Pakenham Race 3 - O'connor - Australia's Finest Beef Mdn Plate
LOFT VEGA (9) looks well placed. She was firm in betting on debut over this track and distance, beaten 1.5 lengths into third without the best of luck in a handy maiden. She can only improve off that and draws well here in what looks a winnable affair. BLUE BLUE DAY (1) has been okay in two runs to date, not far away at Bendigo last time over 1300m with the rise in trip to suit. He can continue to progress. FRENCH GIFT (2) resumes having shown some ability in two runs last time in, the debut behind a smart one when sent out favourite at Traralgon especially solid. He can roll forward from a wide gate and give a sight. HURRY UP POPPY (7) made good improvement at her second start and won't need to do so much more to be figuring prominently. SEINFELD (4) is a well-named gelding by King Of Comedy on debut for the Douglas yard who can run well.

At the latest run did the work up front then tired second last of 8 at this track F Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Let Lily Loose with 55kg at $51. Before that 4th in a small field at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Geeseven carrying 53kg at $31. Hard to see her turning it around enough to feature here.
