Flemington Race 2

Honouring Our Jockeys Plate (Bm78)

Prize Money: $130,000

Hard to see how they beat TOUCHDOWN (2) again. He's kept raising the bar with some ultra progressive wins, far too good at $1.60 last time over 1800m. He looks like he'll continue to improve over more ground and with more racing. Odds-on looks fair. TRAPALANDA (8) was only second up when chasing TOUCHDOWN home there and meets him 6kg better off at the weights. That's significant and he'll relish 2000m but fancy the winner has even more to offer. WOLFESS (10) is going great guns of late, just run down late her past couple. She does no work here and should be right there. SUN GIFT (9) was a tough winner second up at Cranbourne and can go on with it while POLITELY DUN (7) is going well and can be flying late.

On a three run winning streak. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Caulfield Heath Bm70 December 20 over 1800m defeating Trapalanda with 58kg at $1.60. Before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Caulfield Heath Bm66 December 3 over 1800m defeating Fiorenot with 60.5kg at $1.50. Very progressive and looks the winner again.

Previously second-up won by 2.25 len at Randwick Cg&E Bm78 July 27 2024 over 1800m on a heavy track defeating Go Troppo carrying 56kg at $9. Looks to have a big job ahead again.

Form hard to fault. Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm66 on December 26 over 2100m, 1.3 len behind Expeetee carrying 57kg at $6. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm66 on December 10 over 2100m, nose behind Bon Fete with 58.5kg at $5. Sets up well here and can figure.
