Orange Race 2 - Aust National Field Days 23Rd-25Th October Mdn Plate
Tricky and the betting will be instructive. REAL BAKER (7) debuts for Bjorn Baker and the barn strikes at 32% at this venue. Was a big trial winner at Wyong and missed a nose at Rosehill the one after. Has an awkward gate but expect him to be good enough to manage. TOMCAT FLOWERS (3) resumed further improved beaten 2L at Goulburn and then was well bet again at Canberra and had excuses at the business end when he led. Fitter again and rates well. MILLY MOLLY MANDY (5) resumed and stuck on well when placing second behind a dominant winner over 1200m at Nowra. Showed good early speed and has more to give. Strips fitter and will be hard to beat in a suitable race. CAMILLA (4) can improve for the Snowden stable over the longer sprint. Finally draws an inside gate and Sherry rides for the first time. Archibald-trained HE'S GOT GRUNT (6) debuts and has trialled four times. Found a place the latest at Scone and he's likely to race well.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 2nd in a small field at Goulburn Mdn on September 12 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 2 len behind Forcefilly carrying 59.5kg at $2.80. Last start second last in a small field at Canberra Mdn on September 27 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Poker Flash with 61kg at $2.90. Certainly worth another chance.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after eight months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Nowra F&M Mdn-Sw on September 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Miss Fleetwood carrying 58kg at $6. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on February 12 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Island Dream carrying 56.5kg at $12. Fitter and worth following up.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Grunt out of Lady L'orange. Purchased for AUD $ 60,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Weanling Sale). Was second in a Scone barrier trial over 1100m October 1. Looks set for a good debut.

Dual acceptor. Gelding by Winning Rupert facing the starter for the first time. Runner-up in a Rosehill trial over 1030m on September 23. Expect a bold run and a market watch advised.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, second last of 10 at Dubbo Ctry Mdn-Sw on September 28 over 1000m, 10 len behind Jagerschnitzel carrying 55kg at $101. Doubt she will trouble these.
