Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Deep Field out of Ki Ki. Trialled recently when eighth on August 9 at Cranbourne over 800m. Betting the best pointer.

Second-up. First-up after four months 2nd of 10 at this track 3yo Mdn on August 6 over 1000m, on a wet track; 2.75 len behind Little Miss Kubi with 56kg at $5.50.

COUNT OF TOULOUSE (2) promising Lonhro gelding resuming. At second start last prep taken to the front and just failed when 2nd over 1235m at Geelong on April 29. Given the one trial back at Cranbourne and should have strengthened up further now. Go close. CUSTODIAN (3) is a smart Shalaa colt who ran 6th in the Black Opal Stakes won by Queen Of The Ball over 1200m at Canberra on debut five-and-a-half months ago. That run was full of merit and will take plenty of holding out in this first-up. WOK STAR (12) raced on the pace from the wide draw when second over 1000m at this track first-up. Will strip fitter now and can take a hand in the finish. HE'LL RIP (11) is a three-year-old Hellbent colt from the Leon & Troy Corstens yard on debut today. No trial form but must be kept safe.
Four-year-old gelding (Myboycharlie - Stralara) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. This looks a tricky race for him.

TREOTTO (6) lightly-raced 4yo gelding resuming for the Kent yard. Showed promise last time in with a second and even fourth. Looked sharp in a recent trial win over 900m on August 9. Should be primed for a first-up victory. SIGNAL (5) is hard fit now and been around the money at all five starts. Used up from the gate to cross and race on the speed before condition gave out when fifth over 1230m at Geelong last start. No excuses today from the better gate. COSTLESS (2) had a change of stable and returned in good order when wound up strongly to run second over 1106m at Sale on August 11. Further improved now and looks one of the leading contenders. PHASE OF WAR (7) is a lightly-raced 6yo mare who resumes today. If forward enough she will take catching after a gritty 2nd at Sandown-Hillside over 1400m on March 23. Keep safe.
Third-up today. Comes off a 62 day let-up. Resuming 10th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic 2yo+ (Bm58) on June 21 over 1200m, 12 len behind Southern Front with 54kg at $201.

Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Won a recent Avondale trial. Good draw will assist chances. Should go close at first outing.

VIKING REBEL (4) is hard fit now and gets every opportunity today from the inside gate. Beaten for early speed before hitting the line late when fourth over 1106m at Sale last time. Looking for this trip now and will take plenty of holding out. FLYING BARTY (5) is a four-year-old mare who is having her first run for the Julien Welsh yard. Started a solid $1.80 fav when finished last of 10 at Murray Bridge 11 weeks ago. Showed enough in a recent trial and rates well in this line-up. Has placed first-up a this not an overly strong affair. SHOCKSTAR (10) is a gelding by Shocking out of Berzallia set to debut for the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young stable. Staying type who should be finishing off well. TYCOON COMMANDER (3) resumes today after running a better race at second start when 3rd at Pakenham on April 14. Further improved now and just needs luck from the draw.

TYLDEN (3) appreciated the firmer track when a strong on-pace maiden winner over 2424m at Geelong last time. At her peak now and will get a soft run again from the good gate. Can make it two on end here. CIRCLE THE SUN (2) has put together back-to-back placings and finished off powerfully when second over 2250m at Coleraine on August 14. Drops sharply in weight and can take a hand in the finish. ROYELLE (4) has raced in some tougher races and disappointed last time over 2400m at this track when failing to handle the heavy track. Races well here and will appreciate the firmer deck. Looks good value. SASSOON (5) is another holding his form well who should appreciate the firmer track. On best form can figure prominently.

FOR ARI (1) looked sharp when scoring his maiden victory over 2000m at Wangaratta on August 8. Hill sticks and can continue on his winning ways now. MOSCOW MULE (4) has been getting back in races and finishing off okay. Latest fourth at Pakenham Synthetic over 1600m suggested he is looking for this distance now. One of the leading contenders. ROYAL VOLLEY (3) has a poor win record and gave a glimpse he was getting back to his best when fourth over 2000m at Wangaratta on August 20. Can race closer from the better draw. Each-way. ROMANIA (2) has been freshened up since he finished ninth over 2200m at Sale five weeks ago. Hard to get excited about but could fill a hole on best form.

ALLURING GRACE (7) has been racing well without winning. Will relish a firmer deck today after finishing hard when 2nd over 1114m at this track on a heavy 9 last start. Will get all the favours from the draw and prove hard to catch. HEAVENLY SPIRIT (16) returns today a 4yo after turning in some average runs at his first campaign. Should have strengthened up over the break and can stake a claim in this. I'M FREE (15) turned his form around when improved sharply to finish third over 1000m at Corowa when resuming as the favourite. Fitter now, and stays in the mix. FOREVER LOUD (4) had a fitness edge over rivals when a fighting win over 1100m at Wangaratta three weeks ago. Wide gate no help but can take a hand in the finish.

Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

ALMIGHTY RISING (6) was well supported when down in grade for a handy 2nd over 1300m at Wangaratta on August 8. Claim helps again and can go one better today. MISCHIEVOUS LAD (1) is hard fit now and stats this track and distance are okay. Motored late when fifth over 1200m here last time. Drier track helps and looks a top contender. RYAN'S GIRL (10) has a poor win record but recent efforts have been sound. A repeat of last start second at this track over 1200m puts her in the picture. LANI BANG BANG (9) has found some form at her last two outings. Gives the indication this trip will suit.
Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start slowly away; got back early 6th of 9 at Warrnambool 2yo+ (Bm58) on July 18 over 1200m, on a wet track; 5 len behind It's Classified carrying 61.5kg at $7.

BARRINGTON MANOR (6) returned from a break last start and led into the straight but faded late to finish second over 1600m here. Has no second-up form but has obviously come back well. Much fitter now. INTERNATIONAL GEM (4) has a poor win record but at his peak now fourth-up. Was doing his best work late when 4th over 1400m at Wangaratta on August 20. The extra distance today should suit. RODRICK'S SECRET (3) resumes for new stable after a plugging fifth over 1600m at Canberra on July 22. Should find this easier and has each-way claims. REBEL TYPHOON (9) has struggled to find form of late but has a win and placings at this trip. Gets blinkers on first time today. Could fill a hole.
