Overraced early on, Awkwardly placed near 500m, Inconvenienced near 50m when 3-3/4 len, 1/2 len 3rd of 12 (1) $8.50 55.5 Bear Champ 1000m Werribee 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Apr 11. Went down fighting 3/4 len 2nd of 11 (5) $8.00 55.5 Mahmudah 1300m Seymour 4yo+ Mdn Plate Soft(5) Apr 26. Fresh. Form to date sound. Run down in the shadows after a giving a kick from on pace in the 4yo+ Mdn Plate at Seymour at last start this journey. Makes strong appeal.

Raced Greenly, Laid out near 400m, Vet Certificate required, Lame when 1 len 2nd of 11 (7) $9.50 57.0 Glisk 1243m Geelong 3yo F Mdn Plate Good(4) May 1. Now 4 weeks between runs. Left a decent impression on debut at Geelong when pushed out in the market 1 May. Has scope. Can have a major say.

Race comment

First Start. By Artie Schiller (USA) - Miss Cavatica. Late bloomer heading to the races for the first time without a public trial. Nice gate for first outing. Look for market support.

Shifted in at start when 4-1/2 len 4th of 9 (5) $51.00 57.0 Concord Connie 1200m Pakenham 3yo F Mdn Soft(5) Apr 9. Tried hard but no match 3/4 len, 2-1/2 len 3rd of 10 (6) $3.50 57.5 Onlooker 1200m Ballarat Mdn Plate Heavy(8) May 10. No threat to winner but ran on for the minors in rain affected ground at Ballarat second-up when in the market. Drawn favourably. Stripping fitter and right in this.

Race comment

First Start. By National Defense (GB) - Tea for Choux (NZ). First starter from the Shay Keating stable. Hasn't officially trialled. Gets a soft draw for first assignment. Market may prove a further guide to her early prospects.
