Wangaratta   22 Dec 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

Wangaratta Flooring Xtra Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace as Capital Design pushes forward along with Wingsandpropellers from an outside gate. Big field and plenty of pressure coming from out wide. ABOVE ME (9) just missed two back over 1000m then blew the start but got home hard when fifth at Donald latest. Looks suited here and should be winding up strongly. WINTER HAIL (8) led fresh when fourth then blew the start latest but still got home strongly to place this trip last time. Fitter again and should be doing best work late. FROSTED AMBER (10) started big odds at debut and raced on pace but fought on very well for fourth. Sure to be improved and can feature again with the right run. PRINCESS PRUSSIA (18) wasn't the best away over a sharp dash on debut but did make good late ground. Spelled again and should be much improved. Worth keeping safe. WINGSANDPROPELLERS (4) has placed at both runs and is close to a maiden win. Drawn out but has good speed so expecting to try to lead throughout. Will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Above Me.

Went for a spell before returning 3rd of 9 at Albury Mdn-Sw on December 13 over 900m, 3.5 len behind Der Blaue Reiter carrying 57.5kg at $2.30. This tougher but fitter again and can give a sight off the low draw.
