Pakenham Race 4 - Ladbrokes Future Stars Series - Heat 7 Mdn Plate
GENERAL BLU (4) looks the one to beat. He debuted at Geelong over 1125m and ran an eye-catching second, drawing wide there and getting right back to last before rattling home to be beaten a nose. He gets the golden switch to barrier two here and will take a power of beating. SPARKLING LUCK (8) resumes. He showed good ability in his debut campaign and has trialled well leading in. He can roll forward here and measure up with natural improvement. DAMA ROYALE (10) has placed in both runs back from a spell over 1000m at Cranbourne. Up to 1200m should suit now and she can take this out. BRADFORD (1) was just fair in a similar race here fresh but should be fitter and can improve. CLANSMAN (3) is a Flying Artie gelding on debut for the Moloney yard who has trialled well leading in and can figure.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 1112m, 2 len behind Sussex Duchess with 58kg at $4.80. The run before that from last on the turn 5th of 8 at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Celestial Splendor with 58kg at $4.60. Racing well but has become a bit costly.

John Moloney trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Winner of his most recent trial. Looks to have ability and may be worth keeping safe.

At debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 10 at Geelong 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 20 over 1125m, nose behind Superliv carrying 58kg at $9. Excellent debut and will be very hard to hold out here.

Jumped at long odds at debut, from last on the turn ran last of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 8 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Per Favore with 58kg at $41. Better for that run but prefer to see him again.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Astern out of Linguist. At the most recent trial finished sixth on January 29 at Caulfield Heath over 1000m. Unplaced in recent trials and would need a strong push.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 3 over 1000m, 0.6 len behind Blue Akoya with 56kg at $3. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Migliorare with 56kg at $4.20. Racing well. Shows ability and can figure prominently here.
