At debut, 7th of 12 at Pakenham 3yo+ Mdn on January 27 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Mianado with 58kg at $9. Will make his own luck on speed and should give a sight for a long way.

Three-year-old filly first-starter by Reward For Effort out of Princess Abassi. The market will be the best guide to her chances on debut.

JESTER (1) just missed on debut last start when in the market after things didn't go his way in running. He'll take good benefit from that experience and looks hard to beat here drawn ideally. DARZELA (7) impressed on debut when a close up second when well supported. This race looks a nice progression and she should be thereabouts again at the finish with added fitness. TAYLA'S MOMENT (10) started favourite last start when resuming but things didn't got her way in running. She's capable of sharp improvement with Damian Lane taking the reins. PENTEGRA (5) has placed on both sides of a spell and appeals each way here, fitter second up. MATSUKAZE (3) ran midfield on debut when well supported. Sharp improvement wouldn't surprise and he's one for the multiples.
Three-year-old colt first-starter by Real Impact out of Protracted. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut.

Wasn't disgraced in town last start and despite an awkward draw isn't the worst here.

EBONY KING (3) has placed at his past three including a narrow defeat last start in town behind impressive winner Stark Raving. He'll likely push forward from an awkward draw and gets his chance to break through. PALANI (9) looks ready to show his best third up, coming off a second last start with a good gap to third when well in the market. HARBOURMASTER (4) just missed last start, building on an encouraging debut effort when not far away. This trip should suit and he creates plenty of interest. LE MESSAGER (6) made nice improvement last start when second as favourite. Although this looks tougher he's not without a chance despite an awkward draw. NURSERY CHIME (12) has placed at two of her three starts to date and appeals each way.
Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at Hamilton 3yo+ Mdn November 9 over 1609m, 10 len behind Deep Encounter carrying 69.5kg at $10. When resuming last campaign fifth of 10 at Echuca 4yo+ Mdn October 22 over 1200m, 7 len behind Sixbysixtythree with 59.5kg at $21. Yet to place and that looks unlikely to change here.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months led to the turn then faded 7th of 12 at Bendigo 3yo+ Mdn on February 6 over 1400m, 5 len behind Dutch Action with 57.5kg at $81.

Second-up. First-up after eight months second last of 8 at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Mdn on January 16 over 1514m, 8 len behind Batiki with 57.5kg at $15. Previously second-up overraced early stages; ran last of 8 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on April 19 over 1400m, 5 len behind Miette Star with 57.5kg at $61. Yet to place and that looks unlikely to change here.

Third-up today. First-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Ararat Mdn Plate on January 13 over 1100m, 9 len behind Tranquil Bay carrying 57.5kg at $101. Second run from a spell taken back from wide barrier; got back early 9th of 12 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on February 5 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Scampton carrying 53.5kg at $151. Yet to place and that looks unlikely to change here.

Most recently began awkwardly; 9th of 11 at Bendigo 3yo+ F&M Mdn on February 6 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind The Globe with 58kg at $41. The start before that crowded near 100m and became unbalanced; 5th of 10 at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn on January 2 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Titan Of Choice carrying 57.5kg at $61. Thereabouts in three runs back from a spell but others appear to have stronger winning claims.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when 9th of 12 at Bendigo 3yo+ Mdn on September 3 over 1300m, 10 len behind Obfuscation carrying 55.5kg at $21. Needs plenty of improvement on debut effort to figure here.

Three-year-old filly by Dundeel out of Fantastic Angel having her first start. The market will be the best guide to her chances on debut. Bred to appreciate further in time but should be closing off strongly late.

Going well. Last start began awkwardly; 3rd of 11 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on February 5 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Gunna Gunna carrying 57kg at $3.30. The start before that bounded on jumping; 2nd of 8 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on January 14 over 1247m, slow going 2 len behind Perfect Darling with 56kg at $2.80. Gets the Blinkers off here and has the form to go close.

I AM ENCHANTING (13) is close to a win having placed at three of her past four starts including two starts ago behind Perfect Darling who has since won again. She'll be hard to beat out to this trip with the Blinkers off and Damian Lane going on. IMPROVIDENT (2) didn't have the best of luck in running last start when resuming but wasn't beaten far. She's drawn to advantage and can build on that effort here with added fitness. IDEAL MISS (7) creates interest resuming having shown enough last time in to suggest she can be competitive here fresh. She appeals each way. KENTAHTEN (3) chased home a smart type in town last start in a race run in good time. She was first up on that occasion and is open to plenty of improvement. Keep safe. FANTASTIC GALAXY (12) on debut is bred to appreciate further in time but is worth including in the exotics.
Having third race start. At debut, raced wide without cover and laid in in the straight; with blinkers first time; 4th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn on January 11 over 1450m, 4 len behind Seacole carrying 58kg at $12. Second-up from last on the turn 6th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn on January 25 over 1607m, 2.25 len behind James The Great carrying 58kg at $4.50. Thereabouts in two runs to date and warrants plenty of respect out to this trip.

Second run back. First-up after five months hampered near 100m; settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ Mdn Plate on February 2 over 1400m, 6 len behind Healing Game with 59kg at $6. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn Plate on July 20 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Festivus carrying 57kg at $6. Encouraging effort last start when resuming in town. This trip should suit and he's in the mix.

Last start laid out on straightening and weakened concluding stages; didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 11 at Donald 3yo+ Mdn on January 30 over 2000m, 7 len behind Dodgy One with 57.5kg at $11. Faded on speed last start. Needs to improve to figure.

At the latest run raced wide without cover; 7th of 10 at Werribee 3yo+ Mdn on February 4 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Charlie's Tin carrying 57.5kg at $31. The race before that slowly away; got back early 6th of 10 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn on January 11 over 1600m, 7 len behind Mighty Willie with 57.5kg at $31. This looks too tough on exposed form.

Most recently 5th of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn Plate on February 8 over 1400m, 6 len behind Heavy Duty with 56kg at $15. The race before that keen; 5th of 12 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on January 23 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Amalfi Amore carrying 56kg at $12. Thereabouts at her past two starts and this trip could be suitable. Look for improvement.

Raced twice to date. At big odds at debut, ran last of 14 at Donald 3yo Mdn on January 30 over 1350m, 15 len behind Patmos Island carrying 56kg at $41. Second-up with blinkers first time; ran last in a small field at Werribee 3yo+ Mdn on February 13 over 1600m, 8 len behind Susanne Joy with 57kg at $41. Others appear to have stronger winning claims on exposed form.

RIVINADO (2) is close to a win having just missed two starts ago behind Dodgy One over this trip who went on to place in the Listed Tasmanian Derby at his next start. He went down narrowly last start when a long odds on favourite but will be better suited here on the bigger track with the Blinkers going on. SONOFTHEBEAST (7) is yet to miss a place in three starts and was only nabbed late last start with a good gap to third. He'll make his own luck on speed and looks the one to beat. SIR PHOENIX (6) resumed with an encouraging effort in town last start. He's bred to excel at this trip and further and it would be no surprise to see him finish over the top of them. BARTOLINI (4) is progressing nicely and warrants plenty of respect out to this trip at his third time to the races. TAVABEEL (9) has raced keenly on speed in two runs to date and despite a raft of gear changes can run well again. Japanese bred MEINER LEGACY (1) creates interest back on firmer footing and out to 2000m.
Resuming. Finished off last campaign when near 400m and irregular heart rate; ran last of 8 at Moe 3yo+ (Bm70) August 4 over 1200m, in the wet; 27 len behind Zimowy carrying 56.5kg at $41. Previous preparation first-up won by a head Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm64) April 9 over 1000m slow track defeating Audacious Heart with 58.5kg at $5. A lesser chance.

The start before that ran last in a small field (hung out near turn; raced greenly; proved difficult to ride out) at Gawler (Bm82) on January 8 over 1100m, slow going 8 len behind Great Leveller with 54kg at $5. Not far away last start when favourite. In the mix again.

Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len Kyneton 3yo+ (Bm58) March 19 over 1100m defeating Steel Choice with 61.5kg at $6. First up form is sound and this grade suits fresh. Appeals each way.

Useful type. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Morphettville 4yo+ (Bm60) February 12 over 1100m defeating Grandma Gail with 60kg at $21. The run before that 6th of 9 at Moonee Valley (Bm70) on January 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Midwest carrying 53kg at $41. Capped some good recent form with a nice win last start. Worth plenty of thought again.

Will make his own luck on speed and isn't the worst here.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; won by 0.5 len at Hanging Rock 3yo+ (Bm58) January 26 over 1000m defeating Lightning Rider carrying 61.5kg at $1.60. Before that favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Burrumbeet 3yo+ (Bm52) January 1 over 1000m defeating Daniyah with 60.5kg at $3.30. On the quick back up after running into a handy type last start. Warrants respect.

Forgive last start and go on his good form prior.

Forgive last start and go on his good form prior.
MCKEEVER (8) disappointed last start when well supported but is worth another chance here. He started favourite at this three starts prior and had run well each time without winning including a close up effort in town behind Rogue Star. Look for him to bounce back from a forward position in the run. PERSEIDS (2) creates interest dropping to this trip for the first time having run evenly on speed last start when a close up fourth as favourite. Keep safe. GOTTALUVJIMMY (4) was a winner at big odds last start off close up efforts at his two starts prior in town behind Big Day Out and Midwest. That reads well for this and he looms as a danger. KICK (7) is likely to give them a start but comes into calculations if the speed is on. A close second to More two stats ago is a good reference for this. ARCHIPETA BEACH (3) has won two of her three first up attempts in the past and warrants respect although she's yet to place over the trip.
At the latest run won by 2 len at Naracoorte (Bm58) February 6 over 1430m defeating Eagles Forever carrying 61kg at $6.50. The run before that raced three wide; 5th of 10 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 25 over 1607m, 1.75 len behind Ahadi Farasi carrying 63kg at $5. Capped some consistent form with a nice win last start. Don't take lightly.

Previous preparation first-up won by a nose (blundered at start) Ballarat Synthetic (Bm64) June 10 over 1400m defeating Fields Of Ivy with 60.5kg at $6. First up. Races well fresh and is one for the multiples.

Second run back. First-up after five months won by a head at Mornington 3yo+ Hcp (58) January 29 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Bush Christmas carrying 60kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Echuca Mdn Plate on July 3 over 1209m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Saint Tropez carrying 59.5kg at $4.80. Resumed a winner last start. Second up form is better than it reads on paper. Can win again.

Most recently rider told to use more vigour; from last on the turn 5th of 9 at Werribee 3yo+ (Bm58) on February 4 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Sphera carrying 60kg at $8.50. Before that 5th of 8 (crowded near 300m; became unbalanced; laid in in the straight) at Hanging Rock 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 26 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind End Of Day carrying 60kg at $4.50. Racing well and appeals on an each way basis.

Second run from a spell held up on straightening; 5th of 9 at Werribee 3yo+ (Bm58) on February 4 over 1400m, 3 len behind Invincible Bay with 59.5kg at $7.50. Creates plenty of interest here third up. Can go close.

Most recently got back early 6th of 11 at Donald 3yo+ Hcp (58) on January 30 over 1350m, 2.5 len behind Simkin with 54.5kg at $16. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Burrumbeet 3yo+ (Bm52) on January 1 over 1350m, 4.5 len behind Amusing Magnus carrying 58kg at $4. Prefer in something easier.

SACRED LEGACY (6) has just missed at her past two starts including last start at this track. She was well supported on both occasions and looks suited back to 1400m with the Blinkers going on. Look for her to be fighting out the finish again. TWIGGY POP (3) impressed last start when resuming a narrow winner with a good gap to third. His second up form is better than it looks on paper and he can win again. MAKE MINE HENNESSY (8) is ready to show her best third up off a close up effort when resuming in higher grade two starts ago before an unlucky run last start when in the market. Keep safe. MIETTE STAR (7) just missed last start when resuming and although her best form last preparation was over further she can get into the finish again here. EL SANTO (4) is racing well and warrants respect on his home track.
Useful gelding. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start won by a head at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm64) January 21 over 1100m defeating El Salto with 63kg at $10. The start before that 4th of 11 at Caulfield 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 12 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Kentucky Casanova with 60.5kg at $61. Class runner of the race and there's no reason why he can't carry the weight and go close again.
Useful gelding. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start won by a head at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm64) January 21 over 1100m defeating El Salto with 63kg at $10.

Second-up today. Last start 7th of 12 (began awkwardly; held up on straightening; held up near 200m) at Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 6 over 1100m, 2 len behind Tax Free Prophet with 61kg at $5. At only start last preparation 4th of 14 (began awkwardly; overraced early stages; held up near 400m) at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) on August 13 over 1100m, slow going 1.2 len behind Naval Envoy carrying 61kg at $17. Excellent effort last start when resuming. Looms as a danger.

The start before that held up near turn; made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Stawell 3yo+ (Bm70) on January 7 over 1300m, nose behind Libbyangel with 58kg at $5. This grade suits better but a place preferred.

Second-up. First-up after five months wide throughout; 5th of 12 at Moonee Valley 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 4 over 955m, 4 len behind Young Liam with 59kg at $6.

Third-up today. First-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn January 14 over 1247m on a soft track defeating I Am Enchanting carrying 56kg at $3. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Warrnambool 3yo+ (Bm58) February 3 over 1200m defeating Seeking Glory with 61.5kg at $4.50. Unbeaten in two runs back from a spell and although this is harder she should handle the rise in grade. Worth thought.

Second-up 5th of 8 at Flemington 3yo (Bm64) on January 21 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Treporti with 55kg at $13. Progressing nicely and will make her own luck on speed. Should give a sight for a long way.

ECLIPSE SOLAR (2) met trouble at a crucial stage last start when resuming but wasn't beaten far at the finish. He was well supported on that occasion and looks hard to beat up to this trip with added fitness. HAI SUN (8) was an easy winner in town at big odds when resuming last campaign and looks well placed here fresh with natural improvement. YULONG KNIGHT (1) is the class runner of the race and notched a deserved win last start after close up efforts at his two starts prior behind Pioneer River and Kentucky Casanova. Keep safe. PERFECT DARLING (12) has won both starts impressively since joining the Dabernig yard and there's no reason why she can't go close again as she works her way through the grades. GOVERNOR LANDY (13) doesn't win out of turn but rarely runs a bad race, particularly at this track. Include in the exotics.
Second-up. First-up after four months settled well back; scored a big 3.5 len win at Sapphire Coast Hcp (C1) January 29 over 1400m defeating Tornac carrying 65kg at $5. Previously second-up keen; 7th of 9 at Moonee Valley (Bm78) on August 21 over 1600m, 7 len behind Floating Artist carrying 52.5kg at $15. Resumed an easy winner last start. Appeals each way to make it two on end.

Previously second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Wodonga 3yo+ (Bm64) October 17 over 1590m defeating Wardy Boy carrying 61kg at $2.30. Forgive last start but others appear to have stronger winning claims.

Resuming after a break; won at only race start on from midfield and won by a nose at Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn December 9 over 1300m defeating Honour De Hero with 59.5kg at $12. Impressed on debut when winning narrowly in a handy Maiden. Open to improvement and is one for the multiples.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at Gawler (Bm68) on January 22 over 2100m, in the wet; 5 len behind Miss Gobcain with 58kg at $10. Before that ran last of 10 (blundered at start; lost ground; failed to respond to riding) at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on December 22 over 1800m, 10 len behind Larrikin carrying 60.5kg at $7. Thereabouts at his past two and can't be taken lightly on his home track. Keep safe.

Useful type. Last start struck interference near 1200m; second last of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 2 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Here To Shock with 59kg at $16. The race before that came from midfield and won by a head at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn January 14 over 1600m defeating Savileo carrying 59.5kg at $4. Wasn't disgraced in a handy race in town last start. Appeals each way from a forward position in the run.

Going well. At the latest run won by 1.0 len at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn January 25 over 1607m defeating Shoal Bay with 59.5kg at $5.50. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Geelong 4yo+ Mdn on January 6 over 1418m, neck behind Diss And Dot carrying 59.5kg at $3.50. Good effort last start when breaking through but prefer in something easier at this stage.

Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 5th of 8 at Pakenham 3yo+ Hcp (C1) on February 3 over 1400m, 5 len behind Master Bartholdi with 58.5kg at $10. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp on September 4 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Forgot You with 57kg at $6.50. Encouraging effort last start when first up. Has ability and warrants respect.

Last start began awkwardly; with blinkers first time; 7th of 10 at Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 6 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind This Skilled Cat carrying 58kg at $8.50. The run before that slowly away; eased back early on 6th of 11 at Pakenham 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 27 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Fac with 58.5kg at $26. Form is better than it reads on paper and could surprise approaching peak fitness fourth up.

Second run back. First-up after six months won by a nose at Donald 3yo+ Hcp (58) January 30 over 1620m defeating I'll Be Gone with 57kg at $4.50. Previously second-up raced three wide; 6th of 9 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on April 11 over 2000m, slow going 11 len behind Ready Player One carrying 57kg at $21. In winning form, will make her own luck on speed and will strip fitter second up. Although this is tougher, she can add value to the exotics.

Previously second-up raced wide without cover; 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn on May 9 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Burleigh Boy with 59.5kg at $3.30. Not far away last start behind a handy type and will strip fitter second up. Not the worst.

PARAMEDIC (10) is lightly raced and progressive. He stuck to his task well for second in town last start behind the talented Here To Shock and looks well placed to win here, fitter third up and staying at 1600m. Imported galloper EAGLEMONT (4) is open to plenty of improvement commencing his second Australian campaign and can build on an impressive third in town behind Worsfold when first up last time in. Although this trip is short of his best he looms as a danger. RUBAN BLEU (1) hasn't won for a while but put the writing on the wall in town last start when closing off nicely late behind the in form Rumbled Again who has put three wins together. He's in the mix.
