Mauritius Race 3 - 7f Stakes
WARBIRD (4) boasts the strongest winning profile after a BM41 victory here, defeating Tsunami Warning, and has an impressive track record with three wins and two places from five starts at this distance. While she rises to BM46, she drops from 60.00kg to 58.0kg and carries the most reliable recent form. NATIONAL AWARD (3) poses a serious threat, being second in both runs this campaign and placing six times in twelve months. He has one win and four places from five starts at this track, but his tendency to settle for second keeps him as a clear second choice. MAURITIUS KESTREL (1) was a beaten favourite last time but has a solid BM82 fifth at Kenilworth, making him capable of claiming a minor spot. AMPERSAND (2) drops in class and has won at 1400m, but two lackluster 990m runs prior make him more a rough hope than a strong contender.

Resumed with a second in BM51 grade at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Grand Bay after starting a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The start prior at Kenilworth was a solid BM82 fifth, again beaten just over two lengths, so the form has depth. He rises in weight and his 1400m record is more about placings than wins, but from barrier one he should get every chance to stay in the minor money.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing sixth over 990m at this track, beaten just under six lengths by That'Ll B The Day when unwanted in the market. He had also been safely held at the same trip the run prior. The class drop and previous 1400m win offer some support, but one placing from six at this track and distance leaves him with a fair bit to turn around.

Has put two seconds together this campaign, most recently beaten a length and a half by My Archangel at this track after sitting near the top of betting. He was beaten just over half a length by New World the run prior, so the consistency is hard to knock. One win and four places from five starts at this track and distance reads strongly, though he keeps presenting as a place-first profile.

Resumes after a three-month freshening following a BM41 win at this track, scoring by just over half a length from Tsunami Warning. That came after a third in the same grade behind My Archangel, and her broader profile is compelling: four wins and five places from 13 starts overall, with three wins and two places from five at this track and distance. The class rise is noted, but the weight relief and proven course record make her the one to beat.

Back from a three-month break after finishing fifth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Paved With Gold at long odds. His earlier seventh was much weaker, beaten over 11 lengths behind Siriano, and the longer-term pattern is light: unplaced in all three starts in the past 12 months. With no placing from three attempts at this track and distance, he has to find sharper form.
