He has made just one appearance at the races so far, but Tributo looks to have plenty of ability, and he can break his maiden at Benalla this afternoon.
The Capitalist gelding was settled back in the field at Ararat on debut and mustered a nice turn of foot to fill the minors behind Tranquil Bay.
He’ll improve for that experience and begin his rise through the grades today.
Mischinka takes winning form into Race 6 at Benalla today and looks well placed to strike again.
The Redente gelding has recorded two wins and as many minors from his four starts back this time, but it is fair to say that his win in a race similar to this one here at Benalla last time was his best performance.
He’s rock-hard fit and with even luck, I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish again.
Judge Jeanine will relish a big drop in class at Benalla today, and she can return to winning form.
The Shamus Award mare returned some competitive performances on the country circuit earlier in her campaign, but was well beaten in a far better race at The Valley last time.
She gets some relief in the weights today under Kiran Quilty and is drawn to receive a lovely run.
Under The Dunes failed to fire when resuming, but she has plenty of talent, and she can bounce back at Benalla this afternoon.
The Under The Louvre filly was excellent during her debut prep, breaking her maiden at Mornington and finishing second in races at Ballarat and Warrnambool.
She strips fitter today and looks well placed under Michael Poy.
