Bulletson

I think he's a rough as guts Derby chance and have taken the $81/$21 with Crown for an interest. Will be happy enough if he makes it to the race. Bjorn did something similar with Impavido, who went from a big maiden win at the provincials to running 4th in the Randwick Guineas, 6th in the Rosehill Guineas and down the track in the Derby. I'm thinking this one is up to something like that potentially if he keeps improving.

Djebel - would you mind posting his pedigree when you get a sec? He's by Bullet Train who I'm pretty sure is Frankel's brother?

He will get back but it isn't a massive field. The biggest query is the rail is out 9m, which can make it tougher to make ground. But otherwise he looks the most progressive here.

They've come out of the trees to back the Godolphin filly Flying - by Reset ex the Thousand Guineas winner All Time High - and I can't really understand why. She won well last start, overcoming interference, but that was a mile maiden and she had chances to break through beforehand. Although she goes from provincial to country, she goes from maiden to BM61 and goes up a whopping 4.5kg - that's a fair whack for a 3yo filly stepping out of maiden grade for the first time.

In contrast, Bulletson goes from country to provincial, however he was unlucky when about to run into the race at Kembla two starts ago. He only goes up 2.5kg and is going from class 1 to BM61. I feel he's treated better here - aided by the 1.5kg claim of the in form Jean Claude Van Damme. The toppie surely has too much weight and is a bit unreliable. Happy to risk him.

Keen to bet up. I'm told he could be on his way to Hong Kong soon so they're surely looking to increase the value.

They're not machines, he'll get another chance.
