Yarra Valley Race 5

De Bortoli Hcp (56)

Prize Money: $22,000

GRACIOUS DIVA (4) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest effort a third over 1200m at Moe. The extra journey looks a positive step and drawn ideally, so a big run is likely. VAAFEE (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Cranbourne, finishing one length from the winner, the same beaten margin the start prior. Only needs to hold that form to shake the life out of this. JAYZEAL (2) has been given a 42-day freshen-up since finishing third at Kerang. Will strip fitter for a recent trial win just has that awkward gate to contend with. I'M DYNAMITE (7) hasn't won since June 2024 but was tested in BM66 grade last start and ran his best race for some time. A repeat of that would have him in the mix. GOLD GOVERNOR (3) was nosed out last start, which followed a good second-up run, and looms as a threat from the low draw now he's at peak fitness.

Before that 5th of 8 at Tatura Bm62 on December 14 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Frontline Action carrying 54.5kg at $41. Key runner despite the tricky starting position.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Great Western 0 - 56 on January 24 over 1600m, nose behind Imminent Storm carrying 58kg at $4.80. Before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Burrumbeet Bm52 on January 1 over 1350m, 1.3 len behind Paint Me Red with 60kg at $3.70. Should be at peak fitness now and draws to advantage.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Moe Bm62 F&M on January 25 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Yoomee Wonder carrying 57kg at $3.80. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Sale Bm62 on January 8 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Torsheen with 54.5kg at $5.50. Capable enough on her day and is a key runner.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 8 at Balnarring Pic-Mdn-Sw on December 6 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Silver Springs with 67kg at $10. Second-up favourite; won by 2.25 len at Balnarring Pic-Mdn-Sw January 26 over 1600m defeating Ahrkaye carrying 67kg at $2.20. Last-start winner at the picnics, but has previously been exposed as not good enough at this level.
