Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 11 (crowded early on; overraced middle stages; hung out near turn) at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn Plate on February 24 over 1100m, 6 len behind Minimal with 59kg at $10. Last start second last of 7 at Ballarat 3yo+ Mdn on March 15 over 1100m, in the wet; 14 len behind Do Ya Punk carrying 59kg at $41. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Was at a huge quote at debut, slowly away; second last of 12 at Swan Hill 3yo+ Mdn on March 20 over 975m, 21 len behind Esashi carrying 59kg at $51. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Resuming after six months. Finished off last preparation when heart rate; ran last of 8 at Sale 3yo+ F&M Mdn October 6 over 1206m, soft track; 17 len behind Lady Adelaide with 58kg at $13.

Looks a key runner while fresh.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Winning Rupert out of Lady Colours. Purchased for AUD $16,000 (Magic Millions 2020 Adelaide Yearling Sale).

Three-year-old filly first-starter by Sebring out of Kakakakatie purchased for AUD $120,000 (Magic Millions 2020 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). No trial form to work with so the market will go a long way to telling her tale.

At the latest run began awkwardly; 4th of 10 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn on March 3 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Miss Arizona with 56kg at $11. Before that second last of 8 (began awkwardly; eased near 200m; not fully tested) at Stony Creek 3yo Mdn on February 14 over 1000m, 5 len behind Ultravox with 56kg at $4.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

PANDA'S POST (10) should be at her top following three runs from a break and the signs were promising at Pakenham last time. Won't be too far away at the business end. KATERING (9) is a filly by Sebring from the stakes-winner Kakakakatie on debut. Stable is in good form at present and looks nicely placed here on debut. Certainly follow any market moves. FOXY TYCOON (8) is a daughter of Winning Rupert from Lady Colours. Has had a couple of barrier trials at Colac and Echuca to prepare for debut. Has to be kept in mind. NIGHT OF MAYHEM (5) is resuming after showing promise last campaign. Has had a trial in preparation for return. Should not be discarded.
Resumes. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Ararat 4yo+ Mdn January 28 2021 over 1100m, 3 len behind Dwelt with 59.5kg at $5. First up last campaign began awkwardly; second of 9 at Penola 3yo+ Mdn December 4 2020 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Isa Secret with 58kg at $1.80. Conditions favour. Expect a forward showing.

Second-up. First-up after six months struck interference at start; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at Bendigo Mdn Plate on March 11 over 1100m, 3 len behind Hayley with 59kg at $21. Previously second-up wide throughout and keen; 7th of 10 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on September 11 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Midnight Dream carrying 57kg at $10. Improver with an excellent winning chance.

CHAT UP (1) has not raced in 14 months. Showed plenty of promise before a break and is sure to be well primed for a first-up showing. Must be given respect. MISTY TRAILS (4) was disappointing at Edenhope but previous run first-up at Stawell was full of promise. Won't be too far away at the business end. VIPERION (6) ran well at only outing at Swan Hill before a break. Has run second in an Echuca trial to prepare for return. Has to be considered. WHISPERING TYCOON (13) raced on the speed and boxed on soundly in tougher maiden than this at Bendigo last time. Should not be dismissed.
Four-year-old gelding by Sheer Talent from Miriam Louisa at the races for the first time. Purchased for AUD $5,000 (Magic Millions 2019 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Has had no recent barrier trials. Maybe later.

First starter. Three-year-old gelding by Bull Point out of Quandt. Trialled recently when out of the placings over 1100m at Echuca March 15. Happy enough to bet around.

Was well-supported at debut, struck interference at start; 3rd of 9 at Edenhope 3yo+ Mdn on March 12 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Romanesco Fresco carrying 59kg at $4. Encouraging effort on debut and another big run is on the cards.

Last start second last of 9 (slowly away; taken back from wide barrier; overraced middle stages) at Pakenham 3yo+ Mdn on March 3 over 1600m, 11 len behind Cavellita carrying 59kg at $41. The start before that crowded at start; got back early 6th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ Mdn on February 23 over 1500m, 7 len behind Prix De Turn carrying 59kg at $81. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Jumped at big odds at debut, slowly away and held up near 300m; came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Ararat 3yo Mdn on March 4 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Ice Pick Nick with 56kg at $26. Good effort on debut but this looks a stern test.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Colac 3yo+ Mdn on March 6 over 1000m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind Miss Prospector with 57kg at $2.80. Can build upon that bright start to her career.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on March 17 over 1212m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Claudia Shiver with 59.5kg at $41. The race before that raced on the pace before fading 7th of 11 at Pakenham 3yo+ Mdn on March 3 over 1200m, 7 len behind Zagusto carrying 59.5kg at $17. Can't recommend.

Before that pre race incident and passed fit at barrier; 4th of 10 at Moe 3yo Mdn on February 20 over 1217m, 2.5 len behind Top Honours with 56kg at $6. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.

On debut with blinkers first time; third of 10 at St Arnaud 3yo+ Mdn October 24 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind True Impact with 55.5kg at $31. May well prove too smart for these first-up.

MY BRILLIANT CHOIX (8) resumes from a spell of five months. Has figured in the money in six of her 10 starts and is deserving of a win. Gets that chance to breakthrough here. TALANTINO (10) ran well on debut at Colac and will be improved by the experience. Expected to give this a shake. HANMER SPRINGS (14) is resuming. Showed promise at her first campaign and is certainly worth keeping a watch on while fresh. ROCK DEE JAY (6) produced a far better performance at second lifetime outing at Ararat. Expected to take further improvement from that. Must be respected.

First starter. Four-year-old mare by Tavistock out of La Sommeliere that was NZD $95,000 (NZB 2018 Karaka National Yearling Sale - Book 1) purchase. Trialled recently when out of the placings at Echuca over 1400m March 15. Has some talent and is worth keeping safe.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 (slowly away; eased down; warning - uncompetitive) at Ballarat 3yo Mdn on February 27 over 1200m, 21 len behind Stromboli with 56kg at $61. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

MARTINI CRUSADER (6) has figured in the placings at both outings back this campaign. Just missed out over a similar trip last time and with added fitness is expected to go close. A VOTRE SANTE (8) is a mare by Tavistock out of La Sommeliere on debut for the Patrick Payne stable. Has had a couple of trials to get her ready and must be treated with respect. Will pay to follow any market lead. FIRM AS A ROCK (10) was placed at Benalla before sound effort in tougher maiden at The Valley last time. Is worth keeping safe. METAMORPHIC MISS (9) was not that far off them at Edenhope last time and the rise in trip is expected to suit.
Useful gelding. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a head at Edenhope 3yo+ Mdn March 12 over 1850m on a soft track defeating Martini Crusader carrying 59.5kg at $4.50. Before that keen; 6th of 13 at Ararat 3yo+ Mdn on March 4 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Outlaw Ned with 59.5kg at $13. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

KOOLATAH (1) led throughout in a fighting win to break maiden status at Edenhope. Now that he's broken through he may be able to go on with it. Must be respected. ZOUY'S COMET (4) is going to find this a much easier assignment than the one that confronted him in town last time. Expect a forward showing. WOLF WHISTLE (11) wasn't that far away despite finishing at the tail of the field on very heavy track last time. Can atone here. ALI ORPHAN (10) last couple of efforts over the border in South Australia have been sound and won't be too far away here.

WILGA HILL (2) is lightly-raced and showing promise. Did a solid job when just behind the placegetters at Swan Hill last time. Is nicely placed here and should handle the rise in trip. Won't be far away. CHATTERING (10) had been racing well before disappointing display at Ararat last time. Shorter trip here won't be any disadvantage. Should play a key role. CHARCOAL ANNIE (6) performed solidly at Kilmore two starts back then boxed on OK against tougher opposition last time. Looks nicely off in this grade. Demands thought. CAPELLANI (3) is returning from a break and in new stable. New Zealand form reads well for a race like this. Chance if fit enough first-up.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming led but faded 2nd of 12 at Bendigo 3yo+ (58) on February 19 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind Sly Corner with 58kg at $8. Second-up 3rd of 9 at Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm58) on March 11 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Lumber Punk carrying 62kg at $7.50. Can improve. Looks a leading chance.

The rails draw brings him right into calculations.

BUCHAN HOAKS (1) has had the two runs back following a brief break, producing two solid efforts. Looks well placed in this line-up. Should go close. GOLD LOGIE (2) has had the four runs this campaign for three seconds and a last start win. Won't be far off them at the business end. HONOUR DE HERO (7) wasn't far off them in the run when breaking through for maiden win at Warrnambool. Is up in grade but expected to give a bold sight. HELANO (3) was strong when racing on the speed at Edenhope last time. This is tougher but can measure up.
Resuming today after a three-and-a-half months break.

WEDGETAIL (9) has been off the scene for 16 months. Doesn't win out of turn but does have a solid fresh record. Is expected to make a bold bid. COMTE (4) has had his races well spaced of late. Hit the line strongly at Kilmore last time which suggests a win is near. Won't be too far away. TSUGARU (8) is coming back from a spell. Placed at Sale when resuming last time in and did win on debut in previous campaign. Has to be treated with respect. OVERKILL (1) is resuming. Filled a place behind an improving galloper last time before a break. Fresh form reads well so don't dismiss.
Second run back. First-up after six months 3rd in a small field at Echuca (Bm78) on March 13 over 1000m, 5 len behind Gold Spark with 54kg at $31.

CALLIGRAPHER (1) produced an excellent effort on home track in much tougher race last time. Rises in weight here but a win is near. Gets that chance here. RUNAMIGO (5) hit the line well over a shorter trip at Moe last time. Better placed with the rise in trip here and won't be too far away. DIDIER (4) wasn't at home on the heavy track at Colac two runs back before running a sound race at Geelong last time out. Is nicely off in a race like this. Don't discard. TURF FLYER (2) broke through for his maiden win last start at Stony Creek last time and may be able to go on with the good work here.
