VADARCHIE (5) has been very well supported in early markets and has found the right race to debut a winner. The Vadamos stock are showing good promise, given time and this trip looks ideal at his first time to the races with Damien Oliver taking the ride. He's easy to like. STRIKEOUT (3) looks capable of winning a race having finished a close up second two starts ago with a good gap to third. MARCO SPADA (2) and COP THAT (1) have had a few chances but are best of the rest.
Two-year-old colt first-starter by Nicconi out of Florida Keys. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut.

Godolphin filly VA VIA (9) has placed in both runs to date in town behind the well performed Stupendo and Latizia. She was in the market on both occasions and can take up a forward position in running. She has the form to take this out. Stablemate LASCARS (6) was Listed placed on debut before an even effort prior to a break behind the talented Brereton. Look for him to go close with natural improvement. TAKE ON JEN (8) on debut has been been well supported in early markets and a forward showing wouldn't surprise. DUBAI OAK (2) failed to fire on debut at Listed level in town but will take good improvement from the experience. Don't take lightly. GIGA KICK (5) creates interest on debut with Jamie Kah taking the ride and has been well supported in early markets. Keep safe.
Third-up today. Resumes off a 46 day letup. Resuming slowly away and keen; with blinkers first time; 6th of 9 at Moe 3yo+ F&M Mdn on December 17 over 1100m, 6 len behind Little Pickle with 56.5kg at $12.

At the latest run couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at Geelong 3yo F Mdn on January 23 over 1100m, 6 len behind Miss Melbourne with 57kg at $101. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 14 at Geelong 3yo F Mdn on December 26 over 1200m, 7 len behind Antipodes carrying 57kg at $101. Yet to place and needs plenty of improvement to figure here.

DIVINA CALLE (2) resumes having finished close up on debut in Adelaide behind the talented Champagne Dreams before placing behind Biscayne Bay who went on to be Group 1 placed in the VRC Oaks in the Spring. She looks hard to beat first up with natural improvement. MOREAN (6) creates plenty of interest on debut for the Freedman stable with Jamie Kah to take the ride. It would be no surprise to see her go close. KOROBEINIKI (5) is close to a win and has placed at two of her three attempts at the track. She warrants plenty of respect second up from a forward position in the run. DE LONG STAR (1) finished a close up third last start behind a handy type and isn't without a chance. JEN'S REWARD (4) needs plenty of improvement to figure in the first three but can add value to first fours.
Third-up today. Comes off a 58 day let-up. First-up second last of 10 at Traralgon 4yo+ Mdn on November 28 over 1100m, 9 len behind Princess Annalise carrying 57.5kg at $10.

This looks too tough on exposed form to date.

MISS KEELER (3) resumes with the Blinkers off and showed enough during her first campaign to suggest that this is a suitable first up target from a forward position in the run. She's worth plenty of thought. THE PUP (9) has finished close up at her past two starts including in a fourth in town and has a fitness edge. She'll be in it for a long way. ARIA ELECTRA (4) has been solid enough in two runs to date and appears the next in line.
Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Hcp (58) January 22 over 1514m defeating Decker carrying 60kg at $3.50.

Returned to winning ways last start and will make his own luck on speed. Could take catching again.

Second-up. First-up after four months slowly away; second last of 11 at Mornington 3yo+ Hcp (58) on January 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Twiggy Pop carrying 54kg at $101.

Racing well. Most recently slowly away; made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Stony Creek 3yo+ (Bm58) on February 1 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind So He Rules carrying 54kg at $4.50. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Balnarring Pic-Trophy on January 26 over 1600m, nose behind See It All with 68kg at $5.50. Good effort last start but is yet to win at the track in thirteen attempts. Prefer a place.

A PINCH OF LUCK (3) can be forgiven for last start when he failed to fire on the Heavy. A better reference is his narrow second two starts ago when favourite and he can go close again here approaching peak fitness fourth up. VLADIVOSTOK (1) returned to winning form last start after an encouraging third the start prior. He'll make his own luck on speed and will take catching again. ZOUY'S COMET (2) has won three of his five first up attempts including twice in this distance range. Keep safe. BAROSSA KISS (6) has been thereabouts at her past three starts and is worth a place ticket. TYCOON FELIX (8) is probably best suited at the Picnics these days but his last start third in this grade looks good enough for him to be competitive here. Include in the exotics.
Useful gelding. Last start began awkwardly; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 31 over 1106m, in the wet; 1.3 len behind I'm Cheeky carrying 62kg at $6. The run before that began awkwardly and eased down; ran last of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 19 over 1200m, 19 len behind Megamea with 58.5kg at $41. Stuck to his task well at this track last start and warrants respect here back of firmer footing.

First-up after five months hampered near 1000m; raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Morphettville 4yo+ (Bm64) on January 29 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Kingson carrying 56.5kg at $21. Previously second-up second last of 14 (began awkwardly; became unbalanced; lacerations) at Mornington Mdn Plate on June 14 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Reddisun carrying 57.5kg at $12. Encouraging effort resuming last start but prefer a place here.

Second run back. First-up after four months rolled along in front then was edged out late in a small field at this track 3yo+ F&M (Bm64) on January 31 over 1206m, on a wet track; nose behind Jenni Esprit carrying 57kg at $1.70. Previously second-up raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at Moonee Valley in the LR Atlantic Jewel on September 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Zouzarella with 56kg at $26. Only faded late last start in an encouraging return. Looks hard to beat.

Comes here off a 47-day let-up. At the latest run failed to make an impression; ran last of 7 at Balnarring Rst Trophy on December 28 over 1200m, 6 len behind Aristobeaux with 69kg at $8. Before that 4th of 8 at Woolamai Pic-Trophy (2) on November 27 over 1008m, slow going 5.5 len behind Gem Edition with 66.5kg at $4.50. Prefer at the Picnics.

COMMANDS THE FIELD (8) only faded late on the Heavy when going down narrowly at this track last start when resuming. She'll take good benefit from that outing and has a touch of class having been not disgraced at Listed level in the Spring Behind Zouzarella. She can go close again here with added fitness. ELTEECEE (4) will make his own luck on speed and another win isn't far away having placed at his past two starts. He'll be in it for a long way. EXPECTANT (1) can be forgiven for last start at this track on the Heavy when the pattern of the day was against him. Back to this trip will suit and sharp improvement can be expected. ROLLING MOSS (3) stuck to his task well at this track last start but couldn't reel in the leader. He's one for the multiples. GOVERNOR LANDY (5) may be looking for this trip now and although he's likely to give them a start, he's capable of surprising.
At the latest run raced three wide and weakened near 200m; second last of 11 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Australia Stks on January 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Marabi carrying 58.5kg at $101. The start before that 4th of 14 at Moonee Valley 3yo+ (Bm84) on January 22 over 1200m, 4 len behind In The Boat carrying 60.5kg at $61. Talented on his day but struggling for his best form. Happy to watch.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Morphettville (Bm72) January 29 over 1200m defeating Vieira with 59.5kg at $8.50. The start before that eased near 150m; 12th of 16 at Flemington 4yo+ (Bm70) on January 15 over 1400m, 5 len behind Nicolini Vito with 58.5kg at $41. This trip suits and can race close to the speed. Worth thought.

Before that 5th of 10 at Flemington 3yo+ (Rs0mw) on January 21 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Grand Pope carrying 60kg at $4.50. Racing well and can't be underestimated.

Useful gelding. Last start favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.75 len at Flemington 3yo+ (Rs0mw) January 21 over 1200m defeating As I Please carrying 57kg at $4. The start before that taken back from wide barrier; settled back and ran on when 7th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 3 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind So Risque with 60kg at $15. Blinkers did the trick last start when returning to winning form. Likely to get back but should be finishing hard late.

Resumes after two years. Finished off last campaign tailed off and ordered to trial; second last of 14 at Sha Tin Hcp (C3) February 23 2020 over 1600m, 20 len behind Mr Aldan with 54.5kg at $301. Previously first up; crowded early stages; second last of 12 at Happy Valley Hcp (C3) December 11 2019 over 1650m, 6 len behind Rickfield carrying 58.5kg at $151. Likely to find this too short making his local debut and prefer to see.

KENTUCKY CASANOVA (3) is lightly raced and progressive having not missed a place in five starts to date including three wins. He stuck to his task well last start in town when winning narrowly. He's open to further improvement and this looks the natural progression. LEGIONNAIRE (2) returned to winning form last time out when back to this trip after failing to fire at his prior two starts over further. He's talented on his day and can run well again from a forward position in transit. JOLTIN' JOE (5) is racing well and although he's likely to give them a start he should be finishing off strongly again. He appeals each way. GRAND POPE (7) was a winner down the Flemington straight last start with the Blinkers going back on. He warrants respect again now that he's found winning for. ALBURQ (6) finds it hard to win but has placed at half of his twenty eight starts to date and is a must for multiples.
Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 8 (keen; shifted out concluding stages; protested against, dismissed) at Morphettville (Bm68) on January 29 over 1800m, nose behind Montign with 58kg at $7. The race before that held up on straightening; eased back early on 4th of 8 at Murray Bridge (Bm82) on January 15 over 2000m, 2 len behind Resurge carrying 55kg at $4.30. Just missed last start and looks suited here to go one better with the Blinkers coming off.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up slowly away; ran last in a small field at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 5 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind The Stager with 60kg at $41. Second run from a spell tactics queried; 7th of 12 at Pakenham 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 20 over 1600m, 5 len behind Basarwa carrying 60.5kg at $101. Best form at the track is a while ago now. Happy to risk.

Will find this easier than recent assignments and creates plenty of interest.

The start before that raced wide without cover; 5th of 8 at Moe 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 18 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Poleaxed carrying 61kg at $17. Capable of his day but likely to find this too tough.

Going well. Last start won by 0.5 len at Mornington 3yo+ F&M Mdn January 29 over 1500m in soft going defeating Margaret's Banter with 56.5kg at $4.80. The race before that 4th of 11 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn on January 20 over 1400m, 9 len behind Arktika with 56kg at $26. Progressing nicely and broke through last start. Prefer a place in this grade at this stage.

Thereabouts last start at this track. Capable of improvement. Don't take lightly.

IRISH PLAYBOY (1) can break a run of outs after just missing in Saturday grade last start in Adelaide. He settled closer in the run on that occasion and maps to get a similar path in transit here from gate two. This grade suits and he'll take beating. SO HE RULES (4) recorded a sound win last start in easier when well supported. He warrants respect now he's found winning form. LA PLUIE (7) is lightly raced and progressing nicely. He broke through in good style last start and is open to further improvement. Keep safe. MAHIA (8) was thereabouts at this track last start when kept safe in the market and is one for the multiples.
