Randwick-Kensington Race 2 - Tab Mdn Plate
This looks a hot maiden. TUSCANY (12) is the one to watch having been heavily backed to start $2.50 on debut in the G3 Breeders Plate at Randwick last time in. He was okay there in a bunched finish before missing the Autumn. Just the one trial leading in here but clearly has ability and must respect the top yard. GRAND PRAIRIE (4) also resumes for his second campaign. He's a very well-bred colt and both runs last time in were good in strong company. He's won his latest trial and can improve this time in. MELANITE (6) hit the line strongly at Hawkesbury over 1000m first up off the back of a nice trial. Fitter for that and should take some beating. NINJA (7) is a gelding by Farnan who has been heavily supported in early betting on debut for the Michael Freedman yard. He's trialled very nicely and there's been winning form out of that last heat. No shock to see him go close.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Readied for this with a dominant trial win, scoring by 3.24 lengths at Hawkesbury over 1000m on July 7. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks smart.

Second run back. First-up after five months took up a position near the tail 2nd of 12 at Hawkesbury 2yo Mdn on July 3 over 1000m, in the wet; head behind Gambler carrying 58kg at $4. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Randwick Pierro on February 15 over 1100m, 7 len behind Shaggy with 56kg at $101. Fitter and hard to hold out.

Gelding by Farnan making his first race start. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Won a Randwick trial over 1050m on June 27. Looks smart, keep safe.

On debut. Two-year-old colt by Zoustar out of Dear Demi purchased for AUD $ 360,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Strawberry Hill Stud Unreserved Dispersal Sale). At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 900m at Rosehill July 4. Well held in recent trials so prefer to see.

Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Randwick 2yo Hcp December 28 over 1100m, soft track; 8 len behind Gallo Nero with 55.5kg at $31. On debut ran last of 10 at Caulfield in the LR M Cooper November 30 over 1000m, soft track; 15 len behind Palm Angel with 58kg at $6. Could be an improver.
