Yarra Valley Race 8 - Jim's Group (Bm58)
Big field over the dash but staying with the honest UNDER MY THUMB (6) who has a win and four minors from five starts. Finally off the mark last time with an overdue maiden win at Cranbourne. Off the inside will ride the speed and with any luck in the stretch will have something to offer. ELENA MONTERO (7) was a close-up fourth last time in tougher at Sandown. Will need a good steer from out wide but best figures stack right up. VANISHING (10) is a former Waller mare stepping out for the new barn and has been fitted with three hit-outs. Goes well fresh and wouldn't surprise to see her feature. SHEEZA TORONADO (11) is a last start winner who will be close to the action throughout and can measure up again.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on January 30 over 1000m, neck behind Motcombs with 57.5kg at $1.60. Last start favourite; won by 2 len at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw March 14 over 1000m defeating Montjuic Magic with 57.5kg at $2.40. Off the mark with strong maiden win and looks hard to beat.

Last start did the work up front then tired 5th of 7 at Moonee Valley Bm64 on March 7 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Merrigold with 57kg at $5. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 on February 19 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Dollar Chaser with 57kg at $7.50. Well placed. This easier and despite the tricky gate is sure to go close.

Second run back. First-up after three months did the work up front then tired 5th of 7 at Cranbourne Bm64 on March 14 over 1000m, 6 len behind Honor Galore carrying 56.5kg at $11. Previously second-up won by a neck at Bairnsdale Bm58 October 14 over 1000m defeating Airclash with 60kg at $6.50. Has won second up before and can improve sharply.

Useful type. Most recently won by 0.8 len at Geelong 0 - 58 March 15 over 1100m defeating Zoomed carrying 56.5kg at $6. The race before that sat on the pace before fading 11th of 13 at Kyneton F&M Bm58 on February 27 over 1203m, 6 len behind Olivia's Scandal carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
