Werribee Race 1

Tree Top Tower Hire Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

It's a surprise to see G3-placed TALES OF TIME (9) in a $32k maiden off a couple of brilliant trial wins, but there are a few others who have also been trialling nicely who will keep him honest. That said, TALES OF TIME looks to have come on between campaigns and his only run in spring was a narrow second to Tornado Valley in the Maribyrnong Plate. If he turns up in that sort of form, he'll be winning. REGAL VANGUARD (4) did little on debut but has changed camps since and put a gap on his rivals in a recent Mornington jumpout and looks suited over the short trip. ASTERN FIGHT (1) will be better for the debut third placing and draws better than some of the other key players. PROLIFIC ANGEL (8) is another debutant, from a gun stable, and has looked good in all jumpouts, so expect her to play a role. MORNING RALPH (3) is one of the more experienced runners in the race and ran his best race last start, so could go on with it.

Was well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 14 over 1100m, 2 len behind Privateer with 58kg at $4.60. Shows ability and expected to improve. Rates highly and can break through.

Second-up. First-up after four months 11th of 13 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on May 22 over 1100m, slow going 5.5 len behind Just Think Twice carrying 59.5kg at $31. Previously second-up got back early 7th of 12 at Ararat 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 25 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Lim's Teide with 59.5kg at $31. Fitter but hard to see him featuring.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Sale Mdn-Sw on May 17 over 1008m, 2 len behind Beau Strada carrying 59.5kg at $6. The start before that 5th of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on April 24 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Blondie's Award carrying 59kg at $17. Hard to enthuse as he is not too reliable.

Two-year-old gelding (Pinatubo - Stolen Angel) who was bought for AUD $ 85,000 (Inglis 2025 2025 Premier Yearling Sale). Anthony & Sam Freedman has him primed for this with three recent trials prior to his debut today. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Mornington on May 6. Looks all set to run well.

Resuming off seven months break after having had one race start. At debut last start came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Flemington in the G3 Maribyrnong Plt on November 4 over 1000m, slow going long-neck behind Tornado Valley with 58kg at $18. Had three recent trials to get ready for this. Last trial Won a trial over 800m at Caulfield Heath on May 14. Looks destined to win much races than this and should prove too good.
