TELEPHONE TALKER (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1m at this track (Turf) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. FOOL FOR THE CITY (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Fitter so expect a better run this time. ULTIMATE IRONY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARQUET MALICE (2) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth in a 1m contest at Belterra Park a month ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
