Donald Race 5

Leading Teams Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

PINAZAKI (5) shows plenty of pace in his races, and that will serve him well on this course. He was only claimed late at Traralgon last start when finishing runner-up by a short head, and with the blinkers off for the first time, he may take them all the way. ALL EYES ON ERIN (7) rattled home fresh up for second at Ballarat, then was looking for more ground at Kilmore last time out. John Allen returns to the saddle, and she can bounce straight back into the money over a more suitable trip here. MOVE IT (4) was well in the market on debut when weakening to finish out of the money after travelling handy throughout. He has the pole position here and is worth another chance. FLARE OF GRACE (10) hit the line strongly for third on debut over 1200m, and the extra 150m will make all the difference this time. Stick with her.

Form hard to fault. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Traralgon on October 31 over 1430m, slow going head behind Castelli In Aria with 57kg at $2.80. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Avoca on October 17 over 1300m, nose behind French Reign with 57kg at $2.10. Looks a key runner.
