Kyneton Race 2 - Shalaa @ Woodside Park Mdn Plate
Plenty of chances but sticking with CAFFETTIERA (8) after an eye-catching debut. Settled off pace and kept coming to finish third over 1140m at Geelong. Surely improved and expected to be finding the line strongly again. CASTELLITO (9) is a big danger on her debut effort. Kicked off in town as a juvenile and after getting back made late ground to finish fifth from the tail out wide. Tipped out again and returns after two jump-outs. Stable is going well and looks a huge chance in this. OLIVIA ROSE (5) is fitter for two runs in and has placed at both. Last time booted up from the inside and knuckled down well but found one better over 1240m at Geelong. Drawn well again and should be in the finish. ELSA OF ARENDELLE (10) was solid fresh then although 11th last time at Ballarat did go back to last from the outside draw and spotted a huge start but came home well. Much better draw this time. TUXEDO MISS (7) has placed at both runs this time in and is among the chances.

Mare by Astern facing the starter for the first time. Finished fourth in a Ballarat jump-out on September 24. Low draw and well educated but betting best guide.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign third of 11 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Attachments carrying 57kg at $4.40. When resuming last campaign second of 8 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw February 18 over 1115m, 6 len behind Shehungthemoon with 55.5kg at $13. Consistent without winning in first campaign and is not to be underestimated.

Three-year-old filly by leading sire Pierro out of Buzzards Bay who was bought for AUD $ 70,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Ben, Will & Jd Hayes has her ready for this with six recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Flemington over 800m on September 25. Well educated and has the assistance of an inside draw.
