Mornington Race 1 - Sportsbet Jockey Watch Mdn Plate
BALMORAL CASTLE (2) started favourite but couldn't recover from early interference and finished fourth when resuming over 1100m at Wyong last start. Clocked in two lengths behind the promising Plaintiff when second-up last prep. Good enough to fully test this field. BEAU STRADA (3) registered her sixth minor placing from eight starts last time out over this trip at Sale. Tricky draw but should run her usual honest race. PASIFAE (10) ran a better race at Sale last weekend and is in the mix on a seven-day back-up. MAJESTIC CHOICE (8) showed enough in her debut campaign to suggest she'll win races. Fitter for a couple of hit outs coming in and she won't be far away.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after four months 4th of 8 at Wyong Super Mdn on April 4 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Take Flight carrying 56kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Rosehill F&M Mdn-Sw on November 12 over 1200m, 2 len behind Plaintiff carrying 56.5kg at $5. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

She is resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 11 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw November 28 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Homeward carrying 56kg at $3.60. On debut fourth of 7 at Wangaratta 3yo Mdn-Sw October 27 over 1100m, soft track; 3.5 len behind I'mateez with 56kg at $4.20. Can make an impression on her return.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Sale Mdn-Sw on May 3 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind So You Excel with 57.5kg at $6. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Temu Tilly carrying 57kg at $20. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Slowly putting things together and is among the chances.
