Tatura Race 1 - Hygain Mdn Plate
SMART AND MIGHTY (1) comes here third-up after getting into what ended up being a strong race here 22 days ago. His runs have been spaced throughout his career thus far and he has shown talent. Kennedy claims 3kg today and with the aid of an inside draw, he can land the knockout blow. FAERIE (5) led at Mornington over 1200m last start and stuck on well, finishing only 1.7L off the winner. This looks an easier race on paper and McDougall is a good booking. Third-up now and looks set to peak in this suitable assignment. POISED (8) didn't fire a shot first-up at Pakenham and has been back to the jumpouts since where she got the job done. This looks an easer race and if she can get across from the draw, she'll be in this for a long way. CARIBBEAN VILLA (13) is better than we saw on debut and can improve sharply.

Third-up today. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Albury Mdn-Sw on October 25 over 900m, nose behind Bargino carrying 59kg at $2.15. Second run from a spell 5th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1000m, 5 len behind Earth's Abundance carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. Well-placed and a big chance to atone.

Third-up today. Resuming second last in a small field at Echuca Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Distinctly Summer carrying 57.5kg at $3.40.

Second-up. First-up after five months 10th of 12 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on November 23 over 975m, 8 len behind Redemption Time with 56kg at $71. Previously second-up second last of 8 at Ballarat Synthetic 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 17 over 1200m, 12 len behind Lofty Thoughts with 56kg at $21. Expect she'll find this too tough.

At debut, settled back and ran on when 7th of 14 at Donald Mdn-Sw on December 2 over 1000m, slow going 7 len behind Habenaria carrying 58kg at $21. Jumped out well prior to his debut however and he can improve sharply with that experience under his belt.
