Stawell Race 2 - Stawell Times News Mdn Plate
VEGAS DANCER (11) finished second over 1600m at Swan Hill when resuming from a spell, beaten a nose. Easily the best run of her career, so no reason to think she won't improve further from the gun draw. RUSCELLO (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at Pakenham. Has the class to take this out. GOTTACOOKACURRY (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when sixth in a 1411m contest at Seymour a month ago but gets blinkers here and can improve. SEA DANGER (4) was solid off a freshen last start at Donald and the rise in trip looks to suit again. Fitter now and is inching closer to his maiden victory.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on October 17 over 2000m, slow going 4 len behind Blue Ismay with 59.5kg at $11. Before that ran last of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 2000m, on a slow track; 73 len behind Dharam Shalaa with 59.5kg at $21. Freshened since good Pakenham run over 2000m and jumpouts suggest he can run well fresh.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 8th of 10 at Mortlake Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1300m, 10 len behind Pharoah's Glory carrying 59.5kg at $51.

At the latest run 4th of 10 at Penshurst Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1476m, 1.75 len behind Nevra Queen with 57.5kg at $26. The start before that 6th of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on November 11 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Eleanor Dumont carrying 57.5kg at $31. Rarely far away and low draw presents her the chance to do so again.

Second run back. First-up after nine months raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 14 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on November 23 over 1600m, nose behind Manhattan Mabs carrying 57.5kg at $20. Previously second-up 8th of 14 at Terang Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Star Ruler carrying 57kg at $14. Best run to date first-up and will be better over further but gets her chance from the inside alley.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 10 at Murtoa 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 4 over 1100m, 8 len behind Wintery with 56kg at $151. Second-up 8th of 12 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on November 25 over 1300m, 6 len behind Jumpinmycar with 56kg at $31. Hasn't got warm yet, but only lightly-raced maybe extra distance is what she needs.
