  Race 1 The Star Shine Trophy Div. II (1200m, Class 4) Cinderella’s Dream has shown early speed in past races but tends to settle mid-pack. Windborne has led before and could set the pace. Manor House has raced prominently but lacks a strong finishing kick. Shirsa prefers a stalking position and has experience at longer distances. New Yorker and Fleetwood are lightly raced and unpredictable in pace setup. A moderate pace is likely, with Windborne and Manor House taking early positions, while Cinderella’s Dream and Shirsa sit off the pace. Key Contenders 1. Cinderella’s Dream (59kg, Draw 4) Won on 29-12-2024 in Class 4 over 1200m. Finished 2nd to Quicker last start. Consistent performer with 1:11-range timings. Weight (59kg) could be a concern. 2 . Windborne (59kg, Draw 1) Won a 1000m Maiden race in July 2024. Last race: 10.5L behind Dulari (1:10.38). Needs improvement to match Cinderella’s Dream. 3. Manor House (56kg, Draw 2) Ran 3rd behind Cinderella’s Dream on 29-12-2024. Could ...
