Two-year-old gelding by Zululand out of Mascarene having his first start. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut.
Was at very long odds at debut, keen and checked near 1000m; eased back early on 10th of 14 at Geelong 2yo Mdn on April 13 over 1200m, 5 len behind Queen Of Nations with 58kg at $61. Wasn't disgraced on debut without threatening. Prefer to see again.

At debut, slowly away; raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 14 at Geelong 2yo Mdn on April 13 over 1200m, head behind Queen Of Nations with 58kg at $11. Just missed on debut and creates plenty of interest again from a forward position in the run.

Two-year-old filly first-starter by Palentino out of Gina Lollawitcha. The market will be the best guide to her chances on debut. Nicely bred and a forward showing wouldn't surprise.

TAPA CAPALL (6) impressed on debut when only going down narrowly from a forward position in the run. He'll take good improvement from the experience and on breeding will appreciate the rise in trip. He can go one better. NANNU (4) has been thereabouts in both runs back from a spell and looks ready to show his best third up. Include among the main hopes. GONG HIM RED (3) creates interest on debut and has been kept safe in early markets. Expect a forward showing from a good draw and Meech on. EL KABONG (2) ran an encouraging race on debut when big odds and is open to improvement. He's one for the exotics up to this trip. BRAMBLE (8) on debut is nicely bred and warrants plenty of respect. Don't take lightly and any market moves could prove significant.
Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 11 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn on March 24 over 1212m, 3.5 len behind Tipungwuti with 58kg at $9. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Swan Hill 3yo+ Mdn on April 11 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Booker Tee carrying 59kg at $2.90. Made nice improvement second up last start when placing. Look for another forward showing.

Resumes after a recent trial win. First up. Prefer to see making her local debut with a raft of gear changes.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign began awkwardly and lame; seventh of 11 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn December 11 over 1590m, 6 len behind Brass Eye carrying 56kg at $2.30. When resuming last campaign checked near 200m and became unbalanced; seventh of 10 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn September 10 over 1200m, 3 len behind Playing It Safe carrying 56kg at $7. First up form is sound. Perhaps a place.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on April 10 over 1200m, 13 len behind Ice Burj carrying 57kg at $101. Needs plenty of improvement on debut effort to figure in the finish here.

EXTREME EMOTION (10) can be forgiven for last start when she failed to fire when favourite. She gets the Blinkers off here and looks suited back to this track and trip where she finished a close up third the start prior to the progressive Detonator Jack who is bound for better races. She appeals each way. CELSIUS STAR (2) only found one better on debut in a race run in good time. He'll take good improvement from that and looks well placed stepping up in trip. Keep safe. BELLE ET RICHE (9) has placed at all three starts to date when well supported on each occasion. It would be no surprise to see her go close fitter third up after just missing last start. PENCILED (6) ran well for second first up last start from a forward position in the run and is an each way hope again with added fitness. SIAMESE (12) creates interest resuming and a forward showing can be expected with natural improvement. Include in the exotics.
Third-up today. First-up 5th of 9 (began awkwardly; lost ground; eased near 800m) at Ararat 3yo+ Hcp (58) on April 2 over 1200m, 7 len behind Mt Buller carrying 57kg at $12. Second-up got back early 6th of 10 (overraced middle stages; laid in in the straight; rider charged with careless riding) at Kerang 3yo+ Mdn on April 16 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Balzando carrying 59.5kg at $17. Others have stronger winning claims.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track 3yo+ Mdn on April 20 over 1600m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Bors with 59kg at $13. The start before that overraced early stages and laid out concluding stages; settled back, ran on when with blinkers first time; 7th of 12 at Ballarat 3yo+ Mdn on March 8 over 2000m, slow going 14 len behind Live By The Sword carrying 59kg at $16. A lesser chance.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 9th of 11 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on April 10 over 1400m, 8 len behind Divina Show carrying 57.5kg at $101. Failed to fire on debut. Prefer to see again.

Was well in the market at debut, slowly away; 5th of 9 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn on April 14 over 1400m, 6 len behind Let Fly with 57kg at $4.50. Even effort on debut and capable of sharp improvement up to this trip second time to the races.

Third-up today. First-up eased back early on 8th of 13 (began awkwardly; held up near 200m; held up concluding stages) at Benalla 3yo+ Mdn Plate on March 29 over 1206m, 4 len behind Prooinga carrying 57kg at $17. Second run from a spell struck interference on straightening; 6th of 9 at Benalla 3yo+ Mdn on April 12 over 1406m, 4.5 len behind Zero Cases with 57kg at $4. Looks suited stripping fitter and out to this trip third up. Appeals each way.

Was at long odds at debut, struck interference at start; eased back early on 5th of 7 at Geelong 3yo Mdn on April 13 over 1400m, 2 len behind Enuff He Said with 56kg at $26. Encouraging effort on debut. Open to improvement. Don't take lightly.

Resumes off a 38 day let-up. Last start 5th of 10 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn Plate on March 24 over 1612m, 1.75 len behind Claidheamh Mor with 57kg at $4. The start before that 4th of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ Mdn on March 9 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind British Columbia with 57kg at $31. Thereabouts in a driving finish behind a smart type last start. Not the worst.

ROBERT THE PUSS (2) has placed at three of his four starts back from a spell and a win isn't far away. He stuck to his task well last start when a close up fourth on the Heavy and stepping up to this trip looks suitable. He can go close travelling just forward of midfield in the run from an inside gate. SACRED KENSHI (3) has been thereabouts in all three runs to date and creates plenty of interest out to this trip with the Blinkers on. Look for him late. BELLA AUSTRALIS (8) will take plenty of benefit from her debut effort when well supported and this trip and further will be suit better. She appeals each way. FOREST DIAMOND (9) will strip fitter third up and this distance will suit. Include in the multiples. LADY WHISTLEDOWN (11) was good in a driving finish last start behind a promising type in this distance range. Look for further improvement.
First-up. Finished off last campaign lost a plate; with blinkers first time; seventh of 10 at Mildura 3yo Mdn July 24 over 1100m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Gaius carrying 58kg at $67. First up last campaign third of 8 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn Plate June 12 over 975m, 3.5 len behind Tax Free Prophet with 56kg at $4.50. This looks too tough.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up struck interference at start and became unbalanced; 4th of 12 at Ballarat 3yo+ Mdn on March 27 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Hot And Strong with 59kg at $51.

Forgive last start when things didn't go his way. Looms as a danger on his home track.

Five-year-old mare (Reward For Effort - Jesterfide) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. The market will be the best guide to her chances on debut.

Most recently second last of 7 (overraced early stages; raced below expectations; lame) at this track 4yo+ Mdn on April 20 over 1100m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Giveitall Girl carrying 57.5kg at $8.50. The run before that 6th of 11 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on April 10 over 1400m, 3 len behind Divina Show carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Thereabouts at her past two when well fancied. Worth another chance with the Blinkers on.

Previously first up; second last of 13 at Ballarat 3yo+ F&M Mdn October 21 over 1000m, 11 len behind Ravaged Award carrying 58kg at $61. Has been plain at her past two starts and a place appears her best prospect.

GAME TO LOVE (5) has placed at both her runs to date when well in the market on each occasion. From a forward position in the run and with Meech taking the ride she looks a good chance of breaking through. LARRY OF ARABIA (2) creates plenty of interest on debut having been well supported in early markets. Drawn ideally a forward showing wouldn't surprise. SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH (10) was no match for the winner two starts ago before pulling up with an excuse last start. Her form prior was sound and she's worth another chance with the Blinkers going on. ZEDEMSKI (3) was a forget run last start when she was held up at a crucial stage when travelling well. She was well supported on that occasion and appeals each way on the quick back up. PRETTY PANDA (8) was a distant third last start but could add value to the exotics stripping fitter.
Useful type. Most recently favourite; won by a nose at Swan Hill 3yo+ (Bm58) April 11 over 975m defeating Soweto Haze carrying 64kg at $2.90. Before that wide throughout; 9th of 11 at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 27 over 1000m, 6 len behind Hydro Star with 61.5kg at $9. In winning form and can't be underestimated.

Godolphin filly SALAMANDERS (13) stuck to her task well when resuming on the Heavy going last start when in the market. She has good ability on her day has been tried in better races without being disgraced. She looks well placed second up here and could be value each way in early markets. SWEET MARY (10) was slightly disappointing last start when midfield as favourite when resuming. She was competitive in town earlier in the season and is capable of sharp improvement with the Blinkers on. SAFE SECRET (4) impressed when an easy winner last start resuming from a long spell. This is harder but he should measure up. KOOTARA (2) is three from three at the track and handles the sting out of the ground. She could be a blow out back in grade. UPPER EAST SIDE (1) is in winning form and rarely runs poorly. Include in the multiples.
Most recently eased back early on 12th of 15 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 15 over 1100m, 10 len behind Red Hot Nicc carrying 59.5kg at $31.

Never a factor last start when well back the whole way. Back to this grade suits and capable of bouncing back.

SINGLE HONOR (4) was an easy winner on the Heavy three runs ago before two close up efforts behind progressive types Yulong Phelps and Dazzling Lucy. This trip should suit and he looks hard to beat getting onto the bigger track. BEAUTIFUL BEE (7) has returned in good fashion this time in including a close up effort at this track last start in higher grade. She can handle give in the ground and appeals each way back to this class. EXPRESS MASTER (3) creates plenty of interest second up off a sound placing on the Heavy when resuming last start in this distance range. Keep safe with added fitness and down in grade. THE RUNNING MAN (1) got well back last start and was never a factor but his form prior was good and he can bounce back dropping to this grade despite the weight. DALROSHIO (5) impressed when winning narrowly on debut with a good gap to third. Include among the main hopes with natural improvement.
At the latest run held up on straightening; ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Stawell (Bm64) on April 17 over 1600m, neck behind Magnolia Rose carrying 62kg at $10.

Just missed last start but it's been a long time between wins. Take on trust.

Most recently keen; 5th of 8 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 21 over 2000m, in the wet; 5.5 len behind Court Painter carrying 62kg at $8.50. The start before that 3rd of 9 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 7 over 2000m, 2 len behind Sebastian The Fox carrying 62kg at $12. Likely to make his own luck on speed but others have stronger winning claims.

At the latest run eased near 300m; 2nd of 11 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) on April 16 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Northern Bliss carrying 57.5kg at $21. Before that raced below expectations; failed to make an impression; 6th of 9 at Ararat 3yo+ Hcp (58) on April 2 over 2000m, 6 len behind Sky Hero carrying 58kg at $5. Better effort last start but looking to others here.

LUNARES (10) had excuses two starts ago in town when things didn't go her way in the run before sticking to her task well last start for fourth when kept safe in the market. She looks a good chance up to this trip with the Blinkers going on. MICHANTE (5) will take plenty of benefit from his close up effort behind the handy Euro Dandy last start when first up. This trip is ideal and another win isn't far away as his fitness levels increase. BROOKLYN BOSS (2) was a narrow first up winner two starts ago when favourite before meeting trouble at a crucial stage last start in a strong race. Look for him to bounce back here. TYCOON BEAU (8) is progressing nicely this campaign and looks ready to win approaching peak fitness fourth up. SURIN BEACH (7) doesn't win out of turn but warrants plenty of respect on his home track having finished close up at his past four starts. Keep safe.
Second run back. First-up after five months slowly away and held up in straight; 3rd of 11 at Benalla 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 29 over 1206m, 1.0 len behind Vici carrying 61kg at $10.

Returned in good form last start. Capable of figuring again here with added fitness.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) April 1 over 1335m defeating Huguenot with 63kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm58) March 8 over 1200m in soft going defeating Gunna Gunna with 61kg at $2.40. Looks ideally placed to make it three on end.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Pakenham 3yo+ F&M (Bm64) January 20 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind No Puzzle with 61kg at $10. On debut failed to finish at Wangaratta 3yo+ F&M Mdn September 14 over 1100m. First up. It would be no surprise to see her run well fresh.

PHOENIX GLOBAL (3) looks to get a few things in his favour in pursuit of three straight wins. He should get the perfect run on speed from an inside draw and he handles the sting out if the rain arrives. This trip is ideal, he loses nothing with Meech going aboard and looks the one to beat again. DIVINA CALLE (9) is lightly raced and progressing nicely. She impressed two starts again when breaking her Maiden coming from well off the pace before backing that up last start in town with a solid fourth behind the handy Ceasar. She should be thereabouts at the finish. GYMNASTICS (10) can be forgiven for last start and can get a better run in transit from an inside draw. She looms as a danger. COMTE (2) has placed at his past three starts and appeals each way again if it stays dry. MARKETING (1) ran an encouraging placing last start when resuming down in grade which suggests he could be in for a good campaign.
