ABR Review

Aaron Bain Racing is looking forward to Morphettville Parks on Saturday with two of our stable stars stepping out.

New Zealand filly THUNDARA will step out for the second time for ABR while the talented ONE MORE SONG is ready to resume.

More on the Morphettville Parks runners for trainers Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor later in the week as we look to build our attack on the Adelaide carnival.

Midweek racing heads to Balaklava again this week in South Australia with two acceptors for Aaron Bain Racing.

Our first runner is the promising LARGS LEGACY in race two, the Sportsbet Racing Form Maiden (1600m) at 2.15pm SA time.

The three-year-old filly has drawn barrier 10 in an acceptance of 12 with Taylor Johnstone to ride.

LARGS LEGACY has had three runs and improved at each outing and Wednesday’s race looks ideal, but not the draw.

The positive is there is a long run down the back straight before hitting a turn so there is a chance to find a good spot.

The filly was an excellent second at Strathalbyn at her most recent run and ABR looks forward to her running well on Wednesday.

ABR’s other runner at Balaklava is a recent addition DASHING DOUBLE in race four, the 118 years Racing at Balaklava Racecourse Maiden (1200m) at 3.25pm SA time.

The three-year-old gelding has drawn barrier four in an acceptance of 16 with four emergencies.

Todd Pannell has been booked to ride.

DASHING DOUBLE was formerly trained in New South Wales and had eight starts for four thirds at provincial and country meetings.

His last run was a fourth over 1600 metres at Nowra on December 31.

Since coming to trainers Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor, the three-year-old has had a 1050 metre trial at Morphettville on February 12.

The three-year-old’s best form has been over more ground, but the 1200 metres should suit for his SA debut.

 

Weekend Star

The lightly-raced RAVISHING RUBY is ABR’s Weekend Star following her successful return to racing at Melton on Saturday.

Having just her third start, and first for trainer Emma Stewart after previously being prepared in Adelaide by Peter Bain, the three-year-old filly proved too strong for her rivals in the Dynamic Print Group Pace (2240m).

A red hot $1.20 favourite, RAVISHING RUBY came from gate two and was allowed to balance up early by driver Mark Pitt before being allowed to stride to the front.

The filly relaxed in front with a 61.1 second first half of the last 1600 metres. The second favourite Mister Americano made a quick moved down the back straight on the final lap and actually got three-quarters of a length in front.

Pitt had to shake RAVISHING RUBY up and she took a few strides to regain momentum but responded and regained the lead and drew clear to win comfortably by 4-1/2 metres rating 1:57.2.

ABR hopes the filly can continue to improve and go through the grades.

Peter Bain took her to Tasmania for her debut last year and she won her Produce Stakes heat at Hobart in good style but did not have the best of luck finishing second in the final.
