Mornington Race 6 - No Fuss Event Hire Hcp
VESTAS (1) was disappointing first up behind star NZ filly Alabama Lass at Flemington but got back in an on-pace dominated race and simply couldn't get close. She'd jumped out well leading in and has the class to beat these if she can bounce back. THAMES (5) has placed in all three runs this time in. Beaten half a length by Zloties two back is good form for this and she tried hard again last time. If she can just settle closer, she'll be awfully hard to beat. MCKEYLA (2) is racing consistently and should be thereabouts. CHEWING GUM (6) could be an improver off a more genuine speed.

Second run back. First-up after three months 13th of 17 at Flemington in the LR Moomba Plate on March 29 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Alabama Lass with 55kg at $8.50.

Racing well. Last start 4th of 10 at Caulfield 3yo F Hcp on April 5 over 1200m, 3 len behind Soft Love carrying 56.5kg at $5.50.

Should be right there.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 7 at Pakenham Cl1 on March 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Unconquerable with 60kg at $2.70. Last start settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Caulfield 3yo F Hcp on April 5 over 1200m, 4 len behind Soft Love carrying 54kg at $8.50. Shows promise. Can figure with the right run.
