Common Objective ran a very credible 4th over 2000m in the Group 3 race at Randwick last Saturday. Forced to do a lot of work early and caught wide Common Objective stuck to his guns well to battle on and run 4th after doing a lot of hard work.  He was always going to be disadvantaged coming back from 2400m to 2000m and this race has set him up beautifully for his next assignment - the Manion Cup over 2400m at Rosehill on March 28th.

Promising 5 year old Fusaichi Pegasus gelding Ashikaga runs in the Group 3 Newcastle Newmarket Hcp 1400m on Wednesday.  Ashikaga has an imposing record and returned to racing with a brilliant win over 1400m at Rosehill 2 weeks ago. His work since has been fantastic and he will prove very hard to beat on Wednesday.  This horse needs to keep winning to get a weight penalty so he can move up the order of entry for the Group 1 Doncaster Mile at Randwick over Easter.
