Kyneton Race 4 - Macedon Ranges Ag Machinery Mdn Plate
CONFLICT (2) resumes here after filling minor placings at his only three runs in the debut prep and there has been a lot to like about the way he's jumped out ahead of the return. Was beaten by PLAYFUL AS, who is a rival here, at the latest but CONFLICT looked to have a lot more up his sleeve that day. ZOUSOUTH (10) disappointed last start at Werribee, when beaten over 4 lengths, but was very good when second the start prior and, importantly, has the ability to make use of the gun draw. Respecting all of the first starters. SINGAPORE SPLASH (8) wasn't knocked around at his first jumpout this time in but dominated on-speed at the most recent and can make an early impression here. PLAYFUL AS (13) has the gate to ensure he'll be prominent early, which has him in contention. SUN DEVIL (9) is in good hands and has been given three jumpouts this time in so he won't be wanting for fitness.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw November 20 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Hi Val carrying 58kg at $3.90. On debut second of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw October 17 over 1000m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Choir Point with 58kg at $14. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Raced consistently last prep and has trialled up well ahead of the return.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation tenth of 13 at Geelong Mdn-Sw September 25 over 1440m, 5 len behind Thinxzo with 59.5kg at $101. On debut fifth of 12 at Sale Mdn-Sw August 17 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Unifies with 59.5kg at $8.50. Should have come on from the debut prep and jumpouts have been adequate.

Raced twice to date. At debut, failed to make an impression; 6th of 8 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on January 15 over 1000m, 8 len behind Gaeilge carrying 56kg at $19. Second-up 6th of 8 at Moe Mdn-Sw on February 22 over 1000m, 4 len behind Bruiser Murphy carrying 59kg at $14. Has plenty of upside and can play a feature role.

Third-up today. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Resuming rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1114m, 1.0 len behind Pure Silk carrying 58kg at $7.50. Last start led to the turn then faded 6th of 8 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 1018m, 4 len behind Discreet Point carrying 59kg at $4.60. Disappointing last start but deserves another chance off the good first-up run.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 10 at Wangaratta 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 18 over 1170m, 1.5 len behind Silver Top Ridge with 57.5kg at $8. Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading 9th of 14 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1300m, 4 len behind Vim Vitae carrying 57.5kg at $13. Great chance to atone from the good draw.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Astern out of Playful Miss. Won a jump-out at Pakenham on February 24. Beat Conflict at latest jumpout (albeit under a harder ride) and can take advantage of the gun draw.
