EXPANDING POWER (7)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has been thereabouts this preparation and gets winkers applied for the first time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son of\u00a0Doubtland\u00a0settled near the rear in a slowly run\u00a01400m\u00a0maiden at Sale last start before making good late ground in the straight.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He produced the fastest final\u00a0200m\u00a0of the race, suggesting the rise in distance will be to his advantage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lachie Neindorf takes the ride and, in a small field where he should be able to settle closer to the speed, he can make his presence\u00a0felt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 3 – Core Protective Group Maiden Plate (1200 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 2 Blue Shield <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

BLUE SHIELD (2)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has done little wrong in three starts to date and looks close to breaking through after consecutive runner-up finishes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Price & Kent Jnr-trained gelding\u00a0fought on\u00a0well in testing conditions at Mornington last start, finishing just three-quarters of a length from the winner over\u00a01200m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He has finished second at his past two starts and now gets blinkers applied for the first time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lachie Neindorf\u00a0retains\u00a0the ride and, with the benefit of race experience over most of his rivals, he rates as the horse to beat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 4 – Springvale RSL Maiden Plate (2025 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 9 Seinfeld<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SEINFELD (9)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has shown promise in two starts to date and appears well placed to break through at his third race-day appearance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Clayton\u00a0Douglas-trained gelding found the front at Seymour last start and fought on strongly to finish three-quarters of a length from the winner over\u00a01600m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That effort suggests the rise in distance here will\u00a0suit\u00a0and he should strip fitter with two runs under his belt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Stackhouse\u00a0retains\u00a0the ride and, if he can control the race from the front again, there may be no soup for his rivals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

NEARCO FROD (1)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0resumed with an encouraging effort at Pakenham last start and looks well placed to go close here.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained gelding was beaten less than half a length over\u00a02000m\u00a0on a Heavy track after a lengthy absence from the races.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was his first start as a\u00a0gelding\u00a0and he should strip fitter for the outing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jackson Radley claims 2kg and he should enjoy a soft run from the low draw.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
