Flemington Race 2 - York Vobis Gold Plate
PRESTIGE OLE (1) was a tough winner at Ballarat at his second career start, backing up a nice debut. Out to 1400m now suits ideally and he'll take beating again. POLISH PLAYGIRL (7) debuted in the G3 Magic Night Stakes and wasn't terrible, working through the line okay late. This is much easier and she can be a sharp improver. ZORB (2) worked home nicely on debut at Ballarat behind PRESTIGE OLE. Both should be suited to 1400m and ZORB can only improve off that. AMAZAKE (5) is a gelding by Maurice on debut for the Maher yard. Watch the betting. AYE VEE AITCH (3) next best.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, made ground from midfield; 4th of 13 at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 23 over 1100m, 2 len behind Eeteedee with 58kg at $51. Second-up favourite; won by a long-neck at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw March 7 over 1200m defeating Mind Battlefield carrying 58kg at $2.70. Shows good promise and will be tough to stop again.

Was well in the market at debut, ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 7 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Prestige Ole with 58kg at $5. Should take the next step today and is a major player.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old gelding by Maurice out of Diminish. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Caulfield Heath March 20. Market should provide the most accurate guide.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Grunt out of Tivoli Lass. Won a jump-out at Great Western on March 20. May need this.
