St Arnaud kicked this week off with a set of jumpouts on Monday morning, defying the recent rain events with an excellent surface for galloping. 
Stawell trainer Andrew Bobbin held a strong hand early on, taking out the first three heats of the morning, highlighted by talented three-year-old Money Honey recording one of the faster times from the 900-metre start (57.45 seconds). 
The daughter of Capitalist rolled forward and was kept under a hold until the closing stages, her rider giving her a little shake late to find the line in a promising return for the maiden galloper. 
The filly has just one start to her name, a runner-up performance at Sandown behind a short-priced favourite in March, and looks to have returned in terrific order. Check your form guides and follow her to the races next weekend, likely at Warracknabeal or Casterton.
Packers Journey, for Kyneton trainer Neil Dyer, clocked the fastest time of the morning (57.10), sizzling around under little riding in a tick-over jumpout between runs. 
The five-year-old mare has flourished since transferring to Dyer’s care, twice a winner and never worse than fourth in seven starts. 
She is an acceptor at Morphettville Parks on Saturday in the 1400-metre 0-68 for fillies and mares. You could do worse than have something each way on this born-again galloper.
Stick with the Shad
Followers of this column cashed in last Saturday when recent Murtoa jumpout winner Shadhavar ($5) proved too good in the listed Regal Roller Stakes at Caulfield. 
The Tom Dabernig-trained mare was sent forward by Scobie Breasley Medallist Craig Willliams, holding the rail into the home straight and fighting doggedly at the finish to hold off a strong challenge from Persian Spirit ($10). 
The five-year-old Pride Of Dubai mare has won her past three starts either side of a spell and generally improves second up, so if you missed out on the weekend, it may pay to stick with her.
