OWN THE DREAM 2026 MAIDEN 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. BELAURA STAR (2) trialled well and then raced as the favourite at Belmont on debut and did a good job beaten just 1.3L. The extra metres suit and he won't have to improve much to take this out. TIGER TANK (1) is a leader poised to win. His near-miss at Belmont two back stacks right up, and he will jump and run from the inside barrier. WHITE HOT (9) won a trial but was well out of the market in an Open 3 at Ascot on debut and needed the run. She jumps from an inside gate today, and Pike is a key jockey switch. Quick improvement is on the cards. ALEBRIJE (10) was only beaten 2.5L at Belmont on debut, and she's sure to build on that. Draws to get every chance and she will carry just 53kg with the claimer engaged. FUNKY BOY (4) debuts with the blinkers on. Has been well educated and won his latest trial. Keep safe with Chris Parnham booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Belaura Star.

Racing well recently. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at Pinjarra 3yo Mdn on November 30 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Hurricane Harley carrying 57kg at $3.60. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 10 at Belmont Park Mdn on November 12 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Storm Away with 56kg at $21. Looks hard to beat.
