from a long way back. Jump Out was solid but I think he's just a watch tomorrow at a short quote. Make a note for when he gets to 1600/2000.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

A couple of Ex Kiwi's line up in R3 at Warwick Farm tomorrow. McKenzie is fresh up without a trial. He is a horse that has shown potential but is yet to fulfill it. Also in the race is Linwood on debut. This may be a bit short but she won a trial nicely in April at Te Awamutu.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Cliodhna Maeve lines up for her second Australian start in R4 at Doomben on Wednesday. Drew the inside fresh and found the trail but never got a shot at them. Trialed well prior and showed good ability in NZ. Drawn 11 so should get clear running. She'll be flying home late.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

R8 - Lincoln Rocks. Has been over a year off the scene but when last seen at the races he was an impressive winner over 2100 at Hastings. The fav will be hard to beat and he's looking for further but he looks to have returned well and is one to tuck away in the blackbook.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

A couple of interesting Ex Kiwi's at Sale on Wednesday. R3 -Ongatiti. Ran home well on debut after getting well back from a wide barrier. Had won a trial prior beating home Monkhana and The Prophet who have both broken maidens. Won a jumpout last week & has been well found at $5.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Hot Chilli Mama lines up in R2 at Mornington tomorrow off the back of a long spell. When last seen at the races she ran third at Hastings over 1200m, 2L behind Orchestral. Jump outs have been better than they read & she can use the inside barrier. Shortener in the market.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Former Te Akau trained 2YO Nebuchadnezzar goes around in R1 at Swan Hill at $1.75. In his only start he was black type placed in the Wellesley behind Archaic Smile who was a subsequent G1 placegetter. Both trials have been good & it will be worth at least tuning in to watch.

[Tom Collopy @tomcollopy]

Cranbourne R8 #8 Sleeper $14/$3.20. Ex Kiwi having his first Australian start today. Looked a progressive horse in his initial prep. Finished 0.6L off of Kind Thoughts in a MAAT to finish that prep & that form has stacked up since. Jumpouts have been solid. Bit of value for mine.
