Wangaratta Race 3 - Andrew Dale - Wtc Trainer Of The Year Mdn Plate
CHA CHING KING (10) looks the one to beat off an encouraging debut here over this trip, in the market but just finding one better in a strong effort. Better for that and will be very hard to run down. MISS NAVRATILOVA (7) resumes having shown ability last time in, just finding one who won well on debut. Drawn nicely here and should be strong late. NAUGHTY JAMIE (8) has been thereabouts in two runs to date, switching to synthetic last time when third. Can improve again and take beating. SOME COMFORT (9) is a mare by Villermont on debut for the local Craig Weeding yard. She's won a jumpout and is worth respecting. BOURDETO (5) has been okay this time in and could improve.

On debut second last of 10 at Echuca 3yo Mdn-Sw March 8 over 1200m, 10 len behind Baganov carrying 58kg at $41. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 10 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Murray Bridge on July 17 over 1100m, slow going 2 len behind Amical with 55.5kg at $9. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 6 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Face The Wild with 57.5kg at $21. Heading the right way and should go close.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 31 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Russian Sky with 57kg at $3.60. Should come on following that outing and looks a great chance to break through.
