Penola Race 2 - Digiorgio Family Wines Mdn Plate
FOX MAN (4) showed good intent again last start at Terang last start, leading into the straight before fading late. Has been freshened with seven weeks but has kept the legs ticking over with a dominant trial win in-between. Will burn across early from the wide draw and prove tough to reel in. HUBRISTIC (10) makes her stable debut off the break. Showed positive signs in two runs over the border, starting favourite before the break when third at Seymour. Draws to get every chance and has the right profile to fire fresh. Expecting a forward run. BARBADOS NINJA (9) makes her stable debut for John Macmillan after narrowly missing at Canberra on debut last campaign. Trialled well at Strathalbyn and looks ready to launch with a bold fresh run. IRLANDAIS (3) also return. Not sure what his best trip is, so expect him to improve off whatever he does. THE SECRET BLEND (7) next best.

Third-up today. Resuming faded in the straight 6th of 9 at Mt Gambier 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 906m, slow going 7 len behind Pentonville Road carrying 58kg at $61. Second-up 3rd of 10 at Mt Gambier 2yo+ Mdn Hcp on May 25 over 900m, slow going 4.5 len behind The Kill Club carrying 52.5kg at $31. Strips fitter and looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 49-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Asmita with 59kg at $1.95. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on April 2 over 1000m, 2 len behind Jahangir with 59kg at $9. Up in trip and is worth some thought.
