    Race Analysis

    FEDERALIST (4) finished ninth over 1m2f in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick at his most recent appearance on October 25. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. STANDARD DEVIATION (1) is back after a break of eight months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1m at Naas. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Flemington. Set for a bold return. IRREVERENT (12) finished second last start over 7f at this track, beaten a nose. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WRITTEN STORY (10) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on May 2, finishing eighth and beaten 18 lengths over 1m at Cranbourne. Can make her presence felt.
