MISS SUBTLY (7) has been to the races on three occasions for three runner-up finishes. Form reads well and looks set for maiden victory here. SHE DARESTHE DEVIL (10) has shown up in both her runs to date. Is coming off a break but did win a Cranbourne trial on September 5 to prepare for this. Should go close. ENTREMET (5) produced an eye-catching effort on debut at Sandown and was then immediately spelled. Looks nicely placed here and should make a bold bid. RIPPLING BELLE (8) bumped into a handy line-up at only start and was immediately turned out for a break. Finished runner-up in a trial on September 5 and has to be respected fresh.
First-starter by American Pharoah out of Court Pastoral purchased for AUD $80,000 (Magic Millions 2021 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Is capable hands and should be well-schooled for debut. Worth keeping in mind.

BODY BOB (14) was spelled after a fair debut here in April then resumed with a solid on-pace effort at Benalla. Will strip fitter for that run and must be respected. POWERFUL EAGLE (6) is coming off a break. Bumped into a smart one last time when he battled home well after leading. Should give this a shake. EMATHION (2) was in the market and did a promising job on debut. Should be improved by the experience and is worth keeping in mind here. SIMPLY XTRAVAGANT (15) debut was sound at Murtoa before running below expectations last time. Better off back on the turf here and looks a likely improver.

MAWKEB (6) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Improved with the more racing she had last campaign but looks nicely off in this line-up to kick off campaign. Won't be too far away. GUNSHOT GLITTER (10) was far from disgraced when finishing in the placings here at only start, back in January. Shapes nicely for this. Won't be far away. SKINNY DIP (16) is returning from a break. Did show promise at initial campaign and is worthy of thought here fresh. QUEEN OF THE GREEN (7) is a four-year-old mare by Written Tycoon from Karuta Queen on debut. In leading stable and should be well-primed for first-up tilt. Do not discard.
First-starter by Le Havre out of Brodie. In good hands but is hard to assess at debut. Prefer others.

MORNINGTON MASK (9) was placed at Cranbourne and Sandown before running on well in Adelaide last time. Nicely placed over the extra ground here. Has to be respected. VALKYON (3) has only had the four starts and last couple have indicated a win is near. Gets his chance to break through. GRETA MOON (7) is close to a win after filling a place at past three outings. Looks nicely off in this company and has to be respected. GOOD LIFE DIVA (6) worked to the line well at Moe last time out and should appreciate the extra ground here. Won't be too far away.

Before that ran last of 11 at Murtoa 0 - 58 on July 17 over 1200m, on a wet track; 12 len behind Astro Castro with 56.5kg at $31. Will find this too difficult.
FOOTLIGHTS (1) produced a solid effort when resuming at Bendigo when filling a place. Will be improved with that run under the belt and the rise in trip is a plus. Won't be far away. SILENCE THE STARS (4) has been freshened. Found form in this distance range at past couple at this track. Expected to be in the finish in this line-up. STATION ONE (5) only has the only win to his credit but does show promise. Looks nicely placed at this trip fresh and should be involved in the finish. MOUNTAIN RANGE (6) resumed with a sound effort on the synthetic surface at Pakenham and with that run under the belt is worth keeping in mind here.
Recent form sound. Comes off a 53 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Casterton Mdn Hdle-Sw on July 24 over 3480m, slow going 6 len behind Dr Dependable with 66.5kg at $3.30. The start before that 3rd of 13 at Cranbourne Bm64 on July 7 over 2520m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Secret Sheema with 59kg at $6. Right in the mix again.

MAFIORE (9) raced on the speed and finally broke through for a narrow but solid win here last time after a string of minor placings. Is sure to make a bold bid here. LAUGHING GRIZZLEY (1) had been racing fairly on the flat before filling a place over jumps last time. That effort may have smartened him up for this. Consider. FRANKENSTAR (5) had been freshened before making a stack of ground on heavy track at Warranambool last time. Will be better for that run and must be given respect. MR LINCOLN (7) outplugged them to score on a heavy track at Bendigo last time at just his fourth start. Is one to keep in mind in this contest.
Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at this track Bm64 June 5 over 1715m, in the wet; 1.3 len behind Audrey Girl carrying 61kg at $21.

TAHLEQUAH (13) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Scored at Pakenham before heading to town and performing well in handy company. Looks nicely placed here fresh and should make a bold bid. MINYINGA (2) had been racing consistently before breaking through for a stylish win here last time out. Fit and looks nicely off in this company. Won't be far away. STAUNCH (6) has only had the two career runs which have been well-spaced. Looked good in his narrow first-up win and can certainly go on with it here. SYCORAX (12) found form with two solid efforts on the synthetic track at Pakenham and is worthy of thought in an open race.

COSTLESS (4) has had just the two runs for new stable and did an imposing job last time strolling home by more than four lengths at Moe. Looks well suited here and should give a bold sight. COMMODITY (11) just held on when leading throughout here two runs back before heading over to Adelaide and leading them up and just battling home. Is better placed in this company and improvement is on the cards. ZEMINNIKA (13) is down from Sydney where form has been mixed. This not the strongest of line-ups and can measure up. PHOENIX GLOBAL (3) was well supported but disappointed first-up. Has a sound second-up record and is worth keeping an eye on here.
Resumes after four months. Finished off last preparation wide throughout; sixth of 10 at Casterton Bm64 May 15 over 1400m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Thanasi carrying 61kg at $13.

Looks a leading player again.

VOLPE RISORSA (10) led throughout to break maiden status on the Ballarat synthetic last time out. Previous form had been consistent and forward showing on the cards. ROZNAMLA (11) is returning from a break. Did show promise at initial campaign and did trial at Cranbourne back in July. In good hands and is one to keep an eye on. THALURSIAN (5) has had his runs well-spaced but is one that is showing plenty of ability. Step up in trip suits and should be around the mark. LEGATUS (6) went out for a break registering a good win at Cranbourne. Has trialled in preparation for return and should not be discounted.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming sat on the pace before fading to run last of 8 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm64 on July 19 over 1100m, 8 len behind Rosalia carrying 57.5kg at $4.50.

SQUAD (13) scored first-up at Bendigo before tackling a stakes race at Caulfield last time and acquitting himself well. Is much better placed against this lot. Should go close. PEGASI (1) is back in form registering a strong win on the Ballarat synthetic last time out. That just may be the confidence booster he needed. Go well here. BENEFICIO (12) is returning from a break. Is only lightly-raced but showed some good form last campaign. Can make a bold bid fresh. FOR REAL LIFE (9) was a Mornington winner in May and three subsequent efforts have been OK. Won't be far away at the business end.
