HIGHLAND BLAZE (9) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory with two consecutive placings including a handy second over this track and trip last time out. Strikes a very winnable contest here and rates the testing material. BAY OF NAPLES (6) has gotten better with each run this time in work and will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell. Draws the inside alley and looms as the main danger. THE RONIN DREAMS (3) has placed over this course and distance and looks a genuine top-three commodity. WILLETTS (4) gets the services of Moor from the low draw and is one for the multiples. ALWAYS DEFINITE (5) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances.

A bit to learn here with a few facing the starter for the first time. DAKARAI (2) wasn't too far away when a handy third at Geelong on debut and will have derived a lot of benefit from that race day experience. Gets the services of Shinn in the saddle and can improve enough to play a prominent role in the finish. AMERICAN LIAISON (1) has been thereabouts in all three starts to date including placing over this journey last time out. Sure to give a great sight. MURAMASA (5) is very well-bred and any market moves must be noted. The well-related TORONTO TERRIER (8) strips fitter second-up and is best of the rest.

MR TRAFFICANTI (6) resumes here but showed plenty of ability placing in both starts before the spell and is expected to run a big race while fresh. Must be respected from the Hayes barn. The well-related STAUNCH (9) was a solid second at Pakenham on debut before being tipped out for time to mature. Looks a serious top-three player. HOLLERWEEN (5) returned in good order with a second at Geelong and can play a role in the outcome. SCONAERO (15) has been thereabouts in all four starts to date and may earn some minor money. The well-bred SLATE (8) is facing the starter for the first time and any market moves must be heeded.

SOCIABEEL (12) hit the line strongly last time out and the step-up in journey looks to suit. Strips fitter third-up from the spell and should be right there when the whips are cracking. The well-related VALKYON (10) improved sharply to finish third here first-up and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Expected to go well. CISALPINE (2) has been thereabouts in all five career outings to date and must be included from the Waller barn. In the mix. CHELMSFORD (1) resumes here but showed enough in his first preparation to warrant serious consideration in a race like this. Definite top-three candidate. STAR SMASH (8) has hit the top five in seven of his past eight starts and is one for the multiples.

Third-up and placed third-up in the past. First-up raced three wide; raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Moe 2yo+ Hcp (58) on July 16 over 1114m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Lord Almighty carrying 55kg at $61.

PROWLING (3) tackled Listed company before the spell and wasn't too far off them three lengths away in seventh. Will find this assignment much easier and has placed two from two when first-up before. Looks the one they all have to run down. KARAKA LAD (2) put two wins together on the Sunshine Coast to start the career before being shipped over to Hong Kong where he didn't measure up. Keep very safe in his first run back. FEUDAL EMPIRE (6) has placed over this track and trip and rarely puts in a poor performance. Respect from the Maher/Eustace yard. EXCEED EXPECT (1) gets the services of Newitt in the irons and shapes as one of the main contenders. The well-related ORLANDO GROVE (9) best of the rest.
Third-up. First-up held up near 400m; 5th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo (Bm70) on July 20 over 1000m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Fire carrying 56.5kg at $12.

Genuine contender under these conditions.

Worth some thought after getting close last time.

The could turn out to be a handy form race. The penny dropped for VIVIANE (7) when last in work stringing two wins together on the bounce before being tipped out for a spell. Has placed two from three when fresh and gets the services of Lane in the saddle who has saluted on board before. Looks very hard to toss. PRINCESS ANNALISE (6) hasn't done much wrong with two wins and a third from three outings to commence the career. Mott has been on board for all three starts and sticks. Looks the main danger. The consistent ALONG THE RIVER (1) has only missed the top five once in nine starts and is a definite top-three conveyance. NO CRYING (8) has won two from three over this sprint journey and must be respected. FAR ENOUGH (3) best of the rest on the back of a last-start win when first-up for a long time. Will be further improved for that hit-out.

SAVILEO (3) is one from one when racing second-up and gets the deadly Nolen/Moody combination. The step-up in journey looks to suit and is sure to prove very hard to beat. ROSE DIOR (13) saves her best form for this circuit where she has two wins and a second from just four outings. Rates a leading contender. TORONALI (8) is yet to put in a poor run from four career starts and looks a genuine top-three candidate again. Local RIPPLEBROOK (2) has a very strong record over this track and trip only missing a drum once in six attempts. Has to be included. SHEZADANDI (4) will find this much easier than recent metropolitan efforts and can bounce back to form against this lot.
Second run back. First-up after 10 months ran last of 9 at this track 3yo+ (Bm64) on August 21 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Continuance with 63kg at $101.

THE DUKE OF DUBAI (5) has returned in fine fettle with a handy second first-up on the Ballarat Synthetic before getting the job done by the narrowest of margins at Sandown last time out. Is one from one around this circuit and is sure to go close if runs up to the mark. UK import RED PHANTOM (4) wasn't disgraced in his first run on our shores and will have derived a lot of benefit from that hit-out. Can improve enough to feature in this. LEGIONNAIRE (2) has gotten better with each run this time in and will be near his peak now. In the mix. PERUSAL (9) shed the maiden tag over this track and trip at the latest effort and will take a lot confidence from that victory. Top-three hope. FLORIDA DREAM (3) best of the rest with the 3kg claim.
