Cranbourne Race 4 - John Duff & Co Mdn Plate
Good little maiden. YOUMZAA (12) was in the market and ran a very good race on debut at Bendigo, setting up a strong speed and doing well to hold second. The winner there is talented and has won a G3 race nicely since, with natural upside she'll be very hard to run down. GHANA'S AKAN (9) also brings Over The Bridge form having run behind her in said G3 race. She's won of the better maidens going around and provided she's got a bit more left in the tank she'll go close. VALAROSO (8) ran a good race fresh when just edged out having contested a million dollar race on debut. He should come on from that and take some beating. SEE THREE PEE OH (6) is a gelding by Cosmic Force on debut for the Stokes yard who can run well off a nice trial win. OPTIMUS (15) showed some ability in two runs last time in and looks an improver.

Most recently got back early 8th of 11 in the G3 Scarborough Stakes at Caulfield on September 27 over 1200m, 4 len behind Over The Bridge with 56kg at $9. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Pretty Baby with 56kg at $3.90. Very well suited back in grade and can get the job done.

Third race start. First start did the work up front then tired 5th of 12 in a 2yo Hcp at Sandown-Hillside on March 11 over 1000m, 4 len behind Buggsy carrying 59kg at $26. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 10 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on September 18 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Gas Station Rose carrying 58kg at $19. Risking.
