FLY ON BYE (3) peaks off three provincial placings. Gets the blinkers first time and has the speed to clear the outside gate. The one to beat. CHOCO ROCK (2) resumes and didn't handle the wet track on debut. He is sure to have come on and can use the rail. Expect the colt to be up to this. BATTLE TALENT (1) placed distantly here on debut in the market. Races handy and can improve into the finish with the extra fitness. TOKELAU DRIFT (6) is in good hands and was 11-5 but pulled up with an issue on debut. Is back after 23 days and has to be kept very safe.
At debut, slowly away; 6th of 10 at Yarra Valley 4yo+ Mdn on October 23 over 1000m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Founex carrying 59.5kg at $21. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign keen and raced four wide; second last of 12 at Wodonga 3yo+ Mdn March 27 over 1590m, soft track; 15 len behind Quantrell with 59.5kg at $41. When resuming last campaign overraced early stages and raced four wide; eighth of 11 at Wodonga 3yo+ Mdn December 10 over 1200m, 8 len behind Grindelwald carrying 59.5kg at $21. Form last time in not good enough.

SHE'S ORIGINAL (8) led and missed a lip here second-up making sharp improvement. Has an outside gate but fitter is a quinella chance. FOREST DIAMOND (10) debuts form a low barrier and profiles well. The stable has a good record this venue. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (4) debuts for a top barn and trialled earlier in the year. Draws out but the market needs close monitoring with him as well.
At the latest run 7th of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on October 22 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Costaway carrying 59.5kg at $31.

BATTAGLIA (1) has placed 3/4 this preparation and was favourite here the latest. Races at peak fitness and can break through. STILLER (4) has switched barns and was heavily-backed both starts last preparation at the provincials. Will be better over longer but has placed this trip. Is likely to be presented forward but the 1.5kg claimer has to manage an outside gate. SINGLE TAIL (11) missed a nose first-up at Echuca coming from the back. He will be much better for that and gets the chance to go one better. SUR RONHLO (5) is also on the improve. Could find himself strung up from the rail, but can make the board.
Second-up. First-up after five months hampered near 400m and laid in in the straight; 7th of 11 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on October 25 over 1406m, 3 len behind Donndubhan carrying 61.5kg at $17. Previously second-up raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on February 25 over 1112m, 2 len behind Porky Pine carrying 62.5kg at $6. Don't underestimate.

Weak. PERFECT WAR (8) didn't get into it at Echuca but won and placed the two before and they read well. He misses the kick but looks capable of coming over them. DREAMWAKER (6) has been racing well without winning. Gets the visors first time and this looks a suitable assignment. The local GREAT BAY (1) did enough first-up here to say he's a chance with the extra fitness.
Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 3rd of 11 at Bendigo 3yo+ Hcp (58) on October 16 over 1400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Red Cracker carrying 56kg at $6.

REGGAE ROC (2) was good beaten 1.6L at Kilmore. He will go close with a repeat of that. BENJAMERY (7) missed a nose at Wagga in the 50 this distance. Will settle off them but gets plenty of weight relief and is a player. ELOPE TO VEGAS (1) is building and is on 8-day return. The barn goes well here.

REBEL RACER (2) has been racing in town in much stronger. Reaches peak and has the figures to be winning. ALLOWAY (3) wasn't beaten far at Kilmore in the 64 and forgive the run after. Has switched yards on a 26 day turnaround and finally gets a handy gate. SECRET WAY (4) is fast and seeks the hat-trick off the easy 58 win here. Gets in very light this grade with a 3kg claimer atop and looks capable of managing the trip and going on. WRITTEN ADVICE (7) is also up from the mile and won the 58 two back. She also gets plenty of weight relief and won't be far away.

Competitive. KANIVA (9) raced favourite first-up beaten 2.6L and will be better for it. He has plenty up the sleeve and has the speed to sit handy. Looks the one to beat. SWIFT HIT (2) has placed the last two with the latest here. Should find cover and is ready to win. FRENCH STAR (10) also draws out but has been close-up the last three but it's been a long time between drinks. RUSHFORD (4) was tracking like a winner before the heavy-track flop. Draws well and he's is also a chance.
