Casterton Race 1 - Phillips Farm Machinery Mdn Plate
Looks a handy maiden to kick things off and MONEY HONEY (10) looks the testing material after a nice second on debut in town, when she beat home all bar the smart Buggsy, who won at Sandown last Saturday. Won a recent St Arnaud jumpout in preparation for this and draws to advantage. LITTLE MEDUSA (4) ran up to some nice trials with a good debut effort and will be better for that and can make use of the good draw. MAGNUM (9) looks ready to go after four trials this time in, winning the latest. CAPTIVE ROCK (6) was good fresh but less effective at the latest. Should improve third-up and remains in the mix.

Resuming after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign when last of 12 at Werribee Mdn-Sw April 11 over 1000m, 14 len behind Bear Champ carrying 59.5kg at $101. Previously first up; second of 9 at Albury Mdn-Sw October 25 over 900m, a nose behind Bargino with 59kg at $2.15. Might be better off following this run.

Second-up. First-up after about 18 months ran last of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warracknabeal on August 15 over 1000m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Azzurri Queen carrying 59.5kg at $81. Previously second-up 4th of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on March 10 2025 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Geffina carrying 59.5kg at $19. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Mare by Nicconi making her first appearance. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Casterton on August 10. Two trials this time in have been OK, so don't dismiss.

Third-up today. Resuming set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Bairnsdale on July 13 over 1000m, slow going 2.75 len behind My China Plate with 57kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell 7th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 9 over 1000m, 6 len behind Lady In Red with 57kg at $4. Going well. Not a great draw again but able to play a big role.

Colt by Dirty Work facing the starter for the first time. Won a jump-out at Geelong on August 19. Looks ready to go and aided by a low draw.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 in a 2yo Hcp at Sandown-Hillside on March 11 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Buggsy carrying 57kg at $11. Beat all bar one home in a strong form race on debut, which looks good form for this.
