ASTON ORIENTAL
Breeding: Apr ’19 KC And All x Aston Miley
Trainer: Jason Thompson, Pearcedale
Record: 18 starts 6-2-2

Dale says: “Litter sister to superstar duo Aston Rupee and Aston Fastnet. Burst on to the racing scene posting four wins in her first seven starts which included a flying 29.85sec Meadows win over 525m. Her form tapered off a little after that and she lost a little confidence as a result of finding trouble in most of her races. However, after a seven-week spell, and a step up to 595m, she has turned in two brilliant performances and looks very much suited to the middle-distance journey.”

Best traits: Keen railer; outstanding mid-race speed     Ideal draw: Box 1     Ideal distance: 550-600m

“After a seven-week spell, and a step up to 595m, Aston Oriental has turned in two brilliant performances and looks very much suited to the middle-distance journey.”

SIMON SAYS
Breeding: Jan ‘19 Aussie Infrared x Aeroplane Jet
Trainer: Brett Mackie, Tooradin
Record: 33 starts 5-9-8

Dale says: “Simon Says is a more than handy provincial sprinter who is racing much better than his form indicates. Does all his racing around the Gippsland area and has turned in some top performances in Free For All class at Warragul in recent times. Is back to Grade 5 class now and can return to the winner’s list sooner rather than later, particularly if he draws a wide box.”

Best traits: Mid-race speed; gives 100%     Ideal draw: Box 8     Ideal distance: 400-450m

ZAC’S ENTITY
Breeding: May ’19 Fernando Bale x Zara’s Entity
Trainer: Kelvin Greenough, Pearcedale
Record: 3 starts 1-1-1

Dale says: “Made huge headlines when he posted a breathtaking 29.25sec Sandown Park win over 515m on debut. His run home time of 10.26sec was something special and had stayer written all over it. In just his third race appearance he competed under match race conditions in the Group 3 Speed Star series over 600m at The Meadows and was beaten less than a length to overall winner and star chaser Collinda Patty. Once more, his run home time was outstanding. With just three starts to his name and still learning, his potential as a stayer is as good as anything I have seen.”

Best traits: Freakish strength     Ideal draw: Box 1     Ideal distance: 600m and beyond

“With just three starts to his name and still learning, Zac’s Entity’s potential as a stayer is as good as anything I have seen.”

YAHOO SERIOUS
Breeding: Oct ’19 Worm Burner x Bells Are Ringin
Trainer: Gerard O’Keefe, Neerim Junction
Record: 15 starts 4-2-3

Dale says: “Has had just the 15 starts and early on in his career was a steady performer around the provincial circuit. With more racing he has matured and is a more conditioned athlete. With this, his form has improved rapidly, as was evident in his powerful 29.50sec last start Sandown Park win. Still just 23 months old, the son of RSN Sandown Cup winner Bells Are Ringin is bred to run over more ground, and with continued improvement he is one to keep an eye out for.”

Best traits: Keen railer; good track sense     Ideal draw: box 1     Ideal distance: 500-550m

“At 23 months, Yahoo Serious has matured into a conditioned athlete who is bred to run more ground.”
