Casterton Race 5 - Bet365 Mdn Plate
MIN KIATA (4) is on a 10-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1200m at Warrnambool. Draws the fence and is expected to go well again. ENZO CHARLEY (2) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 8 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at Warrnambool. Will push forward and is among the chances in this easier contest. HOPES 'N' DREAMS (3) did little on debut, when a noted drifter, but has been back to the trials, winning an 850m workout at Ararat, so worth another chance. GREEN AMBER (8) is a 17-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the last run a commendable third at Horsham over 1200m. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 10 at Warrnambool 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 7 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Atomova with 59.5kg at $51. Cannot recommend on what we saw on debut.

Last start led to the turn then faded 5th of 11 at Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 6 over 1400m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Shoma carrying 59.5kg at $16.

Before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 11 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1430m, 3 len behind Irlandais with 54.5kg at $5. Made headway last time. Winning prospects enhanced by the favourable alley.
