Balaklava Race 3 - Balaklava Cup 16th September Mdn Plate
AMALFI DREAMER (9) settled too far back on debut but picked up strongly in the lane, powering home into third. Is sure to have come on from that and is drawn much kinder this time. Doubt he's still a maiden after this. WHISKEY TUMBLER (6) was well supported in both runs in his debut campaign but couldn't quite deliver. Suspect he has his share of ability but he will have to be on his A-game to knock off AD. LITTLE BILLIE (2) was fast away here on debut earlier this month and was only run down late. Better for that and can give another bold sight. FAR MORE RADIANT (11) has been beaten similar margins in her two runs back but strips fitter now and gets the blinkers applied. Place chance. FINNBAR MCCOOL (3) best of the rest.
