Donald Race 4 - Michaels Of Donald Mdn Plate
SHE'S EXCESSIVE (10) debuts and has won 5/6 jumpouts and placed second in the other. She finds a suitable assignment, and the in-form Meech is a positive jockey booking. She'll get every chance. LIGHT FILLED (7) resumes and she led narrowly beaten here since last seen. She missed a whisker over this trip at Ballarat on debut and won a recent Ballarat jump-out. Has plenty of gate speed, and a bold return is on the cards. SMOKE SCREEN (11) led unexpectedly at Pakenham third-up, and it didn't suit. She has been beaten a whisker at Pakenham and Caulfield Heath prior over this trip and raced as the favourite in all. She comes back 100m and will take a sit today. ELSA OF ARENDELLE (5) settled well back at Pakenham first-up and closed off well beaten just 1.5L. She'd switched yards and is improved. Will have to do it the hard way again but keeps John Allen and that will assist.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 6th of 12 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw on March 19 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Invincible Lover carrying 57kg at $8.

She is resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 10 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw November 20 over 1000m, 9 len behind Faraway Dream with 56kg at $31. On debut fourth of 7 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw November 5 over 1103m, on heavy track; 7 len behind National Code with 56kg at $21. Might be better off following this outing.

Last start raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 19 over 1100m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Two To Tango with 57kg at $3.10.
