Ararat Race 1 - Harvey Norman Ararat Mdn Plate
ARADEO (8) ran well in what looks a better maiden on debut at Sale, settling back but finding the line strongly to grab third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Out to 1200m here and with natural improvement she'll go close. HINEY'S BAR (4) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1100m at Colac and will have taken plenty from that. He could push forward and take catching. WILD ROSES GROW (11) ran well last time at Kilmore and any further improvement on that has her fighting out the finish again. CORRO (3) was poor first up in a stronger maiden without the best of runs. He's lightly raced and can improve quickly.

Third race start. First start ran last of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on August 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; 13 len behind La Astro Chat with 57kg at $21. Went for a spell before returning sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Sale 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 11 over 1006m, slow going 12 len behind Sea Trader carrying 58kg at $101. Expect he'll find this too tough.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Al Maher out of Dubai Diamond. Ran 3rd in a Great Western jump-out on January 28. Following that finished seventh in an Avoca jump-out on February 12. Beautifully drawn so worth watching for any market confidence.
