Balaklava Race 2 - Sportsbet Racing Form Mdn Plate
THUNDARA (11) is desperate to break through soon, hitting the line strongly in her first three starts. The rise to the mile looks perfect fourth-up and she gets the chance to settle much closer drawing the inside pillar. Is the one to beat. JUMBO JET (4) had the map advantage of THUNDARA last time in town and did well to keep her at bay. No rise in weight and draws well again. Is sure to be very competitive. MAJESTIC GLOW (8) wasn't fancied on debut at Oakbank but stuck on soundly to finish second. Is sure to have come on from that and should have enough pace to offset the wide draw. Can give a sight. PRANCING LILY (9) improved sharply third-up when chasing gamely into fourth. Is open to further improvement and is worth including in exotics.

At the latest run 7th of 14 at Oakbank 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Boolcunda Dawn with 58kg at $201. Before that got back early 6th of 10 at Port Lincoln 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1350m, 5 len behind Grinzinger Gold carrying 58kg at $71. Can't see him breaking through for the maiden win this time.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 8th of 12 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1250m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Ramasis carrying 57kg at $13. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Sicilian Princess with 57kg at $19. Progressing well and is expected to measure up.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 7th of 12 at this track 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 4 over 1050m, on a slow track; 4 len behind One Whim with 57kg at $13. Second-up 7th of 11 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1250m, 7 len behind City Pro with 57kg at $31. Looks very well placed here so is one of the main contenders.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 11 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 18 over 1200m, 13 len behind Uptown Monk carrying 57kg at $61. Last start second last of 12 at this track 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 11 over 1200m, 7 len behind Dashing Double with 57kg at $101. Doesn't appeal.
