Prize Money: $42,500

HE'S REGAL (6) was well backed on debut at Sale and just missed a nose in an encouraging effort. Expected to improve off that and Blake Shinn sticks. He draws perfectly and will be very hard to catch. PRINCE OF PORTLAND (9) has placed in both runs back, backing up the fresh run with a narrow defeat at Ballarat Synthetic last time. Onto turf now but that should be fine and he can figure. AEMOND (3) is a well-bred colt by Written Tycoon on debut for the Freedman yard. Represents strong connections and Zahra booked, keeping safe. STAY INDOORS (12) ran well on debut behind HE'S REGAL and maps well. Can figure again.

Most recently ran second last of 8 in a 4yo+ Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 18 over 1000m, 6 len behind Master Jack with 55.5kg at $101. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 3 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Autumn Lover with 57.5kg at $151. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
