This is a step up in class for Test A Day, but she was an impressive last-start winner and has claims again.
The Testafiable mare rarely returns a poor effort, but her performance over a mile at a half at Bendigo last time out was particularly impressive, and she’ll get some relief in the weights this afternoon.
This looms as one of the more open races on the card, and I think that enhances Test A Day’s chances.
Little Caleb will take winning form into the sixth at Swan Hill today and can continue his rise through the grades.
The Magnus gelding finished second in four-consecutive races before stepping out at Tatura last time out, and he was rewarded for his consistency with a near six-length win.
This is obviously harder, but it’s hard to ignore how dominant he was last time out, and it does look the next logical step for him.
Wasabi doesn’t win out of turn, but she has returned some lovely efforts this time and I think that this looks a winnable race for her.
The Dream Ahead mare did take a few to get going when she resuming, but she has continued to improve with each effort, and was last seen fillings the minors in BM58 company here at Swan Hill.
She’s rock-hard fit, drawn and weighted well, and Campbell Rawiller retains the ride.
Darci’s Tune has stripped fitter for three starts this time and is ready to win at Swan Hill this afternoon.
The four-year-old son of Darci Brahma hasn’t placed in his three appearances, but he hasn’t been far away, and there’s no doubt that his run over a mile at Echuca last time was the best of his campaign to date.
Any improvement on that effort would see him into the finish of something like this.
