HERALD SUN MATRON STAKES
Results
Typically open mare's race. WISHLOR LASS (5) potentially looks a bit of each-way value. She settled last in a small field first up and hit the line fairly well for fourth behind Wrote To Arataki who was second-up and sitting on speed. Like Wishlor Lass getting to a mile from a soft draw where she can land in a far more positive position. SO GLAMOROUS (8) has hit the line strongly in two runs back from a spell, albeit no match for the ultra-impressive Coeur Volante at Caulfield last time. She's suited getting to 1600m third up. MIRAVAL ROSE (4) has only raced at this trip once and was even in a G2 race in Queensland. She appears to be looking for the trip now however and maps ideally. WROTE TO ARATAKI (3) was too strong winning the G3 Tressady last time and is certainly bred to run this sort of trip despite being untried at it. MOLLY BLOOM (1) was good fresh behind Wrote To Arataki but might get a fair way back from the draw.

Second run back. First-up after three months raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track in the G3 Tressady on February 15 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Wrote To Arataki with 58.5kg at $8. Previously second-up settled back and ran on when 16th of 20 at Randwick in the G1 Epsom on October 5 over 1600m, 7 len behind Ceolwulf with 50.5kg at $26. Nice return and any rise in trip will suit.
Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Bellmaine on February 1 over 1200m, 7 len behind She's Bulletproof with 59kg at $81. Last start 6th of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 Mannerism on February 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Coeur Volante with 59kg at $26. Won this last year, could be a sneaky improver.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Bellmaine on February 1 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind She's Bulletproof carrying 56kg at $19. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at this track G3 Tressady February 15 over 1400m defeating Molly Bloom carrying 56kg at $9.50. Racing well. Hard to beat.
Useful type. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track in the G3 Tressady on February 15 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Wrote To Arataki with 57kg at $4.40. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Bellmaine on February 1 over 1200m, 5 len behind She's Bulletproof carrying 57kg at $4.20. Can improve up in trip.
Second run back. First-up after three months came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track in the G3 Tressady on February 15 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Wrote To Arataki carrying 56kg at $8.50. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Caulfield in the G1 Toorak Hcp on October 12 over 1600m, 11 len behind Antino carrying 53.5kg at $26. Solid return, expecting plenty of improvement.
Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation when last of 8 at Caulfield in the G1 Caulfield Stks October 12 over 2000m, 44 len behind Deny Knowledge with 57kg at $41. When resuming last campaign fourth of 13 at Caulfield Bm100 August 31 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Another Wil with 56kg at $7. Has ability and goes well fresh, watch the market.
On a three run winning streak. At the latest run won by a nose at this track Bm84 February 15 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Ghetto Supastar with 57.5kg at $6. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Sandown-Lakeside Bm84 January 25 over 1600m defeating One Long Day carrying 55kg at $3. Flying, hard to knock.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up made ground from midfield; 4th of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Bellmaine on February 1 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind She's Bulletproof carrying 56kg at $18. Second run from a spell 2nd of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 Mannerism on February 22 over 1400m, 4 len behind Coeur Volante carrying 56kg at $5.50. Rates highly. Ready to peak after two runs back and is sure to run well.
At the latest run 5th of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 Mannerism on February 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Coeur Volante carrying 56kg at $19. The start before that 8th of 10 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on December 28 over 1600m, 4 len behind Princeofnottingham carrying 55kg at $3. Would have to improve.
Most recently 2nd of 8 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on February 21 over 1600m, nose behind Euphemia carrying 60.5kg at $7.50. Before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Caulfield Bm74 on February 8 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Unthinkable with 56.5kg at $9. Likely to find this out of reach.
Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation tenth of 14 at Caulfield Bm84 November 30 over 2400m, soft track; 8 len behind Kadavar carrying 54.5kg at $4. Previously first up; second of 11 at Sandown-Hillside Bm78 September 28 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Kingswood carrying 54kg at $6.50. Nice type but probably needs the run.

Last start came from midfield and won by a head at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 February 19 over 1400m defeating Nodachi with 59.5kg at $6.50. This looks too tough.
