Yarra Valley Race 1 - Coopersmith Group Mdn Plate
First-starter WATCH CAPITAL (7) is an interesting runner, though. Won a Bendigo jumpout in January and earlier this month looked sharp in comfortable on-pace trial win at Colac and is drawn to advantage in the inside alley. You'd think he'd break the maiden early in his career. EVIL LOVER (11) hasn't drawn quite so well, but is a reliable performer who can expected to be amongst the money. ILOVEDIAMONDS (9) has run well at two starts to date when hard in the market and will be better for those outings. ANTICIPATION (10) did nothing last preparation in NSW but has to be respected in her return.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation ninth of 14 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw July 6 over 1170m, soft track; 6 len behind Rah Rah Rasputin with 59.5kg at $26. When resuming last campaign fourth of 10 at Tatura Mdn-Sw May 23 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Beaunified with 59.5kg at $21. Might need a run or two.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation third of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw October 26 over 1009m, soft track; 2 len behind Legendary Diva with 59.5kg at $7.50. When resuming last campaign fifth of 14 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw October 14 over 1000m, 3 len behind Harmonett carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Has figured in the placings when fresh in the past but seems a bit out of his depth.

Mitchell Freedman trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut and was purchased for AUD $ 110,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Inside barrier will assist chances. Looked sharp in a recent on-pace trial win.

Most recently 2nd of 7 at Holbrook Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 800m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Majestic Ines carrying 55kg at $4.20. Before that got back early second last in a small field at Tumut Mdn-Sw on February 8 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Jessie Doll with 57kg at $12. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on January 16 over 1000m, 5 len behind Scillato with 57.5kg at $3.60. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at Wangaratta 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1000m, long-neck behind Boudica Warrior carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. Coming along nicely and can measure up.

At the latest run 5th of 11 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Rocket Boosters carrying 56kg at $6.50. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Sponge Bob carrying 53kg at $2.80. Encouraging effort last start. Nicely placed and expected to be in the finish.

Second-up. First start ran last of 10 at Mornington 2yo F Hcp on June 10 over 1200m, slow going 14 len behind Benagil carrying 57kg at $26. Went for a spell before returning ran last of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo F Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1000m, 7 len behind Magna Mak with 57kg at $61. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
