Werribee Race 4 - Scotchmans Hill Mdn Plate
TAUPE (10) has been showing plenty of natural speed in each of her 3 starts to date, and has only been caught late in her last couple of runs when finishing runner-up. She will find this an easier target, and has her chance to take them all the way this time. ZUBBA STORM (7) is a stablemate of the top pick who has been in similar good form. He can settle just behind the pace from a good gate, and if he is presented at the right time, then he can have the last say. BOURDETO (8) has won 2 trials last month, and is now ready for the races. She has a tricky gate, but Celine Gaudray, who was aboard for her last jumpout win, knows her well, and the pair merits healthy respect. Let the market moves be your guide. COSMIC GRACE (9) makes her debut after some sound jumpout performances, and DISCREET POINT (1) looks to have a future, and will be having his first run as a gelding. Each way value for each of those runs.

First starter by Rock Face out of Aperol. Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.
