The imported gelding settled at the back of the field both runs this time in giving away impossible starts in fast run races, finishing off strongly. There was four-weeks between his two runs and Saturday&#8217;s race was 1300m in Luskin Star Stakes where the leaders cleared out so the beaten margin was more than six lengths but Welwal was last of 15 on the turn and finished sixth. Expecting him to step up to 1600m next start with the potential for a change of tactics notification that he will be more forward in running. The soft winter tracks are ideal, and I want to be on where the stable decides to go. <b>Career statistics (23:5-5-2).<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/blackbook\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/b> to blackbook Welwal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-=\"\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WHAT A FINISH! ????<\/p>\n<p>The Instructor wins on the line to beat Whinchat in the Luskin Star Stakes! ????<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GaiWaterhouse1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@GaiWaterhouse1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zv6EIFg0dn\">pic.twitter.com\/zv6EIFg0dn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkyRacingAU\/status\/1923628353086521830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/tracks\/vic\/flemington\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">FLEMINGTON<\/a> \u2013 Aaron Mills<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/profiles\/horse\/politely-dun-aus\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">POLITELY DUN<\/a><\/b> \u2013 It&#8217;s all systems go for a Queensland Derby tilt after his strong win on Saturday.

The colt by Graff began well enough but was forced to travel four wide without cover, six lengths off them. He was the widest runner straightening with the runner-up Gallo Nero. Grafterburners loomed at the 150m but faded late to be beaten a half a length behind Cool Archie.

Should be peaking with two solid runs under the belt, getting too far back on both occasions. On Saturday in the Benchmark 78 Handicap over 1000m he was back last at the turn before unleashing a strong finish, running the second best last 400m sectional for the meeting. Would love to see them find an 1100m race for him as he&#8217;s genuine and generally goes around over the odds due to his get back and run on racing style. <b>Career statistics (40:6-6-7).<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/blackbook\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/b> to blackbook Winning Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/tracks\/wa\/belmont\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">BELMONT<\/a> \u2013 Aaron Mills<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racenet.com.au\/profiles\/horse\/sunny-honey-aus\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">SUNNY HONEY<\/a><\/b> \u2013 This gelding has a great affinity with the Belmont Park circuit and looks in for a good winter after an excellent run resuming.
