Flemington Race 3 - Good Friday Appeal Ottawa Stakes (G3)
MEDICINAL (2) clearly on top. She stuck on well behind subsequent Blue Diamond winner Streisand on debut, going right on with it at Ballarat last time, up on speed there and ripping home in some big late splits to win by 3.5 lengths. Jamie should keep her out of trouble and use her turn of foot to effect out wide. REBEL TUESDAY (1) comes over from Adelaide having won two on the bounce at short odds. This is tougher but she can measure up. SIMPLY STEFFI (3) was solid in the Merson Cooper on debut and resumed with an easy maiden win at Cranbourne. She can go on with it now. BETTER OFF ALONE (5) resumes having struggled on debut in the G3 Gimcrack. She's won a trial leading in and could do much better. SCINTILLATION (4) was well backed on debut at Gosford and won okay. She could go on with it.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 11 at Caulfield in the G2 Bd/Prel F on February 7 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Streisand carrying 56kg at $9. Last start won by 3.5 len at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw February 22 over 1100m defeating Big Wigs carrying 56kg at $3.60. Dominant last time and looks the one to beat.

Second-up. First start eased back early on 7th of 13 at Caulfield in the LR M Cooper on November 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Eternal Warrior with 56kg at $6.50. Went for a break before returning favourite; won by 1.3 len at Cranbourne 2yo Hcp February 20 over 1000m defeating Handee with 57kg at $2.70. Tough to beat on latest and can measure up again.

Resuming today after only having had one start and then had five months break. At debut last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at Randwick in the G3 Gimcrack on October 4 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Shiki carrying 56kg at $6.50. Had two recent trials to get ready for this. Won a barrier trial over 792m at Warwick Farm on February 16. Can do better this time around.
