Orange Race 1 - Orange Motor Group Mdn Hcp
RUBYREGIS (5) resumes as the top selection despite two plain race starts, with the case built around a new campaign, a recent Rosehill trial and the 1.5kg claim for Jacob Stiff. Her Pakenham Synthetic run before the break was poor at big odds, but this is a more suitable point to reset in a modest Mdn and she gets the nod on upside. BON BATAN (6) has been costly to trust as an 11-start maiden, yet he had genuine cover-ground excuses at Port Macquarie, drops from 59kg to 56.5kg and has placed on good tracks. In the mix. CHECKOUT CHICK (7) draws barrier 1, gets a 2kg claim and brings enough 1300m placing form to make her a live danger. REINE DE CRISTAL (10) eases back from provincial company after two Kembla Grange runs and can improve enough to be a place hope in this easier assignment.

Made little impression on debut at Dubbo when ninth behind Beyond Perfection, beaten over 11 lengths after tracking the speed and fading right out. He was at long odds there and now steps to a trip he has not tried before. May improve now with race experience on board.

Returns from a three-month break with a Rosehill trial two weeks ago and a 1.5kg claim, so there are enough reset factors to treat her as a serious player in this Mdn. Her Pakenham Synthetic run before the spell was plain, finishing second last behind Askmumaskdad at big odds, and the Albury debut was also well held. Race form is thin, but this looks a winnable reset.

Ran below market expectations only in the sense he was unwanted at Port Macquarie, finishing second last behind Bobbiwaa, but he did cover ground and the stewards noted he raced wide in the middle stages. He now drops from 59kg to 56.5kg and has placed at around this trip before, although the 11-start maiden record remains the concern. Long-time maiden, but this is within reach.

Draws barrier 1 and gets a 2kg claim after carrying 65kg when fourth at Harden, beaten just over five lengths after being hampered near the 200m. She was also wide throughout at Bathurst the run prior, so the recent form has more context than the margins suggest. Strong chance if she gets clear room.

Improved into third at Dubbo last start behind Zous Apollo, beaten just under two lengths, and that effort had merit after she raced wide throughout. Her previous Coonabarabran run was poor at long odds, but she has placed three times from nine starts and gets Clayton Gallagher aboard. Place claims with Clayton Gallagher taking over.

Was well beaten on debut at Goulburn, finishing last behind Thepowerofzen by over 16 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. She backs up quickly and had trialled last month before that first start, including a Queanbeyan second, but race-day evidence has to take priority. Trial background is noted, but she has plenty to prove.

Eases back from provincial company after finishing last at Kembla Grange behind Mr Tucci, beaten six and a half lengths on soft ground after leading and weakening. The start prior was also plain behind Regal, though she did begin awkwardly and became unbalanced. Form is plain, but this gives her a place chance.
