Mornington Race 3 - Sportsbet Race Replays Mdn Plate
Tough race made trickier by a host of first starters. Happy to stay with AREAAN (9) though, who turned in an eye-catching debut here. Drifted back off the wide draw but came home powerfully to finish a long neck off the winner. Can only be improved and expected to go close again. ULTRA BLUE (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1221m at Geelong. Fitter and is drawn for a soft run. Looks a leading player. CRUSADER KINGS (1) is a four-year-old on debut. By Dissident out of Scarlet Vanhara he has won three recent jump-outs. Big watch. SUGARFIRE (13) finished third last start, beaten 8 lengths at Hawkesbury over 1300m. Has ability and best figures stack up. With the claim looks right in this.

Four-year-old gelding by Dissident out of Scarlet Vanhara who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Has won all three recent jump-outs and looks primed for a big debut run.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 11 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw February 24 over 1000m, soft track; 17 len behind Fallen with 59kg at $9.50. On debut ran last of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw January 31 over 1200m, 8 len behind Raikoke carrying 58kg at $11. Not keen on what we have seen to date.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Merchant Navy out of Miss Ready. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1100m at Traralgon December 5. Trained on the course but others rate better and happy to risk without a significant market move.

Second-up. First start sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 9 at Ballarat Synthetic 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 28 over 1100m, 6 len behind Judicial carrying 58kg at $21. Returned from break 6th of 12 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on December 5 over 1221m, 3.5 len behind Stormy Grove with 58kg at $21. Drawn for a soft run and fitter again looks a leading player.

Most recently 5th of 11 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on December 14 over 1406m, 6 len behind Under The Hat carrying 57.5kg at $21. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 14 at Moe Mdn-Sw on December 6 over 1200m, 9 len behind Andiamo Rosso carrying 57.5kg at $81. Might struggle again.

Resumes after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Hawkesbury Mdn August 1 over 1300m, soft track; 8 len behind Dawn Service with 55kg at $15. Previously first up; second last of 8 at Kembla Grange 2yo Mdn-Sw July 18 over 1000m, 6 len behind Fortingall carrying 55kg at $8. Safely held last two but has ability and best figures stack up.

First-starter by I Am Invincible out of Metaphorical. Makes debut on home track and won recent jump-outs so keep a close eye on any market push.
