Donald Race 4

Weir's Iga + Liquor Donald Classic

Prize Money: $30,000

Main race of the day, which has thrown some handy winners in the past. Often they've been first-starters and we get a few of them here. FOX PHIRE (10) will keep them on their toes, though, better suited here back in trip after a respectable run in a handy enough Geelong maiden, which followed a good debut. COSMIC VOYAGE (2) has had three jumpouts in preparation for the debut and hasn't won any of them, but wasn't beaten far by Cavill Avenue in the latest and that galloper was a nice winner at Ballarat on Thursday. SHINTONO (9) was an all-the-way winner of her latest jumpout and it was good to see her do it that way and she gets the inside draw and Linda Meech for the debut. Could give them something to catch. FAMOUS ROSY (8) is hard to back off the poor debut, but he easily held VALLICE (rival here) in a jumpout prior, so might pay to forgive that.

Gelding by Star Witness making his first appearance. Runner-up in a Flemington jump-out on April 10. Jumped out nicely alongside Thursday's Ballarat winner Cavill Avenue on Apr 10 and draws to play a role.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old gelding by Earthlight out of Mrs Sippy. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 850m at Caulfield Heath April 23. Three jumpouts in preparation for this, so should be ready to go.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 4th of 12 at Echuca 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Mull Of Kintyre carrying 58kg at $31. Will take a lot from the debut but this looks a touch tougher than that.

First start. By leading sire Maurice out of Moselle Valley. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Ararat on April 8. Urged along to finish (a distant) second at latest jumpout, so prefer to see on raceday.

At debut, raced on the pace before fading second last of 12 at Echuca 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, 11 len behind Mull Of Kintyre with 58kg at $8.50. Terrible on debut but easily held Vallice in a jumpout prior so worth another go.

Having third race start. At debut, 2nd in a small field at Geelong 2yo F Mdn-Sw on April 1 over 1100m, neck behind Mistifyzou with 57kg at $8. Last start 4th in a small field at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1312m, slow going 4 len behind Aragog with 56kg at $5.50. Nice debut and not disgraced in a strong maiden last time, suited back in trip.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 9th of 11 at Pakenham 2yo F Mdn-Sw on April 9 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Wonderful Sky with 57kg at $31. Big price on debut and never a factor but will be better for that and draws the inside.
