Mornington Race 1 - Peninsula Kubota Mdn Plate
STAR JE TAIME (11) was good when third to Tanabata at Kyneton, beaten just under a length on soft ground after being held up. To a mile should suit now given her breeding. Looks well placed in a race weakened by scratchings. AMBITION IN BLOOM (6) was slow away and still fourth on debut at Kilmore so that effort had merit. Has scope to improve and that could see her as a danger. KUHEYLAN (3) went much better at Moe last start, finishing third and beaten a length after settling back. Could be ready to put it together now. FLYING RICHES (1) will be fitter for recent racing so could be ready to show more.

Had no obvious excuse when ninth at Bairnsdale last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling back and only working home fairly. The move from country grade into a harder meeting asks more, though her Pakenham Synthetic fifth prior was better when she charged home from the rear and was beaten just under four lengths. Her Pakenham run gives some minor hope, but she profiles more as a place chance.

Went much better at Moe last start, finishing third and beaten a length after settling back before being steadied near the 400m. That was country company and this is harder, while her previous run at Kyneton was plain when tenth in a Mdn and beaten nine and a half lengths. Can progress again.

Began awkwardly and made limited ground when sixth at Echuca last start, beaten just under five lengths after starting an outside chance in the betting. She was at big odds and safely held at Kilmore the run prior, with only late traffic adding some context. Place at best.

Shaped fairly on debut at Kilmore, finishing fourth and beaten three and a half lengths after being slow to begin and laying out around the home turn. She was near the top of an open market, so there was some expectation, and second-up improvement is possible from a $40,000 yearling purchase. Better now and up in trip should suit.

Has been well held in both starts, finishing ninth in a Bendigo Mdn last start when beaten nine and a half lengths after settling back and making no impression. Her debut at Cranbourne was even harder to recommend, finishing last and beaten over 16 lengths after a slow beginning. Hasn't shown enough.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a debut ninth at Ballarat, where she began slowly, conceded a big start and was beaten just over four lengths. The margin was not disastrous, and the Moody-Coleman yard can improve one with experience, but she has not raced around 1600m before. Would prefer to see again.

Closed off strongly for third at Kyneton last start, beaten just under a length on soft ground after being held up from the 300m and again near the 1000m. Her Geelong fifth prior in a F Mdn was less convincing after racing wide throughout, but that excuse is relevant. Heading the right way and D Lane on is a good lead.
