A frosty morning at Flemington but livened up by some solid gallops from horses engaged at the weekend.
The Danny O'Brien-trained Second Bullet and Another Bullseye both have nominations for races at Flemington on Saturday. They were on the steeple grass over 1400m and strong through the line without any pressure.
Work on the grass was again right-handed and on the rail. The ground riding in the good(3) range.
Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the work to assist punters.
