KIMMY BE COOL (9) just missed at Corowa and is suited up to the middle distance. Draws for the run of the race and Stackhouse in a positive jockey booking. REFORESTATION (5) races at peak and has been mixing trips. He's good enough and an improved effort is on the cards. BELLA VINCI DOVE (8) has been threatening at the Mile. First time at 2000m and expect her to see it out. SPIRIT OF GREG (6) is also up from the mile and may prove next best.
Resuming after four months. Finished off last campaign when in in the straight; ran last of 8 at Wagga Plate (C1) September 18 over 2000m, soft track; 11 len behind Dolphina with 56.5kg at $13. First up last campaign hit rail near 800m; sixth of 13 at Wagga 3yo Mdn July 5 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Last War carrying 57kg at $31. Can sneak into the finish.

At debut, second last of 12 at Corowa Mdn on December 28 over 1200m, 7 len behind Rivaldo with 57.5kg at $7. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Three-year-old gelding first-starter by Danbird out of Asia Winds. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer others.

TERN AND GO (12) was wide and came home well placing at Geelong first-up at 7-2. Led and just missed there three-back on debut and fitter can find that level of form. PSYCHOKINESIS (11) brings solid efforts to peak. She's also in good hands and will get her chance with the winkers coming off. SHE'S ORIGINAL (10) will use the rail and is busting to win. She can ride the speed from the rail and is a player. LIKA MOSH (9) and SPEEDY AKEEDY (3) are stablemates going well enough to consider.
Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn Plate June 20 over 1400m, 8 len behind Cracking Night with 59.5kg at $61. On debut wide throughout; seventh of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn Plate June 7 over 1200m, 12 len behind Full Probe carrying 58kg at $81. Unlikely to threaten.

Most recently 5th of 14 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn on December 23 over 1000m, 7 len behind In Due Time carrying 56kg at $15. The race before that 7th of 10 at Tatura 3yo Mdn on November 20 over 1450m, 8 len behind Inviva with 56kg at $21. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
DUNVEGAN (2) impressed first-up beaten a lip at Wangaratta and then disappointed there after and prepared to forgive. Gets the blinkers first time in a key gear switch and has the speed to make short work of the sticky gate. Fitter he rates to be winning. PINNACLE ROCK (6) trailed well and was okay on debut. Raced new and will have taken learning and fitness. Gets the winkers first time and can make the finish. ANAHERA (7) just missed at Wangaratta and then went back and didn't get into it from a wide gate. Draws sticky again but has a senior hoop aboard for the 3kg apprentice. STORMY MISTRESS (12) is an improver drawn low and may prove best of the rest.
Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 6th of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 18 over 1606m, on a slow track; 12 len behind The Cunning Fox carrying 58kg at $11. Before that began awkwardly and rider lost iron; 6th of 13 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 2 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Nasha carrying 59.5kg at $31. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.

First starter. Three-year-old colt by Reward For Effort out of Renierae. Trialled recently when out of the placings over 850m at Tatura December 8. Not helped by a wide barrier. Each-way hope.

BOHO MISS (8) has a wide draw but brings strong form to peak. Just missed three times at Kyneton before a tough run at Echuca. Rates well and Stackhouse is a positive jockey switch. VIKANDER (13) ran out off puff late at Mornington but had been threatening prior. Has the speed to clear the sticky gate and should take pegging back despite the longer trip. MONGOLIAN FLAME (11) was 11-4 but didn't get into it first-up. Showed enough prior on debut to suggest she's a chance with the extra fitness. WHITE SPICE (14) is a speedy improver drawn to advantage. In the mix.
Second run back. First-up after four months 7th of 10 at Echuca 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 31 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Valoyd with 62.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Werribee 3yo+ Mdn on March 4 over 1429m, 6 len behind Dissonance with 59.5kg at $12. Fitter but must improve sharply.

FREE FLYING STAR (14) peaks and has just been nudged out her last two heavily-bet. Has to manage an outside gate but can be winning with average luck. SIREN ROCK (2) was beaten a lip first-up as favourite and has more to give. In a top barn and he is feared. THEN (15) draws for the run of the race and was tracking well before the latest. She's going well enough to consider. BELLOWS (4) got closer the latest and is racing well enough to fill a slot.

Wide open on paper. MISCHINKA (9) won this grade and trip comfortably at Wangaratta and then was well-backed again beaten 1.9L at Hanging Rock. Draws for a soft run and can bounce back.

SHULTZY (2) won the Echuca Maiden by a space. third-up and has come back to racing much improved. A player. WRITTEN ADVICE (10) is much better than the form-line suggests. Briefly freshened and deserves consideration.

Open. SLY SAMBA DEER (8) has the speed to manage the wide gate and can build on the placing here 29 days ago. A senior hoop takes over from the 4kg apprentice. SUNSHINE MOSHE (2) was just beaten at Echuca quickly finding his best. Is ready to win and looks a danger. Stablemate REDOLLIX (4) is knocking on the door and came hard beaten 1.3L the latest in stronger grade. Draws well with a handy claim and is in the mix. SWIFT HIT (3) is knocking on the door and keeps improving. A player but needs a good ride pushing forward from a wide barrier.
