April 4th SUMMING UP
|
A moderate race on profile unless Jaassey is an average, or above average,
type.
Red Emerald sets a low standard on what she achieved here last week and
Jaassey and Magidene have some profile positives which suggest they could
exceed that standard.
However, Jaassey represents a trainer whose debut runners have shown the
usual range from very ready to clueless already this season. Magidene was
inexperienced but faded tamely even given his slow-quick start so improvement
here may not be enough to beat Red Emerald.
In summary no runner sets a strong standard and with a strong positive
profile.

RACE QUALITY:
|
The race is a Median Auction limited to 2yos by sires whose sales median
price was below the limit set for the race.
The entry conditions of the race allow 2yos with a wide variety of sales
prices to enter. The last two winners have cost 37k & 14.5k gns and
were relatively expensive prices for their sires. Two of the placed horses
2003-4 have cost only 0.8k and 2k gns.
Given the variation in sales prices of the runners the actual winning performance
is very variable depending upon whether there is a useful 2yo in the field.
However the bulk of the runners are usually minor, selling class winners
at best.

SALES REVIEWS:
|
Magidene was rated 71 (early) at sales with an average chance of being
a competitive 2yo at his level. This rating is at the level which would
be good enough to place in this type of race and be able to win it if there
were not an above average type in the race.
Royal Embrace was rated 61 (early) with an average chance of being competitive
2yo at his level. A rating at this level would not usually be good enough
to win this type of race.
