Kyneton Race 1 - Hygain Mdn Plate
FONDLED (5) boxed on to finish second last start over 1118m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Will be better for that outing and the low draw presents a big chance to go one better in what shapes as a weaker race. DIVINE EMPRESS (8) last appeared 2.5 weeks ago over 1006m at Sale when she finished fifth. This is nowhere as strong as that race and new trainer Jason Warren will no doubt have her primed for the stable debut. IL PATRIGNO (2) will find this easier than most starts to date and has jumped out OK. TOY MAKER (12) needs to lift on the debut run but will be better for that and strikes a race lacking depth, so she can sneak into the top four.

Second-up. First-up after five months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 10 over 1118m, 1.3 len behind Vega Blues with 57.5kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on August 19 over 1200m, nose behind Lexton with 57.5kg at $3. Good return and draws to go one better in a race with a long tail.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 10 over 1118m, 2.25 len behind Vega Blues carrying 57.5kg at $101. The start before that ran last of 9 at Hanging Rock Mdn-Sw on January 26 over 1000m, 17 len behind Himeno with 57.5kg at $71. Has been racing well. Rates highly and cannot be underestimated.

Second run back. Comes off a 60-day let-up. First-up after 10 months 8th of 10 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on December 29 over 1009m, 8 len behind Pacific Chill carrying 54.5kg at $101. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 11 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on December 14 2024 over 1406m, 3 len behind Under The Hat with 57.5kg at $51. Not too bad in a recent jumpout, but raceday form is not pretty.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign ran last of 14 at Sale 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 31 over 1210m, slow going 49 len behind Best Of The Best with 56kg at $26. When resuming last campaign ran last of 15 at Caulfield Vobis Showdown on March 15 over 1200m, 18 len behind Mcgaw carrying 56kg at $101. Fitter for a jump-out on February 17 at Pakenham when finished sixth. Beaten out of sight at only two runs and recent jumpouts haven't inspired much confidence.

She is resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw July 17 over 1400m, soft track; 9 len behind Taka Speed carrying 57.5kg at $51. On debut second last of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic F&M Mdn-Sw June 30 over 1000m, 7 len behind Idleonby carrying 58kg at $101. Need to see her do something more than what we've seen to date.

Last start got back early 7th of 11 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on February 8 over 1100m, 7 len behind Snappy Beau with 57.5kg at $31. The run before that second last of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1103m, 12 len behind Cosmic Grace carrying 57.5kg at $21. Needs to lift and draw makes that tough.
