Yarra Valley Race 1 - Melbourne Chain Wire Fencing Mdn Plate
CHAMPAGNE EXPRESS (4) ran some nice races in metro maidens in her debut campaign, beaten less than half a length when third on debut at Sandown before another third placing at the same track last time out. They were over further than this but jumpouts have been good and has the class to feature over this shorter trip, especially from the good draw. FLAT CHAT (5) is back from a break and will be improved on two recent trial placings. Rates highly and looks set to run well. AIN'T A BAD DAY (1) opened up a massive price ($71) on debut but was backed into $31 and ran a cracker to grab second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1000m at Seymour. Better for that and open to plenty of improvement. ABOVE ME (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1000m at Echuca. Expected to be there at the business end. HAVANA MOON (6) is spotting experience to key rivals, but is a multiple jumpout winner who will be primed to go.

Gelding by Manhattan Rain facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on November 5 at Caulfield Heath when finished fifth. Stable has a good record with first-starters and blinkers on for the debut is a positive sign.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Caulfield Heath 3yo Mdn-Sw December 18 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Hustle In Heels carrying 56kg at $3.90. On debut third of 8 at Moe 3yo Mdn-Sw November 21 2024 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Tophet carrying 56kg at $13. Did little wrong in debut campaign and jumpouts ahead of this suggest she hasn't gone backwards.

First starter by Vino Rosso out of Anuddawinna. Has a total of six trials prior to her debut today. Has been given four jumpouts this prep, so will be fit enough, but inclined to think she'll improve on whatever she does here.
