Pee Plater (2)
2.15
Warrnambool throws up a genuine puzzle in race 4, a 1000-metre maiden plate for three-year-olds and upwards on Good4 going under overcast skies at 3:30 pm AEDT. The market has Madame Petite and Pee Plater as the two shortest-priced runners, with Mamzelle Raine and Danseur Noble next in line. It's a race screaming redemption yarn—maiden racing can be unforgiving, but there's form here worth excavating beyond the opening quote.
Madame Petite sits in the sweetest draw at barrier 1, which suits her back-marker profile nicely. The story: she was hard in the market on debut at Yarra Valley but everything went pear-shaped that day. However, the form book tells a different tale. Before that seventh-place run at 1009 metres, she trialled impressively at Caulfield Heath over 800 metres—the gaffer L Smith seems to be readying her for just this kind of assignment, and punters who backed her debut have reason to believe the barrier draw plays to her strengths this time. Pee Plater resumes off a 25-week freshen-up for V L Malady, fourth in recent jumpouts and coming back to a suitable 1100-metre assignment. Brad Rawiller takes the ride from barrier 6, and whilst both jockey and trainer carry poor strike rates, second-campaign runners often find their feet when given time to settle.
Mamzelle Raine carries genuine appeal despite the outside barrier at 8. Trainer M J Mckenzie's recent form is respectable, and the jockey–trainer combo is outperforming market expectations by 61 per cent. The comment flags gate speed and suggests she could take some catching with those qualities in a 1000-metre dash. Danseur Noble, full brother to a two-time Clare winner, has shown speed to win two recent Murray Bridge jumpouts for J F Macmillan—a stable that's out-performing market expectations by 60 per cent—though this is debut proper and barrier 2 is modest. The field lacks sparkling credentials, which is always the maiden plate way, but Madame Petite's redemption run and Mamzelle Raine's profile shape as the angles worth exploring.
