Wangaratta Race 3 - Mason Park Funerals Mdn Plate
BRILLIANT BULL ANT (1) is better judged on the Bendigo second two back than his Seymour failure, with the return to 1300m no issue on his place record. He should be right there despite a wide gate. MOVE IT (13) debuts for the Anthony & Sam Freedman yard who strike well with their newcomers. Trials have been sound, expecting a solid performance. FOXTROT CHARLIE (2) has been going okay, off a freshen for this having run well at Cranbourne last time out to grab fourth behind Hierarchy who is running in the Derby on Saturday. This suits better. AQUAFY (12) is an Ocean Park gelding who can run well on debut, watch betting.

Put in a plain one at Seymour last start when second last, beaten ten lengths, after racing keenly and being steadied before laying out from the 500m. His Bendigo second the start prior reads much better, closing strongly after beginning slowly to be beaten two lengths by Clux Star in a Mdn. Should bounce back to form and that gives him a genuine hope.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a sound fourth at Cranbourne, beaten just over two lengths by Hierarchy at big odds in metro company. He had every chance there after tracking the speed, while his Mornington seventh before that included early ground covered and interference near the 400m. Easier company helps and he can figure in the minor money.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a fourth at this track, beaten just under three lengths when near the top of betting. He had also run fourth at Wagga, making nice late ground from well back. The Wodonga trials were mixed, though an earlier placing suggests there is something to build on. Honest form last campaign give him a place hope if ready.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing seventh in a Class 1 at Griffith, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back he was also well held at Warracknabeal, despite being held up passing the 400m. Class 1 drop and a close trial help, but recent race form is hard to recommend.

Was last at Cranbourne first-up, beaten just under ten lengths after sitting handy and failing to launch any challenge. His previous run before the break was a much better third at the Heath, beaten a length and a half after jumping awkwardly and being steadied late. Sharp improvement required.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain second-last finish on the Pakenham Synthetic at the end of last campaign, beaten eight and a half lengths without an excuse. Her Bendigo third before that was more competitive, finishing two lengths from Jawsome Rob in a Mdn after covering ground. Bendigo placing is the form she has to find again.

Worked home fairly when fourth at Mildura first-up, beaten five and a half lengths after being held up near the 200m. Her debut at Warrnambool also had merit despite finishing eighth, as she was beaten only three and a half lengths and was tightened for room. Lightly raced and drawn well, she can push for a minor prize.

Makes his debut after four trials, the latest at Flemington two weeks ago, so there is at least a grounding for race day. His family offers some encouragement, with Lawborough and Precious Charm both winning on debut and Precious Charm a city winner. Interesting background and could surprise.

Debuts for Anthony & Sam Freedman after four trials, most recently a close second at Mornington, which is the clearest readiness pointer among the first starters. The stable's debut figures are solid, with 14 wins from 82 starters and a 44% place rate, and Damien Thornton takes the ride. Lacks race experience, but profiles as the pick of the newcomers for the top yard.

Was well beaten on debut at Seymour, finishing second last in a Mdn at big odds after settling just off the lead and failing to go on. There was no clear excuse in the run, and although she had earlier trial experience, race pressure found her out badly first time. Barrier one helps a touch, but she has plenty to find.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a debut tenth at Ballarat, beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. She was held up from the 200m after settling rearward, so the margin does not tell the full story, and she has since trialled at Mornington. Some improvement is possible, but the main hopes look stronger.

Comes here on a one-week back-up after finishing fifth at Wodonga, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds, with stewards noting she raced wide throughout. She did pick up nicely from the back, which was better than her Ballarat seventh as a 151.0 chance. First try at 1300m and still looking for a bigger finish.
