Kyneton Race 2 - Carlton Draught Mdn Plate
Race dominated by first-starters, a number of which have shown enough at the trials to suggest they can make an early impact. KOKONDA (2) has been particularly impressive at his past two, showing good speed to win a Wangaratta jumpout before sitting off them in an Echuca trial and rounding them up under a light ride. Would have liked him to have drawn better but looks a versatile type. JIVE DANCER (1) is another who comes here off two jumpout wins, settling prominent in both. There looked to be a little extra under the hood in each, too. TEMU TILLY (10) has been to the races once and went around $16 and only whacked away after enjoying a good run but it was a performance that suggested she'll be much better suited up to this trip. LUFITAAH (7) was outclassed at G3 level at her final run last prep but has jumped out well and this is a suitable fresh assignment.

Gelding by Hellbent facing the starter for the first time. Won a jump-out at Balnarring on February 18. Has had 5 jumpouts in preparation for this, winning the past two impressively on-speed, so looks poised to make an early impact.

Craig Weeding trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Recent trial winner at Echuca. Worked home stylishly to win Echuca trial after on-pace Wang jumpout win, so has the versatility to overcome the gate.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Shocking out of You've No Idea. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1100m at Echuca February 16. Kokonda had her measure comfortably at latest jumpout, so place claims best.

Filly by Toronado on debut. Finished sixth in a Echuca trial over 1400m on February 16. Trials suggest she'll be better over further, later.

Three-year-old filly by leading sire So You Think out of Black Tulip. L & T Corstens & W Larkin has her ready for this with five recent trials prior to her debut today. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Flemington on February 13. Finished off nicely, albeit under a ride, in latest jumpout but prefer to see under race conditions.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Savabeel out of Cashmere. Finished fourth in a Caulfield Heath jump-out on February 11. Jumpouts have been adequate, but stable can produce a first-starter and has drawn well, so watch market.

At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind High On The Hill carrying 56kg at $16. Will better for the debut and suited up to this trip, so improvement expected.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Colac Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1600m, 2 len behind Valiant Sun carrying 59kg at $9. The start before that 9th of 11 at Camperdown Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1600m, 6 len behind Almago carrying 58kg at $5.50. Back in trip here but hard to tip with confidence on what we've seen.
