Kyneton Race 1 - Carlton Draught Mdn Plate
CANTICLE (1) did not perform up to expectations when heavily backed on debut at Moe, and he was found to be mildly lame after that run. He dons the blinkers for the first time, and with a clean bill of health, he is set to make amends. On top for us. THE UNDERQUOTER (4) was put aside after a modest debut as a juvenile, and he has been a late scratching this season when down to resume last month. He has jumped out since then with no problems, and he is a top 4 hope fresh up at this level. TUZEMAK (9) looked all over the winner at Pakenham-synthetic last time out before being bloused late, finishing second by a short head. Hard to beat this time. TEEN TORQUE (8) will be peaking at the right time third up from a spell, and from a good draw, she is another with sound top 4 claims. SONDERA (7) ran an encouraging race fresh up when finishing fourth at Bendigo, and she will find this easier. Stick with her, but don't expect a fancy price this time.

Was at long odds at debut, ran second last of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 4 over 1300m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Divine Eruption with 58kg at $41. Other runners appeal more.

Resuming today after only having had one start and then had five months break. At debut last start eased back early on 5th of 7 in a 2yo Hcp at Randwick Kensington on May 13 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Tron Bolt with 56.5kg at $12. Had six recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial finished fourth in a Pakenham jump-out on October 6. Looks all set for a effective return.

Filly by The Autumn Sun on debut. Trialled on September 30 at Tatura over 1100m and finished sixth. Betting best guide.

First starter by Kermadec out of Restless Soul. Has a total of four trials prior to her debut today. Well held in recent trials so others are preferred.

Third race start. First start eased back early on 6th of 10 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Hawkesbury on May 14 over 1100m, slow going 3.5 len behind Dashing Splendour carrying 55kg at $7. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 4 over 1300m, slow going 2.25 len behind Divine Eruption with 56kg at $51. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on October 5 over 1400m, head behind Autumn Rainbow with 56kg at $6. Before that 6th of 12 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Caulfield Heath on September 16 over 1100m, 4 len behind Handee carrying 57kg at $12. Big chance with a repeat of the latest effort.
