Ararat Race 5

Ararat Advocate 2yo & 3yo Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

RAVISHING ROXY (6) ran third last start at Charlton over 2100m, beaten 6 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Meets a comparable field and she can get the job done. COCO MILLER (1) is stepping out for the first time. By American Ideal and hails from the M J Bellman stable. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Trial winner who looks above average. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. BAY LA VILLE (8) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest tenth over 2150m at Bendigo nine months ago. SWEET LADY LOU (7) is in the mix following a sixth at her first run back over 1690m at Maryborough.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1700m at Horsham, at the bell was 5th-10.7 beaten 12 m by Bigbashash (2:05.70) on July 27 at $81. Two runs back 8th (Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough, well beaten by Comeandsee (2:40.00) in 2yo on May 31 at $81. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr2) over 1660m at Hamilton, beaten 19 m by Miki Shadow (2:02.00) in 3yo on August 10 at $41. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1680m at Terang, beaten 60 m by Idealwright (2:02.10) on July 12 at $81. This looks far too tough.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Five Cent at Charlton over 2100m on July 6 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Huxham Chubb at Charlton over 2100m in a M on August 17 at $7.50. Will prove tough to beat in a modest line-up.

Comments

Resuming after nine months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into tenth behind Kaiko Jett at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo F on November 26 at $17. Previous preparation first-up failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 2.75 m (Sr1) at Kilmore (2:04.00) beating Swaywithsierra in 2yo on November 13 at $7. Sure to play a major role.
