Race 1 — Ararat Meat Exports Mdn Plate 1000m · jumps Sat 14 Nov, 1:04 pm AEDT

Race preview

Dunkeld hosts the Ararat Meat Exports Mdn Plate over 1000m on a Soft 7 track under overcast skies, scheduled for 1:04 pm AEDT. The win market order places Flash Inquiry at the head of affairs, closely followed by Red Mink, Starseatic, and Gunnah's Conker in the early betting sequence. The bold play here looks to lean away from the shortest priced runners and find some value in a tricky 3yo maiden contest where several stables are struggling for consistent strike rates.

Looking closely at the form behind the market leader, Flash Inquiry comes out of a solid runner-up performance at Swan Hill over 975m on a Good 4 track where she showed a strong late turn of foot from the back half. That effort earned a rating of 80 and follows a prior run at Echuca. Meanwhile, Red Mink brings a rating of 94 into the race after a narrow second at Albury over 900m, suggesting she has the right conditioning to run a bold race here despite the stable statistics pointing to a lower striking rate overall.

Further down the win market order, Starseatic represents an interesting angle with a rating of 81, coming off a battling third at Mortlake over 1100m on a Soft 5 surface. With Red Mink and Starseatic both listed among the leaders in the early speed groups, expect them to try and dictate terms up front, while runners like Balgownie Miss look for a softer trip from the back markers. The value sits with those who can handle the Soft 7 conditions better than their rivals if the tempo proves hot early.

Comments

AAP

First-up (17-weeks). Shown some promise. Drawn well for return. Capable of playing a key role in this.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break. Close to a win last start Ballarat Synthetic and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Drawn well.

Went down by a neck (Ballarat) in July; layoff to overcome.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Missed by a narrow margin last time Ballarat Synthetic and promising career start. Will appreciate a good stall.

AAP

In touch but ran out of petrol quickly and finished a long way down the track at Mildura at second appearance. Prefer to watch.

ILB

Was $61.00 and folded up in the straight when 9th last run at Mildura but has a positive gate. Interesting gear change of ear muffs on first time. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Ninth of ten beaten 13l at Mildura last month.

RSIS

Started 60/1 and didn't attack the line when 9th last start at Mildura but has a positive stall. Hood go on for the first time.

AAP

Second campaign (25-weeks). Offered little to catch the eye on debut at Caulfield Heath at wide odds 20 May. Experience helps.

ILB

First up today. Didn't find the line when 10th last start at Caulfield Heath but having second race start. Expected to be flashing home. Up against a less competitive field. Place hope.

Never landed a blow on her debut when last of ten over this distance at Caulfield at 66-1 six months ago; returns from a layoff; definite chance as trainer's horses tend to improve markedly from their debut and she knows more about the job in hand.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Didn't threaten when 10th last time at Caulfield Heath but was a debutant last start. Can go through the gears. Facing a weaker grade.

Ridden in back half, strong late to fill the minors 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Swan Hill at her second race start. Can challenge again.

ILB

Managed to finish 2nd last time at Swan Hill. Very capable of taking this out.

Turned in a solid effort in defeat two weeks ago, when second (Swan Hill); stable going well a plus.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at Swan Hill. Definite winning chance.

AAP

Back for second campaign (16-weeks). Unremarkable debut performance at Pakenham Synthetic as a despised outsider 20 Jul. Comes off a good trial.

ILB

Fresh from a break. Started $151.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last run at Pakenham Synthetic but fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Pass at this stage.

Beaten on her debut at Pakenham at 150-1 four months ago; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start.

RSIS

Back from a break. Odds of 150/1 and tailed off to finish 10th last run at Pakenham Synthetic but having second race start. Should come to hand quickly.

Comments

AAP

Settled back and always among the cab-catchers at Tatura at second start. Shown nothing in two outings so far. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Was $101.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last time at Tatura. Interesting to see the tongue tie go off for the first time. Can't entertain.

Could not manage better than eighth over 5½f at Tatura (maiden) 46 days ago; others are preferred.

RSIS

Freshened for this. Started 100/1 and faded to finish 8th last time at Tatura. Interesting gear change of tongue strap off first time.

Trials (1:0-0-0). $20k purchase. Out of an unraced mare. Won most recent jumpout on Ballarat synthetic. Creates interest on debut.

3yo by Profiteer racing as a debutant for trainer Archie Alexander. Watch for a sign in the market.

First start under rules for this daughter of Profiteer; can make her presence felt with signs of encouragement in profile.

Close-up and gave her all to just miss at Albury at second outing. Stripping fitter, primed to go one better.

ILB

Just shy of the win last start at Albury. Should come to hand quickly. Jack Hill and Tim Fitzsimmons have achieved a lot of success as a team. Very smart animal who will take a power of beating.

Beaten a head when second over 4½f at Albury (maiden) last month.

RSIS

Narrowly beaten last start at Albury. Jack Hill and Tim Fitzsimmons are a formidable team. Has shown early pace in races to date. Has ability that supersedes its rivals.

At the helm, outpointed late but slogged away for the minor spoils 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Mortlake when second-up. Leads, handy.

ILB

Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd beaten by 3L last run at Mortlake. Should race on the speed. Good prospects.

Turned in a solid effort in defeat last month, when third at Mortlake over 5½f (maiden).

RSIS

Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last time at Mortlake. Likely to be well placed early. Winning chance at nice odds.

Hanseatic filly heading to the races off an average Cranbourne jumpout. Must always respect stable first starters.

Ciaron Maher newcomers have an excellent record over this sort of trip; must go on the shortlist as some good aspects to her profile.
