Mudgee Race 2 - Manly Sea Eagles Country Boosted Mdn Hcp

Plenty of chances in an open race. FLYING TRUFFLES (5) filled a minor placing on debut over 1150m at the Beaumont track then stepped out over an extra furlong at the same circuit on Monday and struggled. Like her coming back to 1200m with blinkers on. Big chance to break through. GYRA (6) closed well to finish second, 1.7 lengths ahead of FLYING TRUFFLES, when she last raced 19 days ago over 1150m at the Beaumont. Has less scope for improvement than today's rival but on that effort is clearly a key runner. THE CONTRACTOR (2) is progressing well in two runs this prep, the latest effort a close second over this distance at Dubbo. Draws a decent gate for a change and is capable of fully testing this field. FORTIANS (8) has been beaten less than a length at his last two runs, both over 1000m. Still a maiden after 16 runs so each-way the best option. VELKA (3) improved with the step up in distance last time out. Very fit and right in contention.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 10 at Dubbo Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1018m, 2 len behind Star Whisperer carrying 57.5kg at $7. Second run from a spell tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Dubbo Mdn on February 2 over 1200m, long-neck behind Vicious Rumour carrying 58kg at $5.50. Fitter now and making headway. Heading the right way and looks tough to beat in this line-up.

The race before that 5th of 11 at Port Macquarie Mdn on January 23 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Dirty Does It with 56kg at $3.90. Not far away of late. Cherry ripe and looms as a serious contender.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Orange Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 9 over 1000m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind French Harp with 59kg at $8. The start before that 2nd of 9 at Dubbo Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 2 over 1000m, head behind Baron Of Butter carrying 59kg at $12. Not far away last start. Racing well this prep and should give a good account again.
