Yarra Valley Race 6 - Bet365 (Bm64)
BANCORY BAY (2) was thereabouts last time but in a tougher race at Sandown Hillside. Was a winner there the start prior and is well up to this. Hard to fault the recent form of QUEEN BEIRA (6) who has won here at her last two outing. This is tougher but in career best form. SUPER SOLAR (7) is better than last start and would be right in this on best figures. FLASHBANG (3) has been about the mark in recent runs, the latest offering a fourth over 1462m at Kilmore where he had excuses. Looms as a genuine threat on best.

Useful type. Most recently 6th of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm64 on March 5 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Phenom with 60.5kg at $5.50. The start before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm64 February 26 over 1500m defeating Rapid Cheval with 58kg at $6.50. This easier and sure to be tough to beat from an inside alley.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign ninth of 11 at Moonee Valley Bm64 November 29 over 2500m, 6 len behind You Betcha Woo with 59kg at $51. When resuming last campaign fourth of 12 at Seymour Bm58 July 22 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Moscow Red carrying 61.5kg at $19. Might be better off following this outing.

Useful type. Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at this track Bm58 February 22 over 1500m defeating Cosmic Coco carrying 59kg at $4.60. Before that won by 1.3 len at this track 0 - 58 February 8 over 1514m defeating Thin Red Line carrying 57.5kg at $7. Deeper field here but unbeaten at course and looks a leading player.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Kyneton Bm64 on March 20 over 1469m, slow going 9 len behind Express Guard with 54kg at $71. The race before that 9th of 12 at Colac 0 - 58 on March 2 over 1208m, 8 len behind Sunburnt carrying 58kg at $151. Likely to go around at long odds again.
