Yarra Valley Race 1 - Manhari Mdn Plate
AERIAL PURSUIT (1) comes from a very strong stable of young horses and while poor on his debut, there appears there were genuine excuses. He was in the market there and so after two trials, it is easy to believe he will stake a strong claim from the low gate. EXACTING STANDARD (2) has been prepared for this with numerous trials. It would not be hard for him to do more given the maidens he contested were of decent standard. CONFIDENTIAL GIRL (4) is from a white hot yard who knock up winning races. They have taken their time with her so the fact they are now kicking off suggests she is ready. MADAME PETITE (5) could well be a knock out chance. Bred to have some speed. Market best with her. SKYBLOCK (6) has the blinkers straight on. Gets the inside first time which can't hurt.
