Races MRB St Arnaud

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on July 31 over 1200m, on a slow track; 28 len behind Royal Duck carrying 59.5kg at $151. Second-up ran second last of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Kilmore on September 13 over 1600m, slow going 9 len behind Earthly Crown carrying 59.5kg at $151. Not much to like about his prospects.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Endless Fury carrying 59.5kg at $21. Before that 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Hwgt at Warrnambool on October 1 over 1700m, slow going 7 len behind Enchilada carrying 69.5kg at $101. Will find less depth here If he can settle closer this time he will prove hard to hold out.

Raced twice to date. At big odds at debut, 8th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on September 19 over 1312m, 5.5 len behind Spex with 59.5kg at $26. Second-up sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 4 over 1500m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Certainly Quiet with 59.5kg at $41. Looking elsewhere.

Last start ran second last of 10 in a Mdn-Hwgt at Warrnambool on October 1 over 1700m, slow going 14 len behind Enchilada carrying 67.5kg at $6.50. The start before that 5th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on September 3 over 1700m, on rain affected going; 2.75 len behind Le Plus Rapide carrying 57.5kg at $3.90. Capable of much better performance now at peak fitness.

Third-up today. Resuming 7th of 10 in a Mdn-Hwgt at Warrnambool on October 1 over 1700m, slow going 13 len behind Enchilada with 67.5kg at $31. Second-up 5th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 2000m, 5 len behind Endless Fury with 57.5kg at $11. Likely improver and is expected to measure up.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Avoca on October 17 over 1860m, 1.3 len behind Lollie's Galore carrying 56kg at $7. Before that 7th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on September 19 over 2112m, 4 len behind Precambrian with 57.5kg at $7.50. Looks to have the right form and Yendall on a big plus.

Having second run back today. Last start did the work up front then tired ran last of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 17 over 1600m, 15 len behind Zovozo with 57.5kg at $101. At only start last preparation ran second last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 11 over 1500m, 11 len behind Quick Finish with 57.5kg at $26. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start settled back and ran on when 7th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 2000m, 6 len behind Endless Fury with 54.5kg at $101. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on September 14 over 1600m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Just My Lot with 57.5kg at $101. Struggling to make a case.

Last start got back early 8th of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 17 over 1600m, 8 len behind Quynh carrying 58kg at $101. Before that 10th of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on September 30 over 1400m, 7 len behind So Royal with 57kg at $101. Will need to do a bit more.

Had two starts to date. At debut, ran second last of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on September 14 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind High Falls carrying 58kg at $13. Last start 7th of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on October 10 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Moving Point carrying 57kg at $61. Heading the right way and looks ready to win in a race of this nature.

Last start 5th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Horsham on October 18 over 2100m, 5 len behind Little Ally Bama with 54.5kg at $91. The race before that 6th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Donald on September 12 over 1620m, 5.5 len behind Philharmonic carrying 54.5kg at $101. Has been racing well. Should make her own luck on speed and advantaged by the inside gate.

Last start ran second last of 9 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Halidon on October 11 over 1380m, 10 len behind Veloce Girl with 54kg at $201. The race before that ran last of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Pooncarie on September 19 over 1200m, 17 len behind Le Glacon with 54kg at $26. Looks safely held.
