TYCOON'S GIRL (10) was sent out favourite in town at only run 11 months ago and has not been sighted since. This will be a big drop in grade and should prove hard to beat fresh. KITANLAD (7) showed a sign of ability when filling a place at Warracknabeal last time. Has fitness on her side and is expected to run well. ARCHIE JAMES (1) has filled a place just once from six starts, which was on debut. Latest effort was sound and is worthy of respect. SURLALUNE (9) is a three-year-old filly by Puissance De Lune from Phar From Over on debut. Not seen at official trials but is trained here. Worth watching for a betting push.
Second-up. First-up after 14 months pre race incident and passed fit at barrier; 4th of 9 at Avoca 3yo+ Mdn on March 26 over 1100m, 7 len behind Whispering Tycoon carrying 59.5kg at $8.50.

Fitter and worth including.

Jumped at long odds at debut, slowly away; 9th of 11 at Ararat 3yo+ Mdn on April 2 over 1300m, 11 len behind Sir Domigo with 57.5kg at $41. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, began awkwardly; settled back and ran on when 5th of 9 at Goulburn Mdn on April 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Zeminnika carrying 57kg at $5. Second-up taken back from wide barrier and failed to handle going; ran last of 7 at Kembla Grange Mdn Hcp on April 16 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind The Gift carrying 55kg at $10. Genuine contender who finds a suitable race.

At debut, eased back early on 6th of 9 at Avoca 3yo+ Mdn on March 26 over 1100m, 11 len behind Whispering Tycoon with 57kg at $17. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on April 10 over 1200m, 13 len behind Ice Burj with 57kg at $101. Needs to do a lot more than she did on debut.

Three-year-old filly first-starter by Winning Rupert out of Icy Heels. Nice profile and any positive market lead must be respected.

At the latest run 5th of 12 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn Plate on April 5 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind More Than Discreet carrying 56kg at $4.80. Before that began awkwardly and held up near turn; ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on March 22 over 1209m, 0.5 len behind Smiling Amos with 57kg at $5. One of the better chances.

SASSY CHOICE (12) has filled a place at past two runs in what were tougher maiden races than this. Looks nicely placed and should be hard to stop. TOPEKA (13) has produced three solid efforts this campaign. Should be right at her top for this contest and is expected to go close. SURETHING TO WIN (6) is down from NSW after two fair performances. Meets an even bunch here but is not without claims. LAWBREAKER (10) is a three-year-old filly from the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace stable on debut. Would pay to keep an eye on any betting moves.
At the latest run 4th of 8 at Stawell 3yo+ Mdn on April 17 over 1600m, 4 len behind Whizz Tizz carrying 59.5kg at $26. The run before that 6th of 10 at Avoca 3yo+ Mdn on March 26 over 1860m, 2.5 len behind Dromeas carrying 59.5kg at $61. Happy enough to avoid.

Last start began awkwardly and keen; led but faded 3rd of 8 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) on April 16 over 2000m, 1.5 len behind Bellator with 56kg at $26. Wasn’t too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.

Was at big odds at debut, slowly away; got back early 7th of 9 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn on April 14 over 1400m, 7 len behind Let Fly carrying 57kg at $26. Sure to kick on with that run under the belt.

VAYAMOS (6) disappointed on the heavy track at Kilmore last time. Previous run at that track was solid and is well worth another chance. TAKHI KAHN (8) will strip fitter for first-up effort at Geelong. The rise in distance is seen as a plus. Should make a bold bid. REGAL DUKE (7) led them up when stepped up in trip last time and just battled home. Not the strongest of fields here and is worth including in the hopes. SEE YOUR POINT (4) has the blinkers going on after he faded in the run home on debut. Will be improved by the experience and is worth some thought.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up pre race incident and passed fit at barrier; 4th of 9 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 1 over 1335m, 1.75 len behind Phoenix Global with 62.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell began awkwardly; 3rd of 11 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) on April 16 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Northern Bliss carrying 60kg at $3. Fitter now and making headway. Will take beating.

First-up pre race incident and passed fit at barrier; 4th of 9 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 1 over 1335m, 1.75 len behind Phoenix Global with 62.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell began awkwardly; 3rd of 11 at Warracknabeal Hcp (58) on April 16 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Northern Bliss carrying 60kg at $3. Fitter now and making headway. Will take beating.
Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 (reared at start; keen; laid in near 300m) at Kyneton 3yo+ (Bm58) on March 31 over 1887m, 5.5 len behind Heleva Deel with 60kg at $21. The race before that began awkwardly; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on March 24 over 1612m, 5.5 len behind Staredown carrying 61kg at $17. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

ALMSGIVER (1) has now had the two runs back from a break and should be reaching peak fitness. Is going to relish the extra trip here and should be tough to beat. SOCIALITE MISS (4) scored at Ararat two runs back before leading them up and boxing on well at Warracknabeal last time. Is sure to be in this for a long way. WHEAL ROSE (3) has been racing well of late and is likely to appreciate the slightly shorter trip here. Won't be too far away at the business end. BELLATOR (5) registered a solid win at Warracknabeal last time out and is worthy of respect again.

JOLTING (1) has had the two runs back following a freshen up. Gets on to home track this time and is expected to give this a shake. PRITCHETT (3) flashed home from the tail to just miss last time.

Fit and despite the draw should give a good account of himself. LIGHTNING RIDER (6) scored at the picnics over the border in NSW two back before working home well at Ararat last time.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 3rd of 9 at Tocumwal (Bm45) on April 16 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Zarsupreme carrying 60.5kg at $7. Previously second-up slowly away; ran last of 11 at Albury Hcp (C3) on October 8 over 1175m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Branders Rule with 55kg at $101. Don't underestimate.

Most recently slowly away and disappointed for a run several times; eased back early on 6th of 9 at Ararat 3yo+ Hcp (58) on April 2 over 1600m, 13 len behind Socialite Miss with 52kg at $41. Before that began awkwardly; second last of 7 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm58) on March 18 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Darzela with 52kg at $26. Others appeal more heading into this.

TOO HARD TO HANDLE (10) has been a model of consistency but is finding it hard to breakthrough again. Close up last time and is expected to go close here. BILLY MAV (1) returns from a spell of six months. Yet to win first-up but generally runs well fresh with three minor placings from six tries. Sure to be around the money on home track. CLEVER GEORGE (5) has filled a place at past three outings. A consistent performer that is sure to run well again. FRENCH BISHOP (6) ran below expectations last time at Penola, but Mount Gambier effort prior to that was solid. Has claims in this field.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Resuming led but faded 3rd of 7 at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 20 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Mckeever with 60kg at $7.50. Second-up tactics queried and too firm; second last in a small field at Yarra Valley (Bm64) on March 20 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Baltimore Bullet with 60kg at $6. Wasn’t too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.

Before that 5th of 7 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 18 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Gaius carrying 58kg at $7. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Third-up today. Not raced for 39 days. Resuming was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.3 len at Warrnambool 3yo+ (Bm58) February 17 over 1000m on a soft track defeating French Fields with 59.5kg at $4. Second-up 4th of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 22 over 1109m, 1.75 len behind Naples carrying 58.5kg at $9. Thereabouts last time out. Definite top-three prospect.

MISS BALVENIE (12) has only had the two starts and showed plenty of promise before a break. Did trial at Colac last month and is sure to be well-primed for first-up assault. Must be respected. TRUE NOBILITY (10) is going to find this much easier than first-up assignment in town. Fitter this time and is expected to go close. UNASSAILABLE (11) is returning from a break. Fresh form is solid and has a nice gate. Won't be far away at business end. DANAUSTAR (8) is another returning from a spell. Has drawn the inside gate and is sure to be in the firing line for a long way.
