Stawell Race 2 - Ritchies Iga + Liquor Mdn Plate
There was plenty of anticipation around PRAVAHA (11) on debut - $5.50 into $3.40 - at Kilmore back in October and while she didn't have the clearest passage in the straight, she still raced greenly and like she would benefit from the outing. A couple of nice jumpouts since suggest she has, so expect her to have admirers again. WILD RUBY (9) has had plenty of chances and while she hasn't been able to get the job done in nine starts, she's placed five times and a repeat of any of those runs would be good enough to make her a key player in this. MAPLETON HILL (7) debuts on the home track and has not been knocked around in two jumpouts to date, the most recent when comfortably accounting for a rival here in BAROSSA VALLEY. KRASNOLUDEK (6) ran his best race yet last start when put on speed and while drawn out that looks his best chance to play a role here. BAROSSA VALLEY (3) has been gelded since the debut run and deserves another chance.

Third race start. First start couldn't go on with it; 7th of 10 at Wangaratta 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 13 2025 over 1400m, 6 len behind Showmara carrying 58kg at $3.90. Went for a break before returning 3rd in a small field at this track Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1300m, 7 len behind Join The Que carrying 59.5kg at $16. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond his reach.

At debut, 5th of 11 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1206m, 4.5 len behind Where's My Sock with 59.5kg at $13. Fair debut off some nice jumpouts, so might be ready to show something.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when ran last of 10 at Donald 2yo SW on May 3 over 1200m, 11 len behind Diamond Gust with 58kg at $9.50. Woeful on debut but gelded since, so worth another chance.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last of 7 at Mildura Mdn-Sw October 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Zentorno carrying 57kg at $11. On debut ninth of 12 at Echuca Mdn-Sw September 20 over 1300m, soft track; 11 len behind Davida with 57kg at $31. Did little in debut prep, but has changed hands since and was a nice Avoca trial winner.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 28 over 1208m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Bluey Merchant carrying 58kg at $15. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at Mt Gambier 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1211m, 1.1 len behind Drumlargen with 57kg at $15. Drawn to get the chance to repeat the good run two back.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1300m, long-neck behind Sistine Express with 58kg at $21. The start before that 5th of 10 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1300m, 8 len behind Abby's Crossword carrying 59kg at $6.50. Capable of building on that performance and he looks one of the main chances.

The run before that 2nd of 14 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1200m, head behind Here Comes Wozza carrying 57.5kg at $3.70. Consistent mare who is a definite threat over this longer trip.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, second last of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on March 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind I'm Foxing carrying 57.5kg at $51. Last start ran last of 11 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1312m, slow going 11 len behind Cool Savanna carrying 55.5kg at $91. Needs to lift, but gets blinkers and draws well.

On debut second last of 12 at Casterton 2yo+ Mdn-Sw June 8 over 1200m, in the wet; 8 len behind Tallapoosa with 57.5kg at $31. Not keen on what we have seen to date.

Second run back. First-up after eight months ran last of 10 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1300m, 11 len behind Abby's Crossword carrying 53kg at $9.50. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on August 12 over 1500m, slow going 24 len behind Sirius Legend carrying 55kg at $151. Prefer to see her find some form before recommending.
