Ararat Race 1 - Ararat Ag, Horse & Pet Mdn Plate
CHILLI REAPER (11) did enough in a handy on debut then showed rapid improvement second time out, when beaten just 3/4 of a length. With the benefit of those runs, and what looks a long tail to this race, she gets the chance to go one better despite the ordinary draw. IMMORTAL JOY (12) has had her fair share of chances, but a lot of them have been in tougher races than this, and she should get every chance from the draw. INFER (3) disappointed last time out, but only needs to repeat the first-up run to be a trifecta player again. RAMBITION (5) will be better for the first-up run and got into the placings second-up in the debut campaign. KILMER (4) looks the best of the first-starters and can figure from the low draw after a couple of handy trials.

Third race start. First start sat on the pace before fading second last of 10 at Seymour 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 22 over 1300m, on a wet track; 29 len behind Warparty with 56.5kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on April 27 over 1000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind You're Two Vain carrying 59kg at $61. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 8 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Asmita carrying 59.5kg at $18. Second run from a spell 7th of 13 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on April 27 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Grand Intention with 59.5kg at $61. Should be at peak fitness now and is among the leading chances.

Gelding by Frosted on debut. Ran 3rd in a trial at Bendigo over 1000m on April 28. Nothing wrong with two trials ahead of this and blinkers on for debut is a sign of intent.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 13 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Vores with 59.5kg at $51. The run before that got back early 9th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1100m, 7 len behind Smashing Action with 58kg at $61. Chance to feature with the right run, which he might get from the middle alley.
