Flemington Race 4 - Kirin Ichiban Trophy (Bm84)
SNEAKY SUNRISE (3) proved far too strong for AHHA AHHA (9) when they met at Caulfield last time out, SNEAKY SUNRISE given a good ride there to track the pace but she came right away to score convincingly. She sets up very well here and can repeat the dose. AHHA AHHA seemed hardly interested back in the field there before warming up very late to grab second in a tight go. If she can get involved earlier and hold a spot she can turn the tables. MOMETZ (5) has won two on the bounce over a mile, getting the job done by a nose last time. He'll concede a start again but has claims. ASTRAL FLAME (8) bounced back to form with a solid win in BM70 company at Cranbourne and drops 4.5kg off that. Expect she takes catching. HOT DIGITY BOOM (7) is off a tidy win at 1400m - this trip is some risk but he maps for every chance.

Racing well recently. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Caulfield Bm84 February 7 over 1600m defeating Ahha Ahha carrying 53.5kg at $4.60. The start before that 2nd of 9 at this track Bm84 on January 10 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Welcometotheshow carrying 56.5kg at $6. In great form and is well placed to win again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a nose at Caulfield Heath Bm74 February 18 over 1600m defeating Orovero with 56kg at $12. Before that settled well back; won by a long-neck at Pakenham Bm70 January 29 over 1600m defeating Otago carrying 58kg at $5. Hard to hold out once more.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a head at Cranbourne Bm74 February 13 over 1400m defeating Bons To Riches carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Geelong Bm66 on January 26 over 1340m, 3 len behind Asakura carrying 60kg at $3.30. Takes catching again.

Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Cranbourne Bm70 February 13 over 1600m defeating Time Allowed carrying 58.5kg at $3.10.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Caulfield Bm84 on February 7 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Sneaky Sunrise carrying 54kg at $2.50. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Geelong F&M Bm74 on January 3 over 1400m, nose behind Davida with 59kg at $3. Becoming frustrating but the ability is there.
