Yarra Valley Race 4 - Manhari Mdn Plate
Plenty of these looking to improve out in journey now. One of those in particular is CHEERS (6) who is fitter for two runs back. Safely held at both but worth noting he did improve sharply last time in when out in journey. Gets chance. DEELER (1) is close to a win and looks hardest to beat. Has been runner-up last two, the latest here at the trip, and wouldn't have to improve much to break through. ONESTA (10) is in first campaign and improve sharply at second outing when to a mile. The extra trip looks perfect now. LALOLI (9) made debit over the mile and did enough, finishing four lengths from the winner. Sure to improve and another aided by the extra ground.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming second last of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1400m, 7 len behind Clavel with 59kg at $14. Second-up failed to make an impression; second last of 9 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on March 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Royal Dispatch carrying 59kg at $3.60. Rock hard fit now and is a decent chance to break the ice.
