Hi all and welcome to lovely Victoria where we have a fairly good day of racing. The weather is getting colder and that will probably mean many people will stay inside, but for those who come out they will enjoy themselves. Today I will focus on the Imperial Habitat Turf Mare Stayer over 3200m where we have a quality field of 4. I believe any horse could win this, it will just be a matter of who hadles the conditions best.<\/p>\n

Five year old mare by DALAKHANI who is the favourite here today. She has not finished worse than second place for over a year now and has been rested before this run. Hasn’t won at this class yet but is yet to miss a place, and this will be her first start beyond 2800m. Her first 3 starts were at this track but failed to find the placings and connections are hoping that G Adler can break her bad run here. Will put in a good run and will be hard to beat.<\/p>\n

Four year old filly by SEA THE STARS who is third favourite here. She is stepping up in class here today but has had a win at the distance. Hard to believe she was claimed for 75k, but has done so well for skunkwork2. In a small field like this anything could happen and don’t be surprised if she gets up.<\/p>\n
PP#3 ROUGE CHAPEAU IRE 5F natchilus4 CC Johnson $1.8

Five year old mare by HIGH CHAPARRAL who is the second favourite here today. You must forget her last start in India where she obviously got stuck in the mud. Her record at the distance and class is by far the best of the field. Look for her to get back early but will stretch those big legs and come home strongly. She’s a big threat here nd I bet all her previous owners are kicking themselves for letting her go. <\/p>\n
PP#4 BENT SHAFT IRE 4F mercuri A Snappa $4
Starts: 16:4-6-2
Money Earned: $147,090
Distance Starts: 1:0-1-0

Ranking: 378
Best speed and distance: 99 @ 2800m
Last 5 Starts: 21421<\/p>\n
Four year old filly by DUBAWI who is the long shot of the race today. She hasn’t got the speed figures of the other 3 but isn’t far off. She is stepping up in class here and also a first start at the track. In these small fields you can’t dismiss anyone, but take her at your own risk. <\/p>\n
My tips:
PP#3 ROUGE CHAPEAU
PP#2 WIND ROSE
PP#1 REGION<\/p>\n
