Race 2 – Go Seymour Go Nagambie 3YO Maiden Plate (1200 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 14 Youmzaa<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

YOUMZAA (14)<\/strong> showed plenty on debut at Bendigo, and natural second-up improvement can see her go one better.<\/p>\n

The Matt Lawrie-trained filly finished second over 1100m behind Over The Bridge.<\/p>\n

That form has since been franked, with Over The Bridge winning the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes.<\/p>\n

Drawn well, Youmzaa should be able to lead for Patrick Moloney and prove hard to catch.<\/p>\n

Race 4 – Godolphin Internship Program BM66 Handicap (2000 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 7 Melek<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

MELEK (7)<\/strong> looks ready to peak third-up after two runs back from a 39-week break.<\/p>\n

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding only just missed over this distance at Ballarat last start.<\/p>\n

Caught three-deep from a wide barrier, he did well to finish a neck from the winner.<\/p>\n

John Allen rides again, and a better run in transit can see Melek go one better.<\/p>\n

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 15 in a Bm70 at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1500m, slow going 6 len behind Veyepee with 57kg at $12. Last start 2nd of 14 in a Bm66 at Ballarat on September 18 over 2000m, nose behind Ragazzone with 59kg at $3.10. Rates highly. Looks ready to win from a good gate.<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div>

Race 6 – Bezzy Eldo BM62 Handicap (1000 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 14 Parcae<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PARCAE (14)<\/strong> made a winning debut over 1000m at Mornington, leading throughout to score by 2.5 lengths.<\/p>\n

The Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained filly had shown promise in jump-outs on soft and heavy ground before making her first race start.<\/p>\n

She stays at 1000m and should be suited by the trip again.<\/p>\n

Mick Dee can use his mount’s early speed to find a forward position and looks capable of building on that debut win.<\/p>\n

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; won by 2.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Mornington on September 17 over 1000m defeating Armorware carrying 55kg at $1.45. Far too good on debut and will be very hard to catch again.<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div>

STORM LEOPARD (11)<\/strong> is worth another chance after having genuine excuses when weakening at Flemington last start.<\/p>\n

The Team Hayes-trained gelding led before being affected by EIPH, then looked good in a trial following that run.<\/p>\n

He should strip fitter third-up and has plenty of class having won the Group 2 Tulloch Stakes and placed in the Group 1 Australian Derby last preparation.<\/p>\n

Drawn to enjoy a great run for Daniel Stackhouse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
