Armidale Race 1

Wallace Constructions Mdn Hcp

Stake: $19,680

PLATINUM CARD (3) is the one to beat with the benefit of a first-up run and a 3kg apprentice claim to help offset a plain Tamworth return. She was unwanted there and only battled, but this is a small Maiden and her heavy-track debut at Inverell suggested there was enough there to work with. EVER EVOLVING (1) has no race or recent trial evidence, yet barrier two gives him a clean starting point and he has to be respected in a race lacking depth, even with 59kg. HAVACHATHARRY (4) brings the clearer debut setup of the newcomers, with a trial at Inverell last week, blinkers on for the first time and a 3kg claim from barrier one. VELOCE VIXEN (5) was beaten nine and a half lengths on debut at Warren after being steadied shortly after the start, so she has a case to improve fresh, but her exposed race form still leaves her with ground to make up.

Debuts from a low draw with no recent trial evidence supplied, so the market may be the best guide to immediate readiness. The stable's debut record is modest, with one placing from six starters, and he carries the 59kg topweight at his first public race appearance. Carries 59kg on debut and profiles as a place hope in a thin maiden.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing second last at Sunshine Coast, where he was well beaten and never improved from the rear. His better reference is the Gold Coast fourth two back, beaten a length and a half after covering ground, although he was unwanted in the market there. Gold Coast fourth gives him some hope, but the latest run was poor.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME

Comments

Has the run under the belt after finishing last at Tamworth, beaten just over four lengths, when close enough on the turn but unable to quicken and racing keenly in the straight. That first-up run was plain, but she strips fitter, the 3kg apprentice claim is a genuine positive, and blinkers come off today. This is within reach.

Blinkers FIRST TIME, Lugging Bit FIRST TIME [Blinkers]

Comments

Makes his debut with a trial at Inverell last week, finishing fourth over 1050m, which at least gives him recent public practice. The blinkers go on for the first time and the 3kg apprentice claim helps from barrier 1. Barrier 1 gives him a sound place profile.

Cross-over Nose Band OFF FIRST TIME

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after a debut ninth at Warren, where she was steadied shortly after the start but was still beaten nine and a half lengths at big odds. That interference offers some excuse, though she was unable to make ground once settled rearward. Can improve, but the exposed form asks for a fair lift.

Equicast OFF FIRST TIME [Blinkers]

Comments

Returns from an eight-month break after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds without a clear excuse. His prior second at Walcha was better, but it came in a small field and he remains a maiden after eight starts. The Walcha second helps, but his latest run at this track was well below the mark.
