Race 1 — Ladbrokes Switch Mdn Plate 1200m · jumps Sun 25 Oct, 1:05 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Sale for the Ladbrokes Switch Mdn Plate over the 1200m trip. Conditions are currently testing with a Soft 5 rating and rain coming down for the program. Looking at the early win market order, punters have zeroed in on Loaded heading the betting line, closely followed by Big Kapow, Armorware, and Trouble'N Paradise rounding out the top markers of the market as they prepare to battle it out in this maiden affair.

Loaded brings strong claims after starting life on a synthetic track where the runner finished a narrow second, showing a sharp turn of foot and strong finishing sectionals that suggest the step back to standard turf holds no fears. Big Kapow maps as the leader from barrier six, coming off a solid Cranbourne effort where the runner worked home soundly after racing handy, while Armorware has also been in the market at both career outings and comes off a closing third at Pakenham Synthetic behind a tearaway winner.

For those hunting further down the form lines, Trouble'N Paradise represents the stable of Ben, Will & Jd Hayes and comes into this after a minor placing at Bendigo when sticking on fairly over 1300m, now dropping back slightly in distance. With speed maps showing Big Kapow controlling things up front alone as the lone leader, it sets up an interesting tactical puzzle for the backmarkers and mid-fielders to chase down in the going.

AAP

Latest attempt this journey when handily placed and worked home soundly at Cranbourne. Leads, handy. All the better, capable of making an impact.

ILB

Started at $6.00 and finished 5th last time at Cranbourne. Should muster plenty of early speed. Very tidy performer.

Improved form the last twice; far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) at Cranbourne two weeks ago.

RSIS

At 5/1 finished 5th last run at Cranbourne. Expecting to settle positively. Has definite claims.

Subject of support when just shaded by winner at Pakenham Synthetic on debut. Will take benefit. Looks poised to shake his maiden.

ILB

Nice effort to run into 2nd last run at Pakenham Synthetic and was a debutant last start. Shows very good closing speed. Should feature prominently.

A narrow debut defeat at 6-4 three weeks ago at Pakenham running over this trip; could improve but still hard to see him winning here.

RSIS

Caught the eye when 2nd last time at Pakenham Synthetic and was a debutant last start. Has a great burst of pace late. Competitive type.

Sent out $81 when unable to threaten at Cranbourne off spell. Others with more appeal.

ILB

Started at $81.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last start at Cranbourne. Yet to break through after 9 runs. The large claim from Liana Wood should help. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Still winless and defeats stacking up (nine on the bounce); beaten 6l in seventh (Cranbourne) 16 days ago when just behind Big Kapow; this looks a decent race so others more likely.

RSIS

Odds of 80/1 and struggled with the pace when 7th last time at Cranbourne. Hasn't broken through maiden grade after 9 runs. The large claim from Liana Wood should help.

In touch, no match but did enough for a minor prize at Bendigo in Maiden company when second-up. Comes back in trip a touch.

ILB

Good run when finishing 3rd beaten by almost 2 1/2L last start at Bendigo and putting a tidy record together so far. Getting better in recent performances. Rates as one of the key chances.

Best form so far in last two starts; a respectable third of nine over 6½f at Bendigo (maiden) 21 days ago.

RSIS

Attacked the line when 3rd last run at Bendigo and solid career start. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Serious contender.

Ran home respectably into a non-threatening 4th at Pakenham Synthetic when second-up. Back on turf. Place preferred option.

ILB

Jumped at $10.00 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last start at Pakenham Synthetic. Hasn't broken through maiden grade after 8 runs. May find these too slick.

Improved form the last twice but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight; not far behind Loaded when fourth at Pakenham three weeks ago; a lot on her plate here and others appeal more.

RSIS

At 9/1 hit the line well when 4th last start at Pakenham Synthetic. Yet to break maiden status after 8 starts. Might be ridden for luck.

No match but ran on for the minors at Kyneton on debut 8 Oct. Wiser for experience.

ILB

Did well to place 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last time at Kyneton and having second career run. Expected to be flashing home. Not at all out of this race.

Went down by just under 5l when second at the first time of asking at Kyneton at 5-1 17 days ago; possible improver with outing under her belt although has plenty to find.

RSIS

Good run when placing 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last run at Kyneton and having second race start. Will be hitting the line strongly. Not at all out of this race.

First-up (26-weeks). Yet to fill a placing in 6 career starts and want to watch again.

ILB

Resuming after a 26 week spell. Started at $151.00 and well beaten when 10th last time at Moe. Interesting to see the tongue tie go off for the first time. Looks completely outclassed.

Attempting to open her account at the seventh time of asking; finished tailed off at Moe in April; back from an absence here; a lot on her plate here and may be vulnerable.

RSIS

Resuming after a 26 week break. At 150/1 clearly outclassed when 10th last run at Moe. Tongue strap go off for the first time.

In the market all runs. Ran on late to place behind tearaway winner at Pakenham Synthetic. Makes strong appeal.

ILB

Managed to run into 3rd last run at Pakenham Synthetic and drawn beautifully. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts. Good prospects.

Finished third of eight at Pakenham 23 days ago; lightly raced (running for just the third time).

RSIS

Managed to run into 3rd last time at Pakenham Synthetic and drawn the rails. Has not missed the placings lately in 2 attempts. Can take this out.

Back for second campaign (18-weeks). Offered little to catch the eye on debut at Geelong 19 Jun. Not pushed out Caulfield Heath trial 1 Oct. Will need to improve on exposed form.

ILB

Fresh today. Jumped at $11.00 and was nothing special when 9th last time at Geelong but having second race start. He's been gelded. Would rather look at others.

Held on his debut at Geelong at 10-1 in June; returning from a layoff here; must now step up.

RSIS

Back from a break. Started at 10/1 and only fair when 9th last run at Geelong but having second career run. He underwent a recent gelding operation.

Trials (2:0-0-0). $85k purchase. Out of a half-sister to G3 winner Bondeiger. Asked for little in lead-up trials/jumpout. Drawn well. Market may offer more insight.

First race appearance 3yo by Written By for Jerome Hunter. Tongue tie go on for the first time. Finished 7th in a trial at Caulfield Heath on Oct 1st. Watch the market moves.

Already gelded; this son of Written By makes debut under rules; needs to be respected with signs of encouragement in profile.

$100k purchase. Out of a half-sister to the stakes winner California Flag. Unraced 3yo by Harry Angel and out of the Congrats mare Spirit Of Ecstasy. Well held in last couple of jumpouts. Odds may prove best guide here.

ILB

Harry Angel 3yo trained by Julius Sandhu having first race appearance and will appreciate a good barrier. Watch betting.

Related to 6f winner Point Of Ecstasy; this son of Harry Angel is running for the first time; warrants consideration.

RSIS

First race appearance 3yo by Harry Angel for Julius Sandhu and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw.

Kicks off second campaign (17-weeks). Wasn't all that far from the action on debut at Bendigo when drifting in the betting 25 Jun. Will need to come on from that.

ILB

Resuming after a break. Started $8.00 and crept into 4th last run at Bendigo and fitter for debut run.

Fourth but beaten only 3l on his debut at Bendigo at 7-1 four months ago; returns from a layoff; hard to see him getting off the mark second time up.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Odds of 7/1 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last start at Bendigo and having second race start.

Tim Eurell 3yo by Foxwedge having first race start and will try to take advantage of the draw. Betting as a guide.

Related to 1m3f winner Ambalac; running in first race; has to be considered as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

Tim Eurell trained 3yo by Foxwedge having first race appearance and gets a favourable stall.

Passable debut effort when battled home at Ballarat. Wiser for experience. Among the dangers.

ILB

Odds of $4.20 and ran 6th last run at Ballarat but having second race start.

Not beaten too far (3½l) on her debut at Ballarat over 5f at 100-30 two weeks ago; could be involved as she should be more streetwise this time.

RSIS

Odds of 10/3 and came in 6th last time at Ballarat but having second career run.

Failed to threaten (wide draw) at Ballarat for new trainer at wide odds. Need to see more from him now.

ILB

Was $91.00 and disappointing effort when 8th last time at Ballarat. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Likely to settle back in the field. This is a tough race.

Last of eight over 5f at Ballarat (maiden) on debut for this handler 16 days ago; lightly raced (this just his fourth race).

RSIS

At 90/1 was ordinary when 8th last run at Ballarat. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Expected to settle towards the tail.

Odds correct as at Sun 25 Oct, 1:10 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
