Ararat Race 1 - Harvey Norman Ararat 3YO Maiden Plate
FIERCE DREAMS (8) is fitter for two runs from a spell. Finished 1.4 lengths away in third over 1200m at Colac a month ago, and missed a nose there first-up. Has an inside barrier and is a big chance to break through. MISS ELLANEOUS (11) looked a run short at Pakenham first-up and will appreciate the step up in trip. Showed plenty early and is likely to deliver more this preparation. Coffey sticks aboard, and he draws to advantage in easier company. TROUBLE'N PARADISE (5) debuts for a top metro stable. He's been sharp in his jumpouts, and John Allen sticks from the latest. Enjoying a soft run and a bold effort is likely. NO NO NO NO NO (4) and DEEPSEEK (2) are also on debut and create interest. They've both been well-educated and have in-form riders engaged.
