Wyong Race 1 - Api Engineering Mdn Plate
VALENTIAGO (5) frustrating gelding who can shed his Maiden tag fifth-up today. Expect to see him race a touch closer after he attacked the line strongly when second over 1500m at Goulburn. Hard to hold out. SHAWNEE BOY (4) near his peak for this third-up and gets a much better set up today. Taken back from the wide gate and never looked a genuine threat with a plugging eighth over 1350m at this track. Sharp improver over this distance range and sure to be thereabouts. MOUNTAIN QUEEN (7) resumed in a three-horse race with a game second in the heavy (9) going at Nowra. Another who will appreciate the extra trip with top-three claims. SO D'ORO (8) returned off the two trials with a handy fifth from near last on the turn over 1350m at this track. Will race closer and shapes as one of the leading prospects.

Second-up. First start faded in the straight 6th of 11 at Newcastle F&M Mdn-Sw on September 20 over 1250m, 2.5 len behind Vexxy carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. Returned from break 5th of 11 at this track Super Mdn-Sw on February 10 over 1350m, slow going 3.5 len behind Providence with 56.5kg at $13. Strips fitter and looking for this trip and further.
