Donald Race 1 - Donald & District Community Bank Mdn Plate
GRAND MILLESIME (5) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest beaten 2 lengths over 1200m at Mornington. Was heavily backed and has the blinkers applied. In a top metro stable and a bold showing is anticipated. LIGHT FILLED (6) has also started twice, beaten a whisker at Ballarat first up before a plainer effort there following (vet cleared). Has the tongue te applied today and she can get back on track with Bates sticking. QUEEN OF THE SURF (8) peaks and made up good ground placing over 1400m at Warrnambool. Will be rock-hard fit and is one of the best hopes. MEASURE OF TIME (2) debuts for the Walker yard and impressed his latest jumpout. Has a low barrier and Meech, and is bred to be good. SHEFFLIN (3) has also been well prepared for his debut and jumps from the paint with the blinkers on.
