Yarra Valley Race 1 - Melbourne Chain Wire Fencing Mdn Plate
Connections of EQUIVASTER (8) could not have hoped to find a better race for their daughter of Zoustar, who has run top three in three jumpouts this time in. Drawn wide, but she's demonstrated an ability to get out of the gates quickly when asked, so expect her to be prominent. GOOD ONYA CHAMP (5) has only placed once from six starts but comes through stronger races than this and looks the best of the raced brigade. SIRSA NUWA (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Stawell over 1100m, beaten 3 lengths, but will be better for that, draws well and will appreciate the extra 100m. BRAZEN FLING (6) needs to lift on the past two sixth placings, but placed at her first three runs of the prep and is a key player if she can rediscover that form.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 9th of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 1100m, 6 len behind Baked carrying 56.5kg at $61. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Burrumbeet Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Foremmakate carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Capable of much better performance.

Second-up. First start 9th of 13 at Moe 4Upmdn-Sw on October 19 over 1100m, 8 len behind Torvega carrying 59.5kg at $101. Went for a spell before returning sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on January 16 over 1400m, 8 len behind Silver Bullet carrying 59.5kg at $71. Draws well, but needs to show more.

Resuming today after only having had one start and then had five months break. At debut last start 7th of 12 at Donald Mdn-Sw on September 13 over 1350m, 4.5 len behind Bangalow Road with 57.5kg at $41. Had 10 recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial fitter for a jump-out on January 6 at Echuca when finished fourth. Didn't do much on debut and jumpouts this time only fair.

At debut, 5th of 11 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on January 4 over 1100m, 3 len behind Grammy's Sunshine with 56kg at $11. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Better for the debut run in a race of more depth than this.
