Devonport Synthetic Race 2 - Kevin Sharkie Mdn Plate
EQUIVASTER (4) looks the same play on recent form. Has been winding up strongly and looks close to a win. Newitt goes aboard and drawn for a soft trail on the inside. Looks hard to beat. LYREBIRD LADY (5) is a former Victorian making her Tassie debut. Best figures stack up and has trialled to keep ticking over. Watch closely. HARRATA (1) made a solid return when fourth and strips fitter. Expected to have come on. AWESOME ORPHAN (3) has been freshened since disappointing last time. Leading rider goes aboard and is well worth another try. FLYING FURTHER (10) is a three-year-old filly making her debut by Alpine Eagle out of Fiveandfurther. Has been well educated with plenty of trials and is worth keeping safe.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months 4th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 26 over 1150m, 3.5 len behind City Wok with 58.5kg at $15. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham on May 29 2025 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Knobelas with 59.5kg at $14. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

First starter by Alpine Eagle - Novarosa. Hasn't set the track alight with his trials leading into today's race. Not seen on the track to assess positively. Hasn't shown a lot in trials so betting best guide.

Most recently 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 12 over 1009m, 4.5 len behind Brutal Empire carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 26 over 1150m, 4 len behind City Wok with 54.5kg at $12. Working up to a win. Change of rider and looks hard to beat off the inside.

Since last run she has trialed at Devonport Synthetic over 800m on 18/8/2026; Last outing 7th of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Geelong on July 10 over 1443m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Ice Quake carrying 57kg at $21. Start before fifth of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw June 30 over 1500m, 6 len behind Circus Lights carrying 57.5kg at $5. First run for new yard and looks tough to beat if near her best.

Five-year-old mare (Omaha Beach - Toorak Show) will no doubt benefit from the four trials prior to her debut today. Was third in a Hobart barrier trial over 800m on August 6. Placed all four trials and pay to keep safe.

Last start 4th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 12 over 1009m, 5 len behind Brutal Empire with 56.5kg at $31. The start before that 5th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 12 over 1009m, 3.5 len behind Thermal Miss with 56.5kg at $6. Looks to have had her chances and offers little appeal.

Gelding by Nicconi facing the starter for the first time. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Won trial at Devonport Synthetic over 800m on August 18. Unbeaten in trials so worth watching for a push.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 12 over 1009m, 6 len behind Brutal Empire carrying 53kg at $61. Ran 3rd in a trial at Devonport Synthetic over 800m on August 18. Doubt he will trouble these.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Alpine Eagle out of Fiveandfurther. Was second in a 1009m trial on August 11 at Devonport Synthetic. Following that fifth over 800m in a Devonport Synthetic trial on August 18. Well educated and worth watching for a move.
