Bendigo Race 3 - Cathcart Smash Repairs Mdn Plate
HOME INVASION (15) does look the obvious choice on resumption given she started $5.50 on debut in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes and ran a very credible fifth to Shiki. We haven't seen her since but she's had plenty of Sydney trials and a Werribee jumpout win to get her ready and naturally a return to maiden grade sees her very hard to catch. That said, AERIAL PURSUIT (1) looks very smart on debut for the Freedman yard. He's a gelding by Acrobat who looked very good winning a recent Cranbourne jumpout, coming right away there. He draws well and looks a danger. OCEANS BLUE (9) is a Bivouac filly for the O'Brien yard who has won a trial and has claims in what looks a very strong maiden, as does RIGHT ACLAIM (5), a colt for the Ciaron Maher yard who has been jumping out and trialling nicely.

Two-year-old gelding making debut by Acrobat out of Questing. Won a Cranbourne jump-out on May 4. Looks very good off latest hitout, big chance.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Deep Field out of Cleocatra. Purchased for AUD $ 180,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Won a Pakenham jump-out on April 21. Wide barrier to overcome. Wouldn't surprise.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old filly by Wild Ruler out of Run Pam Run. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 800m at Caulfield Heath April 30. Drawn wide and likely to need this.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when 5th of 11 at Randwick in the G3 Gimcrack on October 4 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Shiki with 56kg at $5.50. Profiles very well and should go close.
