Pakenham Race 4

Shawn Mendis Lawyers Mdn Plate

Stake: $44,000

VIANARRA (6) returned from a twenty-week break with a game third over this course and distance last start after leading for home. Doesn't usually fire first-up so that was encouraging. Has had plenty of chances but looks ready to win. The unraced DANIEL BOONE (3) is the query runner. Won a 1300m Bendigo trial by nearly eight lengths in late March. Shinn to ride for the Hayes brothers - he returns a winner in every four rides for that stable. FACTCHECK (4) hasn't been far away in his three runs this prep, all at shorter journeys. Keen to see him get to 1400m for the first time. JENNI LA ROCK (9) found 1200m a bit sharp when resuming last start at Cranbourne. Suited getting out to this trip so in a race with little depth she is a strong top three hope. FEELING DUSTY (1) last appeared when beaten under a length over 1300m at Bendigo in December. Lightly raced four-year-old who probably leads and can give a bit of cheek while fresh.

Comments

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Bendigo Mdn-Sw December 3 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 0.8 len behind Lochlorian carrying 59.5kg at $12. On debut fifth of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw November 8 over 1200m, 6 len behind Miss Altair carrying 59.5kg at $26. Should be ready to run well.

Gelding by Puissance De Lune on debut. Finished fourth in a Mornington jump-out on March 19. Likely to struggle on what we have seen.

Hayes trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Spaced his opposition with big trial win at Bendigo recently. Good draw will assist chances. Looks to have his share of talent - keep a close eye on the betting.

Third-up today. Resuming second last in a small field at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Scampi with 59kg at $26. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 3 over 1200m, 6 len behind Zunna carrying 58kg at $151. Hard to have on that form.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after five months held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 27 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Belcony with 59kg at $2.25. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 18 over 1500m, on a slow track; head behind Too Darn Discreet with 58kg at $7. Back in good order and will be hard to beat.

Third race start. First start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 11 over 1000m, 4 len behind Vestas with 56kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo F Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Cherrabah carrying 57kg at $4.80. Promising filly expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Sale 3yo Mdn-Sw October 27 over 1400m, 12 len behind Tango Queen with 56kg at $61. On debut eighth of 14 at Sale Mdn-Sw October 9 over 1110m, soft track; 6 len behind Spring Air with 55kg at $26. Will take great benefit from this run.
