Mudgee Race 2 - Belinda Holden Memorial (Bm66)
STARANE (5) comes here in peak form and has a good record over this track and trip. Sat on the good speed when a fighting fourth over 1100m at Dubbo. Back in grade and goes close today. STRATIFIED (3) trained locally and stable in form. Won well two-back, before disappointing when eleventh over 1100m at Bathurst. Can hold a position from the wide draw and expected to bounce back. AWAYGOESTHEBUNNY (1) exciting gelding resuming. Undefeated at this track and returned good figures when a smart winner over 1400m at Rosehill in Highway grade last September. Looked ready when winning a recent 1000m trial at Scone. Gets his chance with the claim. ROUGE MOULIN (4) massive win first-up at Dubbo and can go on with the job now in this harder contest.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign by 0.5 len Rosehill Highway-C3 September 14 over 1400m defeating Agirlsbestfriend with 54kg at $8.50. Previously first up; eighth of 15 at Rosehill Highway-C3 August 17 over 1300m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Intervarsity carrying 54kg at $61. Classy gelding who must be kept safe with the claim.

Useful gelding. Most recently struggled in the run home; second last of 12 at Bathurst Bm66 on January 31 over 1100m, 6 len behind Capital Mac carrying 59kg at $6.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at Gilgandra Cl2 January 5 over 1200m defeating Charlie Magic carrying 58.5kg at $5. Worth forgiving and can turn things around.
