Echuca Race 2

Remembering Mikaela Claridge Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

PORTLAND ROSE (11) resumes having been thought highly enough of by connections to tackle the G2 Blue Diamond Prelude on debut. She only beat one home there behind subsequent Blue Diamond winner Streisand but comes back a mile in grade now and can be further improved. Go close. PRESSCODE (1) resumes off a long break. He ran well on debut at Morphettville before a sound effort at Moe. Market will be key but can run well. FULLY FUNDED (6) resumes. She just found one better on debut at Kyneton and is another expected to improve this time around. Debutant BIG TROUBLE (8) showed enough in her recent jump-out placing to suggest she can make her presence felt too.

Most recently ran second last of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Berrigan on August 22 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Light The Sage carrying 59kg at $3.30. The run before that came from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Narrandera on August 15 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Bella Katelyn carrying 59kg at $31. Looks tested in this field.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when ran second last of 11 in the G2 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at Caulfield on February 7 over 1100m, 8 len behind Streisand carrying 56kg at $31. This is an ideal race to kick off. Should do much better here.
