Penola Race 4 - Adrian Thomas Industrial Mdn Plate
PETIT EAGLE (8) finished third at Balaklava two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1600m at Balaklava, finishing seventh. Better placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. GIDDY UP BANKCHECK (4) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Craig Stewart yard. Finished off last campaign with a fifth at Wodonga three months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Can return with a bold run. MEET THE PRINCE (11) faces the starter for the first time and has shown enough in his jumpouts to suggest he can make his presence felt. Draws well and should be sharp away with the blinkers applied. COCOA CHARM (9) never looked comfortable over the 900m at Mt Gambier but can improve quickly in her second run.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 13 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw August 13 over 1200m, soft track; 24 len behind More Than Hope carrying 58kg at $101. On debut second last of 14 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 30 over 1050m, on heavy track; 18 len behind Bonavena with 57.5kg at $26. Prefer to see how he returns.

At the latest run second last of 10 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1860m, 5.5 len behind Future Frankie carrying 59.5kg at $101. The start before that second last of 7 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 2070m, 10 len behind Milady carrying 58kg at $10. Can't see him troubling these.

Resuming after a three months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Wodonga Mdn-Sw January 4 over 2050m, 5.5 len behind Aggressive with 58kg at $9.50. On debut fifth of 9 at Traralgon Mdn-Sw November 30 over 1430m, in the wet; 8 len behind The Mean Fiddler carrying 58kg at $7. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

Gelding by Royal Meeting on debut. Finished sixth in a Caulfield Heath trial over 1000m on March 26. Fitter for recent jumpouts and should be sharp away with the blinkers on.
