Ballarat Race 3 - Tobin Brothers Funerals Mdn Plate
Siding with the unraced WAZING (11), a filly by Starspangledbanner on debut for the Jerome Hunter yard. She's had plenty of trial/jumpout experience, winning a heat in December then just shaded after showing speed in her latest. She draws for every hope and the race brigade haven't shown all that much. CARPE ASTRA (8) has shown some ability in three runs to date, no match for an impressive winner at Murray Bridge last time but holding down second. She can measure up. VADELLE (5) looks poised for a forward showing on debut having placed in a couple of jumpouts this time in work. The booking of Lane is a big push for his chances and he can run a bold race. TABLE TWENTYEIGHT (4) resumes here and will be fitter for a recent jumpout. Worth including.

Should take catching.
