Mornington Race 7 - The Devilbend Golf Course (Bm70)
SKETCH (9) looks very well placed in the final event. Going through her form- she started $2.20 (3rd) behind subsequent G1 VRC Oaks winner Strictly Business three back, then broke her maiden nicely at Caulfield Heath over 1600m. She was tested in the Listed Twilight Glow Stakes last time at Caulfield and wasn't beaten far carrying 56kg and now drops to just 52.5kg after the claim in a BM70, albeit against the older horses and males. This looks ideal placement and she rates well. MACEDON ROSE (5) can be forgiven on the wet ground at Pakenham last time which was heavier than advertised. She was a $3 chance there off a good win prior and can bounce back. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (6) continues to race well, finding the line for third at Caulfield Heath last time. Big each-way chance again. BLAZING HARRY (1) is going well behind some handy ones and he's well suited this grade. RUSSIAN FRONT (8) is racing well and a minor hope again.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Pakenham Bm70 on November 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Knobelas carrying 60.5kg at $11. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Kyneton Bm70 on November 5 over 1454m, in the wet; 8 len behind Grid Girl carrying 60.5kg at $5. Going quite well and should be thereabouts.

Second-up. First-up after three months second last of 9 at Cranbourne Bm66 on December 5 over 1300m, 6 len behind Regal Tycoon carrying 61.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Kilmore Bm58 on January 24 over 1604m, 5.5 len behind Savilla carrying 61.5kg at $4.20. No easier this time and not likely to threaten.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading to run last of 9 at Pakenham Bm70 on November 28 over 1600m, slow going 14 len behind Eye For An Eye with 57.5kg at $3. The race before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3.5 len at Seymour Bm62 November 13 over 1600m defeating Materazzi carrying 59kg at $1.80. Forgive last time, form prior was good for this.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Cranbourne Bm66 on December 5 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind Regal Tycoon with 58kg at $7.50. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track Cg&E Bm62 on November 27 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Rosa Aotearoa carrying 60kg at $9. No easier but drawn well and is an each way hope.

At the latest run did the work up front then tired 5th of 8 at Caulfield in the LR Twilight Glow on November 29 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Ruska Roma with 56kg at $17. The race before that won by 0.8 len at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw November 12 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Icaro carrying 56kg at $1.65. Not far away last time. Drops in class and weight which sees her very well placed.

At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Balnarring Pic-Trpy December 6 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Little Richie Turf carrying 69.5kg at $3.70. The run before that led to the turn then faded second last of 8 at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm66 on November 19 over 1600m, 6 len behind Enchanted Jenni with 54kg at $61. This is far too difficult.
