Yarra Valley Race 2 - Mark Leonard Plumbing Mdn Plate
BAR LA LA (8) is spotting race experience to most rivals, but with no standout among those we have seen, she can make a winning debut. Was given a solid hitout at latest jumpout but there was a lot to like about the turn of foot she showed when asked and draws to be handy. IRONIC FORTUNE (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths at Cranbourne, but was great the start prior behind a smart one and has also drawn well. GOOD ONYA CHAMP (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at this track and doesn't need much to go his way to be a force. CORTISOL (2) is another first-starter who has won a couple of jumpouts and should be in the firing line.

Third-up today. Resuming from last on the turn 5th of 10 at Nhill Mdn-Sw on December 26 over 1150m, 0.8 len behind Black Cherry carrying 59.5kg at $4. Last start second last of 10 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1103m, 5.5 len behind Vinnie's Turn with 59.5kg at $4. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance.

Gelding by Ilovethiscity on debut. Won a jump-out at Wangaratta on February 9. Been on-speed in two recent jumpout wins, so might give a sight.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 7 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Brazen Fling carrying 59kg at $4.40. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Baked with 58kg at $13. Barrier hurts but has the talent to be a force in this.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 3 over 1200m, 8 len behind Azzacool carrying 57kg at $26. Previously second-up 5th of 7 at Tatura 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 30 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Go Left carrying 54kg at $14. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
