Mornington Race 3 - Betavet Mdn Plate
PINAMILLOY (8) brings the strongest exposed profile, having placed in all three starts and twice from two attempts around 1000m. His close second at Cranbourne on heavy ground and third at Ballarat Synthetic before the break read well for this, and three trials since, including a close second at Sandown-Hillside, suggest he is forward enough to take beating. CAPITAL STORM (5) was beaten as a well-supported favourite on debut at Sale, though he may not have handled the track. He's jumped out well since and Lane going on is a big push for his chances. Can make a statement. A STERN ANGEL (2) is the key debut runner after winning a Flemington trial for the Hayes boys, whose first-starter record gives him a solid base. Drawn well and won't be far away. AERIAL PURSUIT (3) was held up before chasing into fourth at Yarra Valley and can feature with that run under his belt. KENSINGTON (12) can feature on debut with the aid of an inside barrier.

Returns after two months following a plain first-up run at Warrnambool, where he began slowly, finished last and was beaten just under eight lengths after being near the top of an open market. His Wangaratta fourth before that was more encouraging, making ground when beaten two and a half lengths. Has placed at 1000m, but recent form and top weight make this a tough task.

Makes his debut with a tidy lead-up, having won a Flemington trial after an earlier fourth in the same trial series. The Ben, Will & JD Hayes yard has a solid first-starter record, and the trainer-sire combination also has useful strike-rate figures. Drawn nicely and can play a leading role.

Finished fourth in a Mdn at Yarra Valley first-up, beaten a length and a half, and the run had merit after he was held up passing the 200m before chasing soundly. He was safely held on debut at Bendigo when well found in the market, so improvement still has to be confirmed. Has the race fitness and a strong showing is on the cards.

Debuts off a recent Cranbourne trial win, which gives him a sound starting point for a 1000m maiden. He was a $26,000 yearling purchase and comes from a family with multiple winners, including Fasuto and Sakasu. Forward enough to be a place hope.

Returns after five months since a debut Mdn at Sale where he led as a well-supported favourite but weakened to finish last, beaten just over six lengths on heavy ground. That was a disappointing race-day start, though his trial file is stronger, with multiple wins before a latest unplaced Pakenham trial. Didn't handle the heavy going on debut but can make amends here.

Had some excuse at the Bool last start after racing wide throughout and being steadied late, but he was still beaten just over nine lengths as an outside chance in betting. His previous Mdn run at Echuca was also plain, finishing last in a small field. First-time blinkers and visor can help, but he must find more.

Returns after five months with the most reliable exposed form in the race, having placed at all three starts and twice from two runs around 1000m. He was third in a Mdn at Ballarat Synthetic before the break after racing wide, following a long-neck second at Cranbourne on heavy ground. Looks set for a strong showing first-up.

Returns after eight months following a debut at Werribee where she jumped awkwardly, settled well back and finished ninth, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. Four trials this time in, including a latest third at Sandown-Hillside, should have advanced her fitness. Four trials help, but she has plenty to find from a wide draw.

Starts her racing career after two recent trial seconds, the latest a close effort at Mortlake, so there is at least some readiness in the profile. Her dam has produced several winners, headed by Extra Mile, but there is no race form to measure her against this field. Race-day proof is the missing piece.

Comes to the races as a NZ$80,000 purchase for the Clinton McDonald stable, which has a respectable first-starter record. Her recent Cranbourne trials have been educational rather than eye-catching, but the trainer-sire combination has returned strong figures from limited runners. Trials only fair, but the profile earns place respect.

Draws barrier 1 for her debut and gets Jamie Melham, which are useful advantages for a first starter. Her trial sequence has been quiet overall, though she has had five hit-outs and comes from a half-sibling line that includes Wangi Wangi, a debut winner over 1100m. Looks to have found a suitable race on debut.

Returns after five months following two heavy-track runs that were well below the mark, finishing second last at Sale and second last in a Ballarat Mdn. She was big odds in both and offered little late, while her record around 1000m shows no placings from three attempts. Not here.
