MEINER LEGACY (5) on top in the opener after finding the line well off a wide run at this track. He's bursting to win one and should go close in a similar race. THINKING MAN (7) wasn't far off the top selection last time out and has to be respected off that fact alone. ROAD TO BLUE SKY (6) comes across from the synthetic after a sound effort at Pakenham last time. Should be running on. IN THE WOODSHED (1) got a long way back last time but ran on well and will appreciate the extra trip.
Second-up. First-up after six months didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 9 at Kilmore 2yo+ Mdn on May 26 over 1450m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Jennivaci carrying 59.5kg at $2.40. Previously second-up began awkwardly; raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 13 at Rosehill 3yo Mdn Hcp on November 17 over 1400m, 6 len behind Banana Queen carrying 58.5kg at $7.50. Fitter and among the chances.

At the latest run failed to handle going; 3rd of 8 at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn on May 27 over 1400m, 4 len behind Mister Businessman carrying 58kg at $2.80. The race before that 7th of 9 at Newcastle E&G Mdn on May 14 over 1200m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Backrower with 60kg at $17. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

ALLEGEDLY (3) looks hard to beat. He was well in the market first up in Australia at Pakenham and boxed on fairly after leading. Will strip much fitter and has plenty of upside. ADAIR (1) was just fair first up at Kilmore as favourite but respect the connections and he can improve sharply. RURA PENTHE (8) was good on debut at Sale over 1400m and will have come on from that. Respect. AIRRAID (2) ran on strongly at Ballarat Synthetic last time out and looks suited to the rise in trip.
First starter. Two-year-old colt by Golden Horn out of Alternatively. Trialled a while ago when out of the placings at Hawkesbury over 800m February 1. Worth watching the market closely.

IT'S MY TURN (18) on top in a lottery of a race. She ran a great race on debut behind an impressive winner, finishing 1.75 lengths away in second. Maps just behind the speed and can go one better. WHISKEY HANGOVER (7) is a first starter by All Too Hard who beat a smart one in a recent trial and looks talented enough to win on debut. CHOPIN (3) is a colt on debut for James Cummings and must be respected with Damien Oliver taking the ride. JATOBI (17) was good on debut at Ballarat and has vital race experience.

FINANCE HARLEM (2) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Tom Dabernig yard and gelded since last run. He's tackled some very good horses in maiden grade in NSW and will be hard to beat first up. KEPPEL BAY (8) ran fairly first up at Cranbourne as favourite, working to the line to be beaten 3.25 lengths. Will strip fitter and should figure. NASDANA (13) comes here fresh. Her run at Donald before a spell was solid and she should get a nice run. WINNERS BET (6) is a three-year-old gelding by Muhaarar from Turaathy on debut today. Worth watching for a betting push.
Third-up today. Resuming won by 0.8 len at Echuca 2yo+ Mdn May 14 over 1400m in the wet defeating Mr Nafplion with 59.5kg at $4.30. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Ballarat 2yo+ Hcp (C1) on May 29 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Brookline carrying 59kg at $6. Promising galloper. Should go well.

Certainly one for the multiples.

HEARTS AND MINDS (2) is racing well this preparation, winning first up on heavy ground at Echuca before a sound effort at Ballarat last time. Gets blinkers on first time and will appreciate cut in the ground. ASPEN COLORADO (1) is a handy horse resuming but will need every inch of today's trip. Watch for him working to the line. OUR BOY BRYAN (3) hit the line fairly at Flemington last time out and will find this much easier. Ready for another crack at 1400m. OLD FASHIONED (5) was just fair in a stronger race last time over 1600m but this looks a nice race.
Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Freshened for 37 days. Resuming slowly away; ran last of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm78) on April 18 over 1600m, slow going 15 len behind Hosier carrying 54.5kg at $26. Second-up ran last of 14 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo+ (Bm70) on May 11 over 1800m, slow going 19 len behind Eaglemont carrying 60kg at $81. Needs to find lengths to test these.

Capable of a big finish so don’t write him off.

FERAGO (9) was a dominant winner at this track in lower grade last time, racing on the pace and winning by 4.25 lengths. He's up in class but should strike similar conditions and can win again. QUIET ESCAPE (10) is an interesting one, making her debut in Australia. She's coming off a listed win in Ireland, be very wary of the market as the stable can get them fit. CATSKILL MOUNTAIN (5) kept coming over 2000m at Ballarat last time out and is having a good preparation. Hard to toss again. BAZINI (8) narrowly got the cash at Hamilton last start and should run well in this tougher event.

Rates highly and can do much better.

BELLA TIARA (1) was just fair first up at Flemington but wasn't far from the winner and will find this much easier. She's better than Bm64 grade at her best and will take some beating. VITANI (13) was a dominant 5 length winner at Kilmore in an easier race last time and can go on with it now. CHEERFUL MOMENT (5) struggled when ridden on the speed at Caulfield last time out and may improve with a quieter ride. Good chance on best form if he can find it. MIXMULTI (12) has upside after just two career runs and did win on heavy ground on debut.

MCKEEVER (1) on top in the last. He was just a head away in a slightly tougher race here last time out after sitting on the pace. Has shown a liking for wet tracks and will appreciate the drop in class. CHAIN (8) was a narrow but strong maiden winner before a spell, beating a handy field. May have come on over the break and looks a danger. ROLLING MOSS (4) bounced back to form with a big win at Echuca last start. Likes it wet and can win again. BIG APPLE (5) resumes off a jumpout win and was last seen running third in a much stronger race at Caulfield. A repeat of that run goes very close in this, just not sure about a heavy track.
