Warrnambool Race 4 - Tom Taylor Building Mdn Plate
GWEN'S GIRL (9) narrowly on top. Two runs back this time in have been good, run down late at Dunkeld fresh and then again in a handy maiden at Cranbourne when beaten a long neck. Should be at peak fitness now and Meech should rate the filly perfectly. MEET ME HALFWAY (10) is the clear danger. She debuted over 975m at Swan Hill and only went down by a long neck after showing early speed. She's been given time since then and should only improve. LEONA (6) is a mare by Trapeze Artist on debut for the Jusufovic stable. She's won a jumpout leading in and can measure right up. LOTS OF TORQUE (7) resumes. She showed glimpses last time in and could show up fresh. BLUES JAZZ (5) is on debut and has less convictions than a few of the others.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 5th of 8 at Wycheproof Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1050m, 5.5 len behind Durham Legacy with 58kg at $8.50. Last start didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 9 at Horsham 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 21 over 1100m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Dynamite Dancer with 58kg at $51. Hasn't shown enough.

At the latest run failed to make an impression; second last of 9 at Terang 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 1200m, 15 len behind Asakura carrying 58kg at $201. The start before that second last of 9 at Horsham 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 21 over 1100m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Dynamite Dancer with 58kg at $51. Happy to overlook.

First start. By first season sire Trapeze Artist out of Valley Sweetheart. Purchased for AUD $ 155,000 (Magic Millions 2022 Gold Coast National Weanling Sale). Won a Cranbourne jump-out on January 5. Wary, keep safe if there's support.

At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on November 23 over 975m, long-neck behind Redemption Time with 56kg at $7. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and looks one of the main contenders.
