Mornington Race 3 - Peninsula Kubota Mdn Plate
VALEDICTORIAN (6) has had a few chances but continues to race well, off a short let up for this. He was beaten just two lengths when last seen at Geelong in a handy maiden and with a bit more time under his belt, and residual fitness on his side, he can get the job done. KINGS COMMISSION (1) resumes. He's a relation to Black Caviar (out of the great mare's first foal, Oscietra) who showed glimpses in two runs last time in. He's off a long break, watch the betting. INSPIRING (5) is an Impending gelding on debut for the Eurell yard who has jumped out well and can win. FUNDAMENTAL NATURE (10) is an Exceedance filly for the Ciaron Maher yard who has also jumped out nicely and has been met with early support, wary.

Resuming after a 15 months break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at Canterbury Super Mdn-Sw September 18 2024 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Amelita carrying 57kg at $21. On debut fourth of 11 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw August 29 2024 over 1100m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Escarpa with 58kg at $17. This is an ideal race to kick off. Has shown ability, wary from the good draw.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; second last of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on November 27 over 1500m, 10 len behind Triple Time with 58kg at $26. Before that led to the turn then faded 7th of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on November 13 over 1411m, 5.5 len behind Hot Blue with 59.5kg at $71. Prefer to see him back in form.
