Yarra Valley Race 2 - V&B Constructions Mdn Plate
DARTH INVADER (4) struck a hot race at The Valley on debut and there was probably no shame in the six-length margin behind Loving Gaby's daughter Just Like Gaby and Star Rapper, who won't be a maiden for long. HEAT OF THE NIGHT (9) found her way into the placings a couple of times in her debut prep, will be better for those experiences and has been jumping out well in preparation for the return. MADAM EXCELS (10) improved from the debut to second-up run and is presented with options from the draw. BRON (7) was dealt no favours at the barrier draw, coming up with 11, but should be ready to fire with two runs under the belt.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 21 over 1009m, 4.5 len behind Tadgh carrying 56kg at $4.20. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind Time Lapse carrying 56kg at $26. Capable of a strong showing.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Alabama Express out of Khatereh. At the most recent trial finished fourth at Flemington over 800m. Worth consideration.
