Yarra Valley Race 3 - Mounting Yard Diamond Mdn Plate

Shades of Sydney staying races with C J Waller loading the bases and his three all look to have chances. First emergency ROYAL OPTIMISM (11) put the writing on the wall first-up with an eye-catching performance. Would have won in another 10 metres and actually gets an extra 468m so should be tough to beat with luck in running. BORN SURVIVOR (1) fought on for second last start over 1600m at Hanging Rock, making it two minor placings in a row. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. GOLDEN MASK (2) ran a much-improved last start, which was here, so he obviously likes the track and can improve again. ANGEL FEET (4) can improve again here out in trip.

Recent form sound. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 13 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1856m, 2 len behind Our Pierro carrying 59.5kg at $8. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1600m, 6 len behind Ocean Symphony with 59.5kg at $8. Not far away last time. Shapes as one to consider.

Second-up. First-up after five months eased back early on 8th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 7 over 1500m, 7 len behind The Better Husband carrying 59kg at $4.80. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Canterbury Super Mdn on September 10 over 1550m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Officiate carrying 55kg at $18. Has some ground to make up on some rivals here but fitter and draws well.

Most recently 4th of 8 at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw on February 9 over 1800m, 4 len behind Best Time with 57.5kg at $18. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Stony Creek Mdn-Sw on January 18 over 1600m, slow going 2 len behind News Travels Fast carrying 57.5kg at $3.70. This notably easier than last start, so don't dismiss.

At the latest run 4th of 9 at Stony Creek Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 2100m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Saxon Blood carrying 57kg at $3.20. The race before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 14 at Moe Mdn-Sw on January 25 over 2050m, head behind Tassadar with 56kg at $13. Beaten a long way last start, but very good the start prior and at peak fitness now.
