Mudgee Race 3 - Friday Frenzie Mcgrath Central 24-04 2026 Mdn Hcp
MARINERA (6) has not raced since leading for home but knocking up late on debut in heavy going at Warwick Farm last May. Has transferred to the Brett Robb yard and not been produced in any recent trials. Looks the one on face value but the betting will paint a fuller picture. FIERCENESS (2) returns from a 196-day spell and has been gelded. Opened last prep with a very good third over 1000m at Kembla before the form deteriorated. The talent is there and his recent op may bring out the best. THE MAGNET (8) was lining up for the third time when a distance third over 1000m at Wyong eight days ago. Fitter and right in contention. VERY SIRIUS (10) disappointed on debut last start but deserves another chance.

At the latest run second last of 8 at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn on March 17 over 1100m, 6 len behind Frostisen with 57.5kg at $12. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn-Sw on March 7 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Blue Suede Hooves carrying 59kg at $16. Worth another chance dropping back to a country maiden.

Resuming off 11 months break after having had one race start. At debut last start ran last in a small field at Warwick Farm Super 2yo Mdn on May 21 over 1100m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Change My Address with 54.5kg at $3.50. Had four recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial fourth at Randwick in a 1045m trial on September 26. Launching this prep in a far easier race and looks the one they have to beat.

Third-up today. First-up second last in a small field at Gosford Super Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Stubborn Emmelie with 54.5kg at $2.10.

Previously second-up second last of 11 at Newcastle F&M Mdn-Sw on September 20 over 1250m, 5.5 len behind Vexxy carrying 55.5kg at $151. Still early in the prep and might need more time.
