OFFENSIVE CHARM (7) had backing before racing on the speed but was no match on debut at Bendigo. Is the only one to have raced previously which is sure to hold her in good stead. A forward showing in expected here. RHESUS (5) is a colt by Lonhro out of Calliope stepping out on debut for the James Cummings stable. Has shown promise in jump-outs and any market move will be significant. DEADLY PRESS (3) is a two-year-old colt from the Nick Ryan yard on debut. Has jumped-out well and if the money comes, then he will be worth following. DREAMWOMAN (6) is a filly from the Leon & Troy Corstens yard on debut. Has shown ability in jump-outs and will pay to follow any market move.
Gelding back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break.

This is an ideal race to kick off in. A top hope.

KUROLATION (2) should be at his peak now following three runs from a spell. Has filled a place in past couple at Cranbourne in handy maiden line-ups. Looks nicely off here and should go close. COUNTRY'S LIGHT (1) is returning from a break. Was placed in handy line-up two starts back then was not quite ready for the trip last time. Looks nicely off fresh this trip. Should run well. DELTA SKY (9) has filled a place in only two race day appearances. Rise in trip should not pose a problem. Has to be considered. MAGIC FLYER (4) produced a much better effort when filling a place at Werribee last time and must be given thought here.

FIRST IMMORTAL (7) has been showing steady improvement as the races have got longer. Just missed at Moe last time and the rise in trip here looks ideal. Should go close. MASTER POLANSKI (5) put the writing on the wall of a coming win with his placing at Bairnsdale last time. Should have no trouble with the extra trip. Expected to run well. JACKAND (9) filled a place for the first time when stepped up to 2000m at Warrnambool last time. Likely to appreciate the extra ground. Has claims. CALVI (14) has finished in the money at two of his three career starts and the rise in trip here is a plus. Has to be respected.

BUOYANT (1) broke through at second run for new stable with maiden win at Casterton before battling away in town last time. Is better placed in this company and is worthy of respect. HOGAN (4) was a maiden winner three starts back at Bairnsdale and efforts since have been mixed. Wasn't far away at Cranbourne last time and is worthy of thought here. DIAMOND LUKE (2) doesn't have the best winning strike-rate but is capable on his day. Is on the quick back-up after running at Terang on Tuesday. Is worth thought. MORPURGO (3) turned in a much better performance when filling a place at Wangaratta last time. Rise in trip here should assist. Looks a threat.
Most recently failed to make an impression; ran last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Cl1 on December 7 over 1400m, 13 len behind Riverplate carrying 57kg at $101.

Prefer to watch at this stage.

BELLUNA (7) raced on the speed and was too strong in a stylish maiden win at Hamilton. Rises in grade here but this is not overly strong. Expected to feature prominently. ALPHAVILLE (4) disappointed at Moe last time after stringing together three consecutive runner-up finishes. Can bounce back here. CAILLOUX (13) has been in the money in his past four attempts. Stable is going well at present and a forward showing is on the cards. OCEAN RAIDER (2) filled a place first-up at Wangaratta before a disappointing effort in town last time. Look for a better run this time.

ROCK DEE JAY (5) scored maiden win at Seymour three runs back and subsequent runs have been solid. Worked home well at Colac last time and is expected to feature prominently here. JUST A THEORY (11) finally got the job done when breaking through for maiden win at Hamilton. Has the ability and may be able to go on with it following that confidence boosting win. AUTUMN ROSE (9) only has one win from 14 starts but is rarely too far from the money. Is a threat again in an open race. KITANLAD (12) looked strong in breaking through for maiden win at Colac. Can back up that effort with another bold showing here.

IT'S THERE (2) has followed up a Ballarat synthetic maiden win with a couple of solid turf performances at Wangaratta and Benalla. Looks suited here in an open race. Demands respect. PROPHET'S CHOICE (12) can mix up her form. Disappointed at Terang two runs back but efforts either side were solid. Not without claims. SINGLE HONOR (7) is working up to a win following recent placings at Moe and Colac. Is nicely placed here and won't be far away. RUSHEEN (3) is returning from a break. Lined up in some handy company last campaign. Should be well-primed for first-up assault. Don't dismiss.
