Pakenham 03 March 2022

Most recently slowly away and eased near 800m; second last of 10 at Werribee 3yo Mdn on February 13 over 1100m, 9 len behind White Wedding with 58kg at $61. Before that eased back early on 7th of 10 at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Mdn on January 22 over 1009m, 6 len behind Neverstandingstill carrying 58kg at $31. Looks to be making up the numbers.

Resuming after four months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 9 at Mornington 3yo+ Mdn October 31 over 1000m, 6 len behind Unflinching carrying 57kg at $4.30. Previously first up; third of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic 3yo+ Mdn August 27 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Deep Blast with 57kg at $16. Sure to be thereabouts.

Resuming after a 11 months break. Finished off last campaign began awkwardly; with blinkers first time; fourth of 9 at this track 2yo Mdn March 25 over 1200m, soft track; 4 len behind Patton carrying 58kg at $8. On debut laid out on straightening; second of 10 at Cranbourne 2yo Mdn March 5 over 1000m, soft track; 2.5 len behind He's Xceptional carrying 58kg at $3. Can fire while fresh.

Before that struck interference at start; sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at Benalla 3yo Mdn Plate on February 7 over 1206m, 4 len behind Boo's Reward carrying 58kg at $26. Drawn to advantage and looks a solid chance.

Was well in the market at debut, 4th of 10 at Stony Creek 3yo+ Mdn on February 14 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Froggy carrying 59kg at $4.50. Fair effort on debut but may need more racing.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Sale 3yo F Mdn on February 13 over 1100m, nose behind Morean with 57kg at $9. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Bendigo 3yo+ F&M Mdn on February 6 over 1100m, 0.9 len behind The Globe with 57.5kg at $10. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign began awkwardly; eighth of 10 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn September 11 over 1000m, 5 len behind Midnight Dream carrying 55kg at $1.90. On debut second of 7 (laid out on straightening; laid out near 50m; rider charged with careless riding) at Moe 2yo F Mdn July 17 over 1117m, on rain affected going; 1.0 len behind Another Engagement with 57kg at $3.80. Expect a bold showing.

First starter by Nicconi out of Ambrosia. Ran second in Cranbourne trial over 800m February 7. In this field rates a place chance.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Geelong 3yo F Mdn on January 23 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Miss Melbourne carrying 57kg at $11. Second run from a spell second last of 8 (began awkwardly; eased near 200m; not fully tested) at Stony Creek 3yo Mdn on February 14 over 1000m, 5 len behind Ultravox carrying 56kg at $4.50. Needs to step up.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Echuca 3yo Mdn October 1 over 1100m, soft track; 7 len behind Extreme Warrior with 56kg at $101. On debut hung in in straight; ran last of 7 at Wangaratta 3yo F Mdn September 6 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Throntari with 57kg at $101. Not keen on her chances.

Second-up. First-up after 11 months made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Albury Mdn Hcp on February 3 over 1175m, on a slow track; neck behind Darenay carrying 56kg at $6. Previously second-up second last of 11 (keen; checked near 150m; became unbalanced) at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Mdn on February 20 2021 over 1000m, 11 len behind Frenzy Lune with 59.5kg at $15. Strong winning chance.

Resuming after a nine months break. Not seen since he finished throughout; ran last of 10 at Albury Mdn Hcp June 15 over 1500m, on heavy track; 22 len behind Encyclopedia with 59kg at $12.

Looking to others.

Four-year-old gelding (Headwater - Amarachi) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Last trial fifth at Traralgon in a 1430m trial on June 7. Hard to have in this line up.

Resuming after 13 months. Finished off last campaign keen; third of 7 at Colac 3yo Mdn February 14 2021 over 1200m, soft track; 1.3 len behind Coquille carrying 58kg at $2.80. First up last campaign second of 7 at Benalla 3yo Mdn Plate January 19 2021 over 1212m, a head behind Thorogood carrying 58kg at $3.50. Likely to play a major role.

Jumped at big odds at debut, broke poorly (3l); second last of 9 at Moe 3yo+ Mdn on February 20 over 1117m, 13 len behind Mystery Eclipse carrying 59kg at $41. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

At debut, began awkwardly; with blinkers first time; 7th of 13 at Benalla 3yo Mdn Plate on February 7 over 1206m, 8 len behind Boo's Reward carrying 58kg at $16. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Racing second-up today. Last start 4th of 12 at this track 4yo+ Mdn on February 10 over 1200m, 3 len behind Denim Wars with 54.5kg at $3.80.

Resuming. Not seen since she finished interference at start; ran last of 12 at Yarra Valley 3yo+ F&M Mdn November 27 over 1200m, 40 len behind Cantina carrying 58kg at $101. On debut second last of 9 at Moe 4yo+ Mdn Plate November 8 over 1217m, soft track; 12 len behind Our Tigersun carrying 57.5kg at $12. Marginal prospect.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run weakened near 500m; ran last of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo+ F&M Mdn on January 14 over 1300m, 33 len behind Rumbled Again carrying 55kg at $101. The start before that with blinkers first time; ran last of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1200m, 10 len behind Daytona Bay carrying 57.5kg at $151. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up wide throughout; 3rd of 9 at Sale 3yo+ F&M Mdn on January 31 over 1206m, on a wet track; 1.0 len behind Tiara Jewel carrying 56.5kg at $4.50. Second run from a spell 4th in a small field (difficult to load; hampered near 50m; lost a plate) at Sale 3yo F Mdn on February 13 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Morean with 57kg at $3.80. Capable of a better showing. Respect.

Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 9 (began awkwardly; held up near 400m; warning - barrier manners) at Moe 3yo+ Hcp (58) on February 20 over 1217m, 1.0 len behind Bush Christmas carrying 54kg at $12. Previously second-up slowly away and keen; came from midfield; 4th of 14 at Donald 3yo+ Mdn on September 12 over 1350m, 2.5 len behind Crystal Dynasty carrying 59.5kg at $15. Should progress from first-up run.

At debut, with blinkers first time; 6th of 10 (slowly away; raced wide without cover; tactics queried) at this track 3yo+ Mdn on February 10 over 1400m, 14 len behind Tobaysure carrying 59.5kg at $21. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Werribee 3yo+ Mdn on February 4 over 1400m, 4 len behind Shoot Ur Shot with 59.5kg at $21. Plenty to like about his prospects.

At debut, 5th of 11 at this track 3yo+ F&M Mdn on February 3 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Always On My Mind with 57.5kg at $6. That race experience to prove invaluable.

At only start last preparation 11th of 13 at Sale 3yo+ Mdn on October 6 over 1415m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Bring Me Flowers with 59.5kg at $201. Fitter but must improve sharply.

Unlikely to threaten.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old colt by Helmet out of Princess Regina. Trialled a while ago when out of the placings at Cranbourne over 990m September 13. Shouldn’t be far away.

Last start 2nd of 12 at Bendigo 3yo+ Mdn on February 6 over 1400m, long-neck behind Dutch Action carrying 57.5kg at $7. The run before that 7th of 12 at this track 3yo+ F&M Mdn on January 20 over 1400m, 3 len behind Fateela with 58kg at $10. Worth following up.

Last start 4th of 10 at Terang 4yo+ Mdn on February 21 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Danny's Sparkle carrying 57.5kg at $8.50. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign raced wide without cover; tenth of 12 at Mornington 3yo+ Mdn Plate September 9 over 2050m, 13 len behind Darwin's Theory carrying 57.5kg at $21. Previously first up; raced greenly and failed to respond to riding; seventh of 9 at Pakenham Synthetic F&M Mdn June 28 over 1200m, 8 len behind Atlantic Seas with 58kg at $201. Hard to recommend.

Previously second-up 9th of 15 at Flemington in the G2 Edward Manifold on October 2 over 1610m, slow going 7 len behind Elusive Express carrying 56kg at $26. One of the chances.

Previously first up; fifth of 7 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm58) March 18 over 2150m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Silicon Valley with 73kg at $15. This looks too tough.
