Balaklava Race 4 - Clare Valley Toyota Mdn Plate
SILENT LEGACY (7) has hit the line nicely in his two runs back and should be hitting his straps now third-up. The 1400m looks perfect for him and looks clearly the one to beat. WINNING ALL ROUND (8) is a Zousain gelding on debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Has come along nicely in her two trials and is drawn favourably. Can make a bright start. ALPINE LEE (10) got too far back here when resuming but warmed up nicely late. Better for that and should relish the extra 200m from a kinder draw. Can give this a big shake. Similar story for PAGANINI (3) who finished alongside ALPINE LEE. Has had more chances than AL, so that's the slight lean.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation 9th of 11 at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn-Hcp on December 14 over 1300m, 15 len behind French Love with 54kg at $12. First up last campaign second last of 8 at Hawkesbury 3yo Mdn on March 18 2025 over 1300m, 7 len behind Super Nui with 59kg at $31. Finished fifth in a Morphettville Parks trial over 1000m on April 2. Might be better off following this run.

Second-up. First-up after four months 6th of 12 at this track 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 1 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Leliyn with 58kg at $14. Previously second-up 5th of 14 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 28 over 1350m, 2 len behind Tyga Taste with 58kg at $7.50. Is a definite threat in this line-up.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Astern out of Mystic Spirit. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Strathalbyn March 26. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

First starter by Zousain out of Pravana purchased for AUD $ 145,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Horses In Training Sale). Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Placed in his latest trial so a bold showing is likely.
