NICSTAR (8) has been placed in all three outings to date and first-up effort at Kilmore was sound. Will have derived benefit from that outing. Has to be respected. MARQUISARD (1) didn't come on as expected when finishing at the tail first-up at Cranbourne. Fitter this time and has the blinkers on. Look for improvement. SHEER CLASS (3) has been a steady improver throughout the campaign and is deserving of a win. Gets that chance here. AND SHE WAS (4) battled home soundly when up on the speed last time and is worth including in the hopes.
Comes here off a 51-day let-up. At the latest run taken back from wide barrier and tactics queried; second last of 8 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on March 22 over 2412m, 9 len behind Tavabeel carrying 59.5kg at $17. The run before that second last of 10 at Ballarat 3yo+ Mdn on February 27 over 2600m, 10 len behind Morpurgo with 59.5kg at $7.50. Fully tested on his recent run.

CHROMOSPHERE (2) resumes off a long break. Wasn't disgraced at only start in handy line up at Sandown. Nicely suited here fresh on home track. Should make a bold bid. YAGOONA (6) has his foot on the till after a couple of placings since being sent to Melbourne. Looks nicely placed and can run well. MADREAN (11) was well supported on debut and did an excellent job. Will be better for the experience and is expected to give this a shake. GAMEGIRL (10) showed improvement at second outing when filling a place here last time out. Her winning turn is not far away. Has to be respected.
Second-up. First start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Ballarat Mdn on July 11 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.1 len behind Septagram with 57kg at $4.30.

Three-year-old gelding first-starter by Magnus out of Marotta. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer others.

Three-year-old gelding (Akeed Mofeed - Slippery Ninja) will no doubt benefit from the two trials prior to his debut today. Last trial second in a 850m barrier trial on October 14 at Tatura. Hard to have in this line up.

CITIZEN (3) was placed twice in maiden company to start career before heading to town and battling home OK last time. Resumes here and looks nicely off. Won't be far away. WORD ON THE STREET (12) disappointed last time after a promising debut. Well worth another chance in this company. BAHAMA (10) led them up and fought on well here last time. Will be improved by first run this way of going. Respect. CELSIUS STAR (2) had good support on debut and did an excellent job. Is sure to be improved with that run under the belt and won't be too far from the mark.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Mornington F&M Mdn on April 28 over 1200m, 3 len behind Andalusia carrying 58kg at $15. The start before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Mornington 4yo+ Mdn on April 17 over 1200m, head behind Kannenbergs Road carrying 57.5kg at $7. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

ALISON ROAD (1) came in for good support and hit the line well on debut. Shapes as though the rise in trip will be ideal on home track. Should make a bold bid. LARRY OF ARABIA (7) made a promising debut at Bendigo on heavy ground. Is expected to be improved by the outing and the rise in trip should suit. Won't be far away. GEE BEE ESS (10) has been kept fresh since good first-up effort at Sale. Has shown plenty of promise and looks a winning chance. KING OF SWING (6) was specked at big odds and was far from disgraced on debut. Looks better off this time and must be respected.
Second run back. First-up after six months slowly away; sat behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 24 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Turbo Ken carrying 62kg at $21.

Fitter and worth including.

Fitter and looks a key runner.

SHARWIN (8) is returning off a short break. Is lightly-raced but is putting together a handy record. Looks nicely placed against this lot and won't be far away. OUR HEIDI (3) won her maiden here in November and was then spelled. Was competitive in much tougher company when resuming. Is nicely placed here and should go close. CHEERFUL LEGEND (2) was comfortably held last time but winner did street them. Is much better placed here on home track. Should give a bold sight. ELECTRIC (5) is a promising type who is resuming and having first start this way of going. Will pay to follow any betting moves. Consider.
Useful type. Most recently faded in the straight 9th of 13 at Caulfield Sires Guineas on April 23 over 1600m, 6 len behind Chartres with 58kg at $21. The race before that won by 1.0 len at Geelong 3yo Mdn April 13 over 1400m defeating Dun Warrior carrying 58kg at $7. Everything points towards a big run.

ZOUTELLUS (5) is coming off a short break. Form before a freshen had been excellent and should have plenty of residual fitness for this assignment. Expected to be around the mark. ENUFF HE SAID (1) looked good landing the prize at Geelong then was comfortably beaten in tougher company last time. Is much better placed here and is expected to run well. MAMOOL (3) didn't get into the contest at Flemington last time. Previous win here was strong and is well worth another chance. KING HALSTON (6) is over from New Zealand. Scored in maiden company last time and is expected to measure up to this grade.

Last start 4th of 8 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 27 over 1415m, slow going 2.5 len behind Crystal Chief carrying 57.5kg at $13. The run before that 11th of 14 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm70) on April 15 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Smart Mozzie carrying 55.5kg at $41. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Useful gelding. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 (began awkwardly; keen; weakened near 200m) at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm70) on April 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Our Lone Star carrying 58kg at $4.50. Before that won by a neck at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) March 23 over 1300m in soft going defeating Marimenko carrying 59kg at $4.50. Can bounce back.

BLACK BOLT (13) scored a solid win two starts back then was far from disgraced when up in grade last time. Looks nicely off here despite the weight and can feature prominently. MARCOLT (2) disappointed last time when stepped up to the 2000m. Coming back from a spell but does have a recent trial under the belt. Is worth keeping in mind. ORIENTAL LEGEND (3) won two on end here before past couple of efforts in town, which were sound. Can bounce back. SHEER TREASURE (11) is coming back from a break. Has placed previously when fresh and is worth keeping in mind here.
Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation hung in in straight; third of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm64) January 19 over 2100m, 0.6 len behind Kiptanui with 59.5kg at $1.90.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up.

Before that won by 2.5 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) March 16 over 1800m defeating Laybuy with 58kg at $4.50. Should go well in this line up.

Most recently failed to respond to riding; struggled in the run home; 7th of 10 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 27 over 1732m, slow going 7 len behind Ripplebrook carrying 58kg at $5.50. The race before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 13 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 15 over 1600m, 16 len behind Yaphet carrying 59kg at $61. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

CAPTAIN CORELLI (2) looked good in landing the prize here last time which followed a solid second placing at previous outing. Extra weight shouldn't pose a problem. Expected to run well. GATE CRASH (1) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Form last campaign was strong and does have a recent Traralgon barrier trial under the belt. Should make a bold bid. YELLOWBRICK ROAD (7) is a three-year-old import having his first run for the A & S Freedman yard. Scored on the all-weather at Kempton at his only run. Is one to keep an eye on. ALVERDUN (9) resumed with a solid display at Sale and with added fitness is worth keeping in mind here.
