Hamilton   11 Oct 2025
 
GOING: S

Lynton Mcleod Memorial 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43)  

Expecting Ilovediamonds to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. LEGACY BEL (12) will prove the testing material, having found only one better at her past two starts and having the benefit of gate 2 here. She should be prominent throughout. ILOVEDIAMONDS (11) hasn't placed in three starts this time in, but she's been on the placegetters' heels and they have been in tougher races than this. BIG ROOSTER (1) is another first-starter who has impressed at the jumpouts. EPOCH (2) should be better for the debut prep, when he only had one start for a fourth placing, and recent jumpouts suggest he has come on. Has placed at 3 of 5 starts and turned in an encouraging recent Ballarat jumpout performance in preparation for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Legacy Bel to win.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at Kilmore F&M Mdn-Sw on September 29 over 1110m, 0.8 len behind Mauna Kea Miss carrying 58kg at $7. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track 4Yupmdn-Sw on September 15 over 1100m, on a slow track; nose behind Shout Me with 57.5kg at $6. An inside alley is a big advantage. Knocking on the door and gets the draw to go one better.

Finished off last preparation third of 11 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Attachments carrying 57kg at $4.40.

Has been placed more often than not and Ballarat jumpout third looked a nice platform for this.
