Race 5 — AME Systems Mdn Plate 1600m · jumps

Race preview

The Ame Systems Mdn Plate is a 1600m three-year-old and upwards maiden on a Good (4) track at Ararat in fine conditions. Vulcana sits shortest in the market, followed by Nialah, Almorina, and Selita's Fury. The race shapes as a genuine contest between maidens at this level, with the shorter-priced runners split across the pace map—Vulcana offpace, Nialah onpace, and Almorina as a backmarker who showed finishing speed at Mortlake.

Vulcana carries a Rating 100 and brings two progressive placing efforts to Aratan. The three-year-old filly ran a close second at Warrnambool over 1200m in heavy going, rallying hard in the straight after opening her account at Ballarat where she was only 0.4L away at the same 1400m trip. Trainer Ciaron Maher is striking at just 8%, which is a concern, but the form itself suggests this runner has improved between runs and the mile suits her progression. Nialah, rated 86, led and had her chances at Ballarat but melted under pressure—the comment reads she has gate speed and is looking for a mile now, which Ararat's 1600m provides. Both runners from the Maher camp are underperforming market by 32%, a headwind worth noting.

Almorina presents genuine intrigue off a Rating 85. She was a full-length second at Mortlake over this exact distance and showed the fastest overall finishing sectionals last start before trailing out of sight at Warrnambool. Trainer Symon Wilde's stable is firing at 40 per cent in the past 100 runners, and with Linda Meech aboard, this backmarker could work into the race late. Selita's Fury debut was emphatic—just caught at Echuca at $31 with 0.06L margin—and the comment flags excellent scope. A negative rider change sits against her today, yet the raw form from first-up suggests speed and improvement. The onpace runners will fight for position early, making late closers dangerous if the pace doesn't stack.

Comments

AAP

Back for second campaign (41-weeks). Ex R P Wellington in NSW. Unplaced in all 5 runs to date. Readied with two soft trials.

ILB

First run back from a break of 41 weeks. At $151.00 didn't find the line when 11th last time at Albury and hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Can't back with any confidence.

RP

Yet to get off the mark in five attempts (seventh his best finish); finished last of 11 at Albury in January; form of the stable is a plus; returns from a layoff; headgear now needed to spark a revival, not one to rely on.

RSIS

Racing fresh after a 41 week break. Started at 150/1 and faded away to finish 11th last time at Albury and will have to carry extra weight.

Second campaign (24-weeks). Looks a safer place proposition.

Back after a break. Jumped at $4.60 and came in 5th last time at Pakenham. Large claim helps.

Well back and never sighted at Ballarat over this trip when pushed out in the market. Capable of making an impact.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Jumped at $18.00 and came in 6th last time at Ballarat. Interesting gear change of winkers off first time. Significant improvement required.

RP

Was sixth of ten, beaten 14l, at Ballarat a week ago; four-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; others appeal more.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Started at 17/1 and came in 6th last start at Ballarat. Cheekpieces go off for the first time.

Unplaced in all 11 runs to date. Failed to threaten at Avoca as an outsider. Switching to 1600m. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Was $61.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 9th last start at Avoca but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Pass.

RP

Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 11; finished ninth, beaten a fair way at Avoca over 1m1f (maiden) last month; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Was 60/1 and well beaten when 9th last run at Avoca but drawn nicely. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Yet to place in 11 runs.

Excellent debut performance when just nabbed at Echuca at $31. Has scope. Primed to go one better.

ILB

Just missed last time at Echuca and was a debutant last start. Winkers go on for the first time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can run into the placings.

RP

Ran respectably on his debut at Echuca at 28-1 last month; if building on promise shown first time out no surprise to see him go well.

RSIS

Just missed last run at Echuca and having second career run. Interesting to see the cheekpieces go on for the first time. Has shown early pace in races to date.

Fair way from the winner but battled home into second at Ballarat over this trip. Looks up against it.

ILB

On a quick back up. Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Ballarat on a heavy track. A 10 start maiden. Zac Moore takes a large claim. Would need to step up.

RP

Was on the premises (finished second of seven) at Ballarat last week; has shown some recent improvement but still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce).

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Ran well when 2nd last run at Ballarat. Still in maiden grade after 10 runs. The large claim from Zac Moore should help.

Got back and hit line with a full head of steam at Mortlake. Better effort latest but needs to keep improving.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Made some ground late when 2nd last time at Mortlake. Winkers go on for the first time. Will be hitting the line strongly. Has claims.

RP

Went close when runner-up upped to this trip at Mortlake last month; wears first-time cheekpieces.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Mortlake. Interesting gear change of cheekpieces on first time. Expecting a strong showing.

Form modest reading. Big weight took its toll at Warrnambool over longer test. Pace influence. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Jumped at $21.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at Warrnambool but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Best to watch only.

RP

Creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten 2l over 1m2f at Warrnambool (maiden) last Thursday; still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); a lot on her plate here and others make more appeal.

RSIS

Was 20/1 and outmuscled in the final stages of the race when 4th last run at Warrnambool but dropping in distance.

AAP

Prominent to 400m but threw the towel in quickly at Mortlake second-up. Needs a substantial turnaround.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Started at $151.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last start at Mortlake. Not interested today.

RP

Behind Almorina at Mortlake upped to this trip when beaten 9l (sixth of ten) a week ago; others more appealing.

RSIS

On a quick back up. At 150/1 couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at Mortlake.

AAP

Handily placed and worked home soundly at Naracoorte. Strips fitter. Only for the minors here.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Odds of $7.50 and outmuscled in the late stages when 4th last start at Naracoorte. Rough hope.

RP

Respectable effort when fourth at Naracoorte over 7f (maiden) last Sunday; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and warrants plenty of respect.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Odds of 13/2 and didn't find the line when 4th last run at Naracoorte.

AAP

Record doesn't inspire. In touch but ran out of petrol quickly and finished a long way down the track at Ballarat over this trip.

ILB

On a short turnaround. At $101.00 below par performance when 8th last time at Ballarat. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Hasn't placed in 10 starts. Prefer in something a lot easier.

RP

Still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); close up behind Pneuma when eighth at Ballarat last Monday; facing a testing assignment and others make more appeal.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. At 100/1 lacklustre showing when 8th last time at Ballarat. Has the necessary pace to mitistall the wide draw.

Disappointing debut performance at Kyneton 20 Oct. Wiser for it. Only for the minors here.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started $14.00 and well beaten when 7th last time at Albury.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. At 13/1 unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at Albury.

Led them up but melted under pressure at Ballarat. Has gate speed. Looking for a mile now. High on the shortlist.

ILB

Started $3.40 and was outsprinted late when 4th last run at Ballarat. Interesting to see the tongue tie go on for the first time. Displays good tactical speed. Strong prospects.

RP

Only finished fourth of 11 despite odds of 12-5 over 7f at Ballarat (maiden) 16 days ago when just behind Vulcana; stepped up on her last two starts; needs considering.

RSIS

Odds of 12/5 and was found wanting late when 4th last start at Ballarat. Tongue strap go on for the first time. Should be going forward early. Chance and can measure up.

AAP

Promising 3yo and been in the market each outing. Rallied hard in straight to place at Ballarat at second outing. Progressive type. Key contender.

ILB

Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 4L last start at Ballarat and will try to take advantage of the draw. Top rated selection.

RP

Respectable effort to finish runner-up over 7f at Ballarat (maiden), finished ahead of Nialah last month; first-time cheekpieces now; likely player.

RSIS

Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 4L last start at Ballarat and has a positive stall. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Has the figures to win.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
