First-starter by Holler out of Calming. Watch for a market push.

SONGMAN (2) will likely get back in the field again but should appreciate the space of Bendigo compared to Mornington. He found the line well there on debut over 1000m and the extra 100m should also suit. TASMAN PARK (3) is a gelding by Ocean Park who has won a Flemington jumpout in readiness for this. May want further in time but looks to have talent. FUTURISTIC (7) is a three-year-old colt by leading sire Zoustar who has been prepared well for his debut. Drawn well for strong connections, expect he has supporters. KULINA (5) won't want it too wet but is racing consistently and worth thought for multiples.
Third-up today. Not raced for 39 days. Resuming 9th of 13 at Caulfield in the G3 Mcneil on August 27 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Jacquinot with 57kg at $8. Last start struggled in the run home; 6th of 11 at Caulfield in the G3 Gneas Prel on September 17 over 1400m, on a wet track; 9 len behind Aft Cabin carrying 56kg at $15. Should be near his top.

Most recently second last of 11 at Flemington in the G2 E Manifold on October 1 over 1600m, 7 len behind She's Licketysplit carrying 56kg at $41. The race before that came from last and 10th of 16 at Sandown-Hillside in the LR Jim Moloney on September 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Waltz On By carrying 56kg at $61. Hard to make a winning case.

ZAMBORGHINI (1) is an interesting one. He's way back in class having run midfield in very testing conditions behind the one time Caulfield Guineas favourite. The form from his first preparation reads well for this and he should get every chance. COUNT OF TOULOUSE (2) was sent out a double figure chance at Pakenham Synthetic but recorded a second tough victory in a row. Will land on the speed and prove tough to catch again. OSCAR BRAVO (4) led all of the way to win his maiden at Ballarat. Got through heavy conditions there and should be in this for a long way again. VELOCE CARRO (7) got the job done as a short priced favourite at Cranbourne and can go on with it now.
Last start 9th of 14 at Geelong Bm70 on October 19 over 2400m, 7 len behind Captain Envious with 59kg at $61. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Moonee Valley Bm78 on September 30 over 2040m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Keats with 58.5kg at $21. Still likely to struggle after 2kg claim.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 8 at Murtoa Murtoa Cup on October 1 over 2050m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Huntly Castle with 54kg at $26. Second run from a spell 5th of 7 at Horsham Hrshm Cup on October 16 over 2100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind King's Charisma with 54kg at $21. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.

OUTBACK JACK (3) can't crack a win but continues to race well and should get every chance here. He was no match for a couple last start at Geelong but this is easier. He was very good at the track and distance behind a better horse two starts ago. REDSONG (6) drops back from the 3000m but is racing very well and handles all tracks. His run two back at Flemington is good form for this. DONATRICE (8) broke through for a comfortable win at Echuca in an easier race last time out as favourite. Only lightly raced and should have no issues with the 2400m. NEWZEEL DEAL (10) was dominant on the synthetic at Ballarat last start. This is harder and he's back to turf but worth thought.
Second run back. First-up after four months 7th of 12 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on September 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Zethus with 54.5kg at $26.

NEVERSTANDINGSTILL (4) looks the clear horse to beat dropping back from listed level at Caulfield, finishing less than 3.5 lengths off the winner. She was in flying form prior and stays at 56kg. Likes wet ground, just needs even luck from the inside to be taking care of these. OVERKILL (2) is looking for his third win in a row this campaign having recorded soft wins at Hamilton and Horsham. Rates as the clear danger. ROCK ARTIST (3) dropped out to finish last at Caulfield with excuses offered post race. His best form is good enough and a wet track would help. DEEVINE (6) would also appreciate heavy ground having bolted in at Gawler three back before two sound efforts. Not the worst.

EL SALTO (3) finished sixth but wasn't beaten far last time at Morphettville Parks without the best of luck. He was strongly backed on that occasion and is very fond of wet tracks. Racing well and with even luck from the wide gate will be right in the finish. OBFUSCATION (11) is the logical horse to beat. Both runs back from a spell have been good, the latest behind a subsequent winner. Slight query dropping back to 1100m but he's right in the mix. COMMODUS (9) resumed with a sound run at Moe over 1200m. Kept fresh for this and should be thereabouts. STARZ BARWON (12) was a good maiden winner two back before a sound effort at Echuca. Still improving and should run well.

The race before that struggled in the run home; 7th of 10 at Caulfield Mares Bm90 on September 17 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Pride Of Jenni with 52.5kg at $21. Working up to a win. Worth following.
Resuming mare who has won previously first up. Finished off last campaign sixth of 14 at Flemington 3Y-Qlty June 18 over 2000m, soft track; 8 len behind Texas Tea with 54kg at $9. First up last campaign began awkwardly; fifth of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3Yof (Bm64) November 17 over 1300m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Lady Of Honour with 60.5kg at $5. Definite winning chance first-up.

AIR DEFENCE (6) ran 11th last time at Caulfield but was only beaten 3 lengths and will find this easier. His run prior at Sandown-Hillside was good and he maps for a soft run behind the pace. VAN ROY (10) comes here third up and ready to peak. He made good improvement second up and will push forward from a wide draw. SECRET GLAMOUR (12) is the class. She was tested up to 2400m at G1 level last time in and may just be too good for these despite the trip being short of her best. MERLIN'S CHARM (7) stuck on well first up at Sale behind a handy one and still has plenty of upside to come. Big chance.
Last start 14th of 18 at Caulfield in the G1 Caul Cup on October 15 over 2400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Durston carrying 52kg at $101. Before that second last of 15 at Flemington in the G1 Turnbull on October 1 over 2000m, 6 len behind Smokin' Romans carrying 54.5kg at $41. Needs to lift.

HIGH EMOCEAN (3) is the clear horse to beat on form but the likelihood of a heavy track is the query. He was beaten just 1.4 lengths in the G3 Bart Cummings last start with that form working out very well. GLINT OF HOPE (2) wasn't beaten all that far behind a dominant winner at Caulfield in the G3 Coongy Cup. She's another with wet track queries but has the class being a G1 winner. PORT PHILIP (7) is flying. This is his toughest test yet but he relishes heavy ground and is rock hard fit. No shock to see him measure up. VERIMLI (5) was well beaten behind Port Philip at Caulfield but was well in the market there and good prior at Mornington.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 13th of 16 at Sandown-Hillside Bm78 on September 25 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Pascero carrying 59kg at $41. Second-up 8th of 14 at Geelong Bm78 on October 19 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Maximus Prime carrying 58kg at $26. This race is well within his grasp.

BARRETTA (6) worked home okay without threat first up at Sale after getting a long way back from a wide draw. Has always shown plenty of promise and the 1600m should suit. Hard to hold out. ZOUMON (3) is the class. Whether he's sharp enough coming here first up off a 2800m run is the query, but his 4th to Hitotsu in the G1 ATC Derby says he's more than capable. FALLS (1) wasn't beaten all that far at Geelong second up and looks set to peak here. Races well on heavy ground and should run very well. SHULTZY (4) drops back in trip after a sound effort when second at Moonee Valley over 2040m. Racing in great form and should go well again.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at Narrandera Coota Cup on October 2 over 1600m, slow going 1.75 len behind Scarlet Prince with 59kg at $3.50.

This will test.

TOREGENE (11) resumed with a solid win at Cranbourne on heavy ground, taking her record to 3 wins from 4 starts, the only miss coming in a stronger race at Flemington. With natural progression dropping 4.5kg in the weights from an ideal draw, she can win again. DROP THE MIC (9) has run third at two runs this time in and was only beaten narrowly at Caulfield. Likes wet ground and should be peaking here. REAL SENSATION (5) beat Drop The Mic there, dropping back from 2000m. Racing well and in the mix again. NO SURRENDER (10) looks dangerous with 53kg. He was no match for Torogene at Cranbourne but drops a whopping 9kg and will take plenty of running down.
