Cranbourne Race 2 - Ladbrokes Tote Win +10% In October Mdn Plate
VALAROSO (4) tried hard first up at Caulfield Heath over 1100m when just shaded a long neck as a $2.60 hope. He was thought highly enough of to debut in a $1 million race and ran a good fifth, with further improvement he'll go close here. KEEN OBSERVER (1) has placed in all four runs to date, short in the market each time. He's been costly and draws wide here but looks a strong hope again. CALL ME LATER (5) is a filly by Too Darn Hot on debut for the Moody & Coleman yard who has jumped out nicely and draws in. RESONANT (3) resumes having tackled some handy races last time in, watch the market fresh, similarly GIMONNET (7) who didn't measure up in blacktype at two but has jumped out well.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 12 in a C,G&E Mdn at Ballarat on September 18 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Purgatorio with 57kg at $2.80. The race before that 2nd in a small field in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Seymour on August 27 over 1414m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Autumn In Grinzing carrying 58kg at $1.80. Been a bit costly but can atone.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Flemington 2yo Hcp June 6 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Aethera carrying 56.5kg at $9. On debut second of 10 at Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush May 2 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Marffiano with 58kg at $19. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Can run well fresh.

Three-year-old filly (Too Darn Hot - Bright Rubick) who was bought for AUD $ 120,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). She has six recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Pakenham over 800m on September 22. Looks a solid winning chance.

Second-up ran last of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 10 over 1200m, 22 len behind Crudens Tycoon with 58kg at $41. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race.
