Ballarat Race 4 - Tobin Brothers Funerals Mdn Plate
CATWALK ICON (10) started hard in the market all three runs in the debut campaign when it all might have come a bit too soon for her. A couple of recent trial wins suggest she's come back in fine style and draws to play a prominent role throughout. PRESTIGE ERICK (8) has had the two runs, beaten less than a length although unplaced on debut and then hit the line stylishly last start over 1100m. Will appreciate the extra distance here and doesn't have to get as far back from the low draw. Similarly, BLUE LIGHT DISCO (1) showed improvement from the debut to second-up and should give this a shake if there's any level of improvement out of the most recent run. JOIN THE QUE (3) hasn't placed in three runs to date, but two recent jumpout wins hint his best performance yet could be on the cards here. OLE ROYALE (6) comes through the same race as BLUE LIGHT DISCO and has some ground to make up on that galloper from a wide gate but will have benefitted from the outing.

Returns from a 55-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 10 at Yea Pic-Mdn-Sw on January 24 over 1300m, 2 len behind Albanian Lady carrying 67kg at $7. The start before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on January 15 over 1600m, 19 len behind Octane Reign with 59.5kg at $201. Hasn't been able to get the job done at the picnics, so likely to struggle here.

Gelding by Trapeze Artist making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on March 13 at Flemington when finished fifth. Solid ground for this at the jumpouts and draws to get his chance.

At debut, got back early 6th of 11 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1200m, 3 len behind Deliberate Ploy carrying 59kg at $14. Will take a lot from that hitout and shapes as one to consider.

Raced two times to date. At long odds at debut, 4th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Lonstar carrying 59kg at $26. Second-up 2nd of 11 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Prince Pienza with 59kg at $4.20. Hit the line well for second last start and won't have to get as far back this time from the gun draw up in trip.

At the latest run 11th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 10 over 1200m, 4 len behind Manifest The Milli with 57.5kg at $10. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Bel Mezyaan with 57.5kg at $101. On home track and draws well, but needs to find a gear or two.
