Dunkeld Race 3 - Finchetts Plumbing Mdn Plate
HIGHLIGHT REEL (11) is the danger if he can rebound from being beaten as favourite at Mildura; his St Arnaud placing two back reads well enough and he is third-up and ready to fire. OVERTHINKER (10) has also been readied steadily, with four trials and a close second at Horsham. Respecting for the Bobbin yard. CLASSY SASSY (6) just found one better fresh and Meech aboard is a huge positive, respecting. FROSTED AMBER (7) continues to race well and only has to hold her form to be right around the mark again.

Worked into the race at Naracoorte last start and finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths, with stewards noting he was held up near the 150m and had difficulty getting clear. His Hamilton debut in a Mdn was plain after racing keenly, but he is fitter third-up. Rough hope at best.

Makes his debut off a Mortlake trial win and draws barrier 3, so there is at least some readiness in the profile. He was a $16,000 yearling purchase and comes from a stable with limited recent debut evidence. Need to see a strong push.

Debuts from barrier 1 with a 3kg claim and has been given two trials, winning the latest at Horsham. That gives him a practical starting point for a first raceday appearance, but he was only a $600 purchase and the stable's small debut sample has not produced a placing. Still has to do it on race day.

Began slowly and raced wide without cover throughout on debut at Mortlake, yet still made ground to finish fourth, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. That effort had more merit than the bare result, and he should be wiser second-up. Open to improvement, but still has to lift sharply.

Resumed with a sound second at Mortlake, beaten a length and a half after settling just off the lead and working home evenly on soft ground. That was a clear improvement on her Ballarat Synthetic run, where she began awkwardly and was well held. Fitter now and Meech on, go close.

Has put two seconds together, most recently at Wangaratta when beaten just over two lengths after being held up from the 300m. The Manangatang run prior was also sound, beaten just under a length after travelling well. Her 1200m record is five placings from nine attempts, which underlines the consistency but also the winning knock. The long maiden record tempers confidence, but she maps as a solid place hope.

Debuts after four trials, with the latest a close second at Horsham, so she has had a steady grounding before race day. The $34,000 yearling purchase also comes from a family with winners such as White Hawk, White Cliffs and White Moon, giving her more substance than many first starters. Should be ready to run well.

Was disappointing as favourite at Mildura last start, finishing sixth and beaten five and a half lengths after jumping awkwardly and laying out. That came at a picnic meeting, so this is a stronger assignment, but his St Arnaud third two back showed enough when beaten just over two lengths at long odds. Third-up and capable of bouncing back.
