Mornington Race 5 - The Kevin Paten (Bm64)

CANDLE IN THE DARK (3) started favourite on debut at Yarra Valley and ran on nicely from midfield to score over this distance. She looks an improving type who will be better for that experience and can measure up quickly. NURSERY CHIME (1) loves finding one or two better, resuming with her 13th career minor placing at Cranbourne over 1400m, beaten a long neck. She's got good early speed and should kick up to hold the top from the inside gate. Takes catching. CHOSEN LEGEND (4) won her maiden narrowly two back at Caulfield Heath, close up again there in this grade last time. She draws well and can figure. QUEEN BEIRA (6) doesn't win out of turn but has been racing well and has claims. APPPLEBY (2) next best.

Second run back. First-up after nine months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Cranbourne Bm64 on December 20 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Lovin' Laughs with 60kg at $4.60. Previously second-up favourite; won by a head at this track F&M Bm58 December 1 2023 over 1500m on a soft track defeating Belluna with 61kg at $2.80. Rates highly here.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw December 20 over 1500m defeating Tikken carrying 56kg at $2.45. Looks smart, go close again.

Useful filly. Most recently 5th of 9 at Caulfield Heath Bm64 on December 18 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Capricorn Star with 56kg at $14. The run before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw December 4 over 1600m defeating Reach The Peak with 56kg at $13. Great chance to atone.

Second-up. First-up after 11 months got back early 8th of 10 at this track F&M Bm64 on December 27 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Gracie's Rain carrying 55.5kg at $26. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Kembla Grange Bm64 on August 26 2023 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Tags with 55kg at $61. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Last start 3rd of 12 at Horsham 0 - 58 on December 22 over 1400m, 5 len behind Captain Joolian with 51kg at $21. The run before that second last of 12 at Wangaratta Bm52 on December 7 over 1300m, 14 len behind Olivia's Scandal carrying 58kg at $5. Comes into this off a solid third over 1400m at Horsham last time but further improvement is required if she is to be competitive.
