Race Overview

COUNTEROFFENSIVE (2) resumed in the G3 Chairman's Stakes and stuck on okay behind impressive Blue Diamond fancy Coleman. He'll strip fitter for that and the stables juveniles are going well. Looks one of the better hopes. The big watch is CHAMPAGNE TONIGHT (9) who won her latest jump out by a huge space at Pakenham. Not sure how to line her up. Late betting will be key. AARDVARK (3) resumes having run quite well on debut, also behind Coleman with Arabian Summer in second. Suited to the 1100m first up, if he's improved he'll go close. EJECT (6) is a Street Boss colt on debut for the Freedman yard. He's looked smart at the trials and jump outs and a big run wouldn't surprise at all. PRO FORMA (4) won at $1.20 on debut at Canberra. Much harder here but must respect the stable.

My Pick

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start with blinkers first time; ran last of 15 at Gold Coast in the LR Mm 2yo Classic on January 13 over 1200m, 26 len behind Storm Boy carrying 57kg at $19. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Doomben 2yo Hcp December 30 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Defiant Boom with 59kg at $1.50. Rough chance.
