LEI (8) returned impressively two back at Echuca and consequently started favourite over 1300m at Wangaratta last start but found a couple better. Blinkers go on today which could be the key. Not a great deal of depth to this so she looks the one. OYSTER LANE (6) registered his seventh minor placing from 11 runs when beaten under a length at a short quote over this trip at Horsham ten days ago. Becoming very costly for punters. Maher tinkers with the gear so he should be given another chance. THANKFUL SMILE (11) returned from a five-month spell and was only lining up for the second time when a closing fourth over 1100m at Pakenham recently. Will enjoy getting out over a bit more ground. Wide gate the only knock. VARADERO (7) has performed well at his two runs to date. Races beyond 1125m for the first time which will suit. OVERPRICED (5) was beaten a long way into third on debut at Moe 17 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on May 19 over 1400m, in the wet; 0.8 len behind Spike Almighty carrying 59.5kg at $1.65. The race before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on May 1 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Hulkster with 59.5kg at $2.30. Big chance with a repeat of the latest effort.

Was at big odds at debut, 5th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1212m, slow going 7 len behind Brroosha carrying 55kg at $41. Hard to be diving in at this stage.

Comments

Three-year-old filly (Lucky Vega - Rockzel) who was bought for AUD $ 55,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). She has five recent trials leading in today's debut. Finished seventh in a Pakenham jump-out on April 21. Not keen.

Comments

Third race start. First start 5th of 11 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on December 23 over 1200m, 4 len behind Our Justify carrying 53kg at $5.50. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 9 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Salaria with 57kg at $14. Strips fitter and there is plenty of improvement to come.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
