Race Tip
KATHY'S ROSE (14) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when second over 5f at Bendigo. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHOWTIME KISTENA (13) is racing well including a last start third over 6f at Wagga. Must be respected. WELLSPRING (17) finished third last time over 5f at Wangaratta, beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. LUNAR MOJO (5) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 5½f at Benalla. Looks up to the mark following a trial win at Albury. Has ability and is worth including.

First starter by Magnus out of Morning Mood. Runner-up in a trial at Benalla over 5f February 17. Should get all the favours from this good gate so well worth keeping safe first time out.

Mare by Shamoline Warrior on debut. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Runner-up in a Benalla trial over 5f on February 17. Should be primed to run well despite an awkward draw.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Benalla 3yo Maiden Set Weights November 10 over 5½f, 7 lengths behind Flitgrove with 9st2lb at 11/2. On debut fifth of 11 at this track Maiden Set Weights October 26 over 4½f, 2.5 lengths behind Strummer with 9st at 14/1. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Has ability and is sure to have come on over the break.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Hellbent out of Sicilian Miss. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 4f at Goulburn February 11. Watch for any market confidence.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Tassort out of Mulhimah. Fifth over 5f in a Benalla trial on February 17. Wide stall will make it tough.

Three-year-old filly having first start by first season sire Showtime out of Somethingvain. Was second in a 5f trial on June 4 at Doomben then followed up with a eighth over 5f in a Doomben trial on November 19. Others look stronger.

At debut, ran last of 8 at Stony Creek 3yo Maiden Set Weights on December 30 over 5½f, 12 lengths behind Kamezali with 8st11lb at 20/1. Out of her depth again.

Four-year-old gelding (Choisir - Zedina Lady) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in this debut. Won a stall trial trial over 3f at Wangaratta on January 23. Happy to watch this time.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Magnus out of Champagne Sisters. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 4½f at Albury February 11. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.
