IT'S MY TURN (11) has returned this campaign with three placings from three runs, the past couple when finishing runner-up. Was just nutted last time and can go one better here. PERFECT COSTA (6) led them up at Burrumbeet last time and was run down late. Will be in the firing line for a long way here. Has claims. DAN'S ECHO (4) is returning from a break. Form was mixed last campaign but on best form must be respected. BLACKBOOK (9) is a daughter of Alpine Eagle from Dis Da Boss who was a $30,000 yearling purchase and lines up for the first time. In good hands and any market move will be significant.

MIDIVANI (11) resumed with a solid placing at Mornington when in the market. Fitter this time and rise in trip should be ideal. Has to be respected. STEAK KNIVES (5) resumes. Found form towards the end of last campaign. Looks suited here fresh and has Dean Yendall aboard. Won't be far away. ITALIAN VIRTUOSO (14) was stepped up in trip at Yarra Valley last time and battled home gamely. Looks better off in this maiden line-up and should not be dismissed. THRILL OFTHE FIGHT (6) is a gelding by Street Boss who was a $30,000 (Inglis 2020 Classic Yearling Sale) purchase and is produced at the races for the first time. In good hands and it will be worth following any market moves.

MAXIMS (3) made a promising start to career when filling a place at Terang on debut. Will be all the better with that run under belt and a forward showing is expected. READY SET TAP (8) is close to breaking through for maiden win having filled a place at past three starts. Gets that chance here. LORD OF PENNO (1) freshened before working to the line in good order at Stawell last time. Fitter this time and won't be too far away. XYLINA WARRIOR (9) has been around the money in four of her last five starts and is deserving of a maiden win. Has to be given consideration.

SARNIA (5) has been successful in two of past four starts. Was far from disgraced last start in tougher contest than this. Will be up on the speed and should be tough to run down. ITALIAN POET (1) found it hard to win before going for a break and two runs back have been full of merit. Should be near his top now and won't be far away. BACK IN ACTION (2) has had the three runs back following a break and past couple have been full of merit. Is nicely off here and is expected to run well again. JUMPIN' JAGUAR (3) scored at Geelong before posting another creditable performance at Werribee last time. Has found form and must be respected.

Right in the mix again.

SIR DOMIGO (1) got too far back at Stawell last time after filling a place in both his previous outings. Is back in trip here but is sure to be finishing hard. Will give this a shake. TRUE METTLE (16) has been in the money at past couple. Can mix his form but on best behaviour won't be too far away. STIRRUP (13) was a shade disappointing at Kilmore last time after scoring a strong win at Mornington prior to that. Is well suited in this grade and should go close. INALA MICHELLE (8) is returning after a break. Is having first run for the Lindsey Smith stable and cannot be left out of calculations.

MINGORA (8) has had the three runs back from a spell and past couple have indicated he is coming along nicely. Won't be too far from the money. PYTHAGORAS (1) was a shade disappointing when stepped up in grade at Warrnambool last time. Drops in grade here and has to be given respect. BOADICEA (9) is aiming for three straight following wins at Bordertown and Geelong. Looks suited in a race like this and won't be far away. HONOUR DE HERO (7) was easy in the market but won with authority at Burrumbeet last time. That made it two wins from past three starts. Has claims again.

RIOT AND ROSE (2) should be at his peak following three runs back following a long break. Effort in town last time was full of merit and he's better off in this company. Should go close. BLACK SAIL (1) has had his last three starts in tougher company in town. Was far from disgraced behind So Si Bon last time and will find this a more suitable assignment. INTELLECTIVE (5) was freshened before hitting the line strongly in weaker race at Warrnambool last time. Drops in weight but strips fitter. Has claims. SAINT OF KATOWICE (3) scored an impressive first-up win at Sandown before disappointing at Randwick last time. Is better than that and can bounce back.
Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Mt Gambier 3Up Mdn-Sw January 4 over 1560m defeating Go Now with 58kg at $41. Before that sat on the pace before fading with blinkers first time; 10th of 13 at Terang Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1400m, 13 len behind Rapinoe carrying 59.5kg at $101. Needs plenty of luck.

The run before that won by a head at Horsham Mdn-Sw December 18 over 1400m defeating Shocking Habit with 59.5kg at $17. Just missed last start but likely to struggle this time.

RICHMOND POET (4) doesn't have a great win strike-rate but has been racing well of late. Step up in trip shouldn't pose a problem. Has solid claims. TWELVE BELLS (3) was a Traralgon winner four runs back and performances since have been solid. Looks nicely placed in this. Should make a bold bid. HANMER SPRINGS (7) led throughout in a brave display at Mornington last time. Should have no problems handling the extra ground. Can go close. NOSTRADAM MAN (10) produced a better performance when filling a place at Burrumbeet last time and may be able to continue the good work here.
