York Race 3 - Tabtouch Better Your Bet Mdn
OPAL NERO (11) is the one to beat despite plain finishing positions, because the last two runs at Northam both came with the significant caveat of covering ground throughout and he now strikes a softer assignment fourth-up. His long maiden record and 1500m profile prevent overconfidence, but the set-up is clearly more suitable. DANCING SPIRIT (6) also comes through provincial company and was only beaten just under four lengths at Geraldton when respected in an open market, although her previous 1500m attempts leave a query. LAST SHOUT (3) has the most appealing recent closing effort, charging home two back before being steadied last time, and is fit enough to improve third-up. MONEY MANZIEL (4) is the unknown runner, with two Belmont Park trials and a strong jockey-trainer profile giving him genuine place-and-upside appeal on debut. YALDA NIGHT (2) can resume on a positive note.

Was well beaten on debut at Bunbury over 1675m, finishing a distant last at big odds after racing wide early and weakening from the 600m. He has since trialled third at Lark Hill, which gives some sign of activity between runs, but top weight and an untried 1500m leave him with plenty to prove. Trialled third since, but top weight and an untried 1500m make this a tough ask.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a sixth at Northam over 2200m, where he was close enough on the turn but did not quicken and was unwanted in the market. The prior run at Pinjarra Scarpside was well held on soft ground. Can resume on a positive note.

Had excuses when seventh at Bunbury last start, with the stewards noting he was steadied at the 800m before finishing 5.5 lengths from Producimus. His previous run was better than the fifth placing reads, beginning awkwardly before charging home from the rear at long odds. Third-up now and can fire back in grade.

Makes his debut with no race form to assess, so the market will be important. He has had two Belmont Park trials this time in, finishing seventh and eighth over 1000m, and the Mitchell Pateman stable has a workable debut record. Holly Watson is a positive booking from a low draw. Finds a suitable race on debut.

Recent form is hard to dress up after finishing second last at Northam, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. His prior effort was in 3yo+ Class 1 company at Belmont Park, where he finished last of six but only 4.5 lengths from Juniper. Place hopes only.

Comes back quickly after a Geraldton sixth, beaten just under four lengths by Beaumont Miss when near the top of an open market. That was an improvement on her heavy-track Northam run, where she began slowly, raced wide and made no impression. She is fitter now and eased out of provincial company, while the 1500m record remains a fair query. Blinkers back on now and she can play a leading role.

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, finishing 11th at Bunbury last start when beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. Two back she was second last, beaten over 17 lengths after pressing forward and dropping out sharply. Claim and gear change help a little, but she must improve sharply.

Was last at Northam first-up, beaten over 12 lengths after travelling handy and giving ground in the straight. The late bump noted by stewards was not enough to excuse the overall performance. She was also well held at Bunbury before spelling and has one previous unplaced attempt around 1500m. Gear change noted, but others bring stronger form.

Finished last at Kalgoorlie over 1617m, beaten 6.5 lengths, with some interference noted but still failing to come on after tracking the speed. The start prior at Junction was much worse, finishing second last and beaten 25 lengths. Still unplaced on turf and must find more.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with an 11th at Bunbury on soft ground, beaten over 15 lengths at big odds. Her better run that campaign was a fifth at Kalgoorlie, where she picked up late after beginning awkwardly, but she remains unplaced from seven starts. The Kalgoorlie fifth gives a small reference point, but her maiden record is a worry.

Gets a much kinder assignment after two wide runs at Northam, the latest when second last and well beaten after covering ground throughout. He was also wide the start prior behind Modern Miss, so the recent margins are not the full story. The long maiden record and 1500m stats temper confidence, but he is fourth-up, race fit and well placed at the weights. Easier here and he finds a winnable race.
