Yarra Valley Race 4 - De Bortoli (Bm62)
CRIPPS (1) comes up from Tasmania in flying form, a winner of his past two. He'd already shown solid ability in Victoria early days and now that he's found a bit of form in some decent races down South, he can go on with it. PAPARAZZO (5) is racing consistently, not far away at Pakenham last time out in a 0-62. Stackhouse sticks which is a good sign and he'll be hard to hold out. QUEBECK (4) resumes. He didn't really fire last time in but the fresh run wasn't bad and he's got the ability to be winning. SMALL TOWN HERO (6) has just found one better at his past couple and looks to get a good run just behind the pace here. Respecting. SILVER TOP RIDGE (7) is racing well this time in and has solid claims up on speed.

Third-up today. First-up won by 1.3 len at Hobart Cl1 February 6 over 1390m defeating Southern Auroras carrying 59kg at $2.50. Last start won by a head at Launceston 3/4yo Hcp February 20 over 1400m defeating Magnaprime with 54kg at $2.60. Flying and can convert that form to the mainland.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by a nose at Ararat Bm56 March 3 over 1300m in soft going defeating Over The Edge carrying 62kg at $6. The race before that 3rd of 14 at Ballarat Bm56 on February 14 over 1200m, 2 len behind Grammy's Sunshine carrying 61kg at $5. Bit harder now but can win again.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation ninth of 12 at Wagga Bm50 November 29 over 1200m, 8 len behind Wagunda carrying 55.5kg at $21. When resuming last campaign fourth of 10 at Gunbower Bm52 October 4 over 1100m, 3 len behind Lou Lou's Choice carrying 57kg at $21. Up in grade for this and form at the end of her last preparation suggests she is likely to struggle.
