SILENT SOVEREIGN (1) gets up to this trip quickly but she does so with the best form in the race. She was never a winning threat on her return but that was after settling well back in a 1400m race that hardly panned out for her. She closed well and her Queen Of The South win last prep makes for good reading. HUNBOSHI (2) was game in the Pinker Pinker. No tougher here and she looks to land in the first couple for the gun jock who arrives off three more winners on Geelong Cup Day. TOKORANGI (6) is like Silent Sovereign in that she hasn't threatened this prep but should improve now up in trip. OCEAN MISS (4) could lead unopposed and that makes her a chance.
Last start 5th of 15 at Bendigo in the LR Seym Cup on October 2 over 1600m, slow going 1.2 len behind Noname Lane carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track Hcp on September 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Military Expert carrying 57.5kg at $10. Still going along okay and always hard to beat in these races.

SO SI BON (1) has been beaten in this race the last two years but he generally runs well in similar and he is still ticking over nicely into his ninth year. Grand old campaigner who has the ratings to win it and the platform having chased a hot pace around here two back and been close up in the Seymour Cup. REGARDSMAREE (3) is a third up winner in the past and can be much better this time than the two runs so far this spring which haven't really worked out. Nice option for GRANDSLAM (4) first up. Has typically taken a run to find his feet but not dismissing him here and have to respect ELUDING (7) who ran a big race last time in the blinkers and rates in the mix off that.
Last start second last of 9 at Cranbourne Bm64 on October 7 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Lempicka carrying 66.5kg at $10. The start before that won by a nose at this track Bm84 August 20 over 1200m in the wet defeating Zakat with 52kg at $21. Worth another chance.

Previously second-up began awkwardly; 8th of 16 at Sandown-Hillside (Bm78) on September 25 2021 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Sirileo Miss with 59kg at $21. Don't underestimate.

VULTAN (7) made good improvement from run to run, chasing a good winner home at Ballarat and setting himself up to peak third up. Drawn to land close to the speed from the low draw and should take a power of catching. DEMANDO (6) also arrives here third up and looking ready to put up a big run. Return was good and latest was better behind a handy one for the class. SAM'S IMAGE (1) might pick and choose when to fire these days but he is a threat when he does. The win around here two back reads well. STYLISH ENUFF (4) and DIESEL 'N' DUST (5) are others to consider.

Can go on with that sharp looking return.

The start before that won by 1.3 len at Morphettville Parks 3Up Mdn-Sw September 24 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Anjopin with 54.5kg at $14. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

YOWIE (10) just breezed around in a recent trial but suspect she is ready to run a big race first up. She won like a good horse on debut and that was enough to see her sent around inside 2-1 in listed company before a break. She raced wide and failed to finish it right off there but still wasn't beaten far and this looks well within her range. FIELD OF FLUTES (5) was a nice winner first up. Clearly facing a tougher test now but she won like she was right up to better races. We know that MISS ROSEIANO (2) is up to better. Hasn't fired this spring but freshened for this and no shock to see her bounce back quickly in this sort of company. ZOURATA (8) is another nice maiden winner that looks like measuring up at this level.
Second-up. First-up after three months raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 12 at this track Bm84 on September 23 over 955m, slow going 3.5 len behind Wolflands with 56.5kg at $26. Previously second-up laid in in the straight; second last in a small field at this track Bm70 on February 25 over 955m, 4.5 len behind Midwest carrying 60.5kg at $8.50. Unlikely to threaten.

Fast sprinter who is an excellent winning chance.

The start before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at Morphettville Bm68 September 3 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Hope At Hand carrying 60.5kg at $1.80. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.

NASTURTIUM (4) switches south to have a shot at the speedster's course. Looks made for the 955m here. Big run first up, gunned down by a useful one for the class, and then showed bundles of pace again last time before peaking on the effort late over 1100m. This can set up better. DIRECT (2) was back as well as ever winning at Mornington. Three runs at the Valley have netted three placings and it would be a surprise to see him far away this time. TAUNTING (3) comes across from Adelaide looking well placed off his effort last time. That rates well. OJOSAN (9) comes off a short spell. Probably should have won fresh last time around and is another with a good Adelaide effort next to his name from last time.
