Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 11 at Bendigo 3Yf Mdn-Sw on November 9 over 1300m, 3 len behind Girl carrying 57kg at $4.50. The start before that 3rd of 9 at Ballarat F&M Mdn-Sw on October 20 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Sheza Marvel with 55.5kg at $26. Likely to be attacking the line strongly.

TRIUMPHANTLY (3) has won a trial at Benalla impressively for his return. Form last preparation was consistent and although the 1200m may be on the short side he should run well at odds. ITALIAN VIKING (1) looks the pick of the raced brigade, having run two strong races in Adelaide in his debut campaign. That was over a year ago so he may be a bit rusty but rates well. MUGEN (2) is a gelding by Deep Field on debut who has jumped out very nicely. No surprise to see the market like him early. SHANGHAI VENTURE (10) ran well at Ballarat two back before an even effort at Bendigo latest. In the mix.
Second run back. First-up after six months settled back and ran on when 7th of 12 at Cranbourne Bm70 on November 12 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Pal D'oro carrying 59kg at $19. Previously second-up raced below expectations; 6th of 11 at Mornington 3Y-Swp on March 26 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Beautyverse carrying 58kg at $9. Worth another chance.

Second-up won by 0.8 len at Pakenham Mdn-Sw November 4 over 1600m in heavy going defeating Minister Garrett with 59.5kg at $7. Big chance.

Expected to be doing his best work late.

The race before that got back early 5th of 8 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Tasman Park carrying 59.5kg at $14. This is going to test him.

First-up. Finished off last campaign ninth of 12 at Stawell Bm64 April 17 over 2700m, 9 len behind Reforestation carrying 52.5kg at $201. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Kilmore 3Yo+ (Bm58) January 25 over 1207m, 8 len behind Euphegenia carrying 58kg at $101. This looks too tough.

OCEANA BLUE (5) clearly on top. She ran a much improved race second up at Bendigo despite being beaten as favourite, going down by 0.4 lengths. She looks set to peak third up with J Kah taking the ride and with even luck from the inside gate should be going close. BLUSHING TYCOON (1) was just fair first up when finishing midfield at Cranbourne but this looks easier and he'll strip fitter. EMERALD JACK (2) was only a narrow maiden winner at Pakenham last start but the win rated quite well and he's on the up. Should measure up. EL KABONG (6) similarly won his maiden at Pakenham narrowly last start and should appreciate the rise to 1600m here.
Most recently 4th of 8 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on October 28 over 1600m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind La Spezia carrying 59kg at $19. The race before that got back early 7th of 12 at Bendigo Bm64 on October 2 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Master Bartholdi carrying 60.5kg at $19. Wide draw too testing.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 3rd of 7 at Sale F&M Bm70 on October 5 over 1208m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Invincible Caviar carrying 60.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Pakenham Bm70 on November 10 over 1200m, 2 len behind Show Some Decorum with 58.5kg at $6.50. Rates highly. Big chance.

Genuine hope on best form.

SO YOU SEE (3) has the class and should be going close here. She was last seen at G1 level in the Australasian Oaks, beaten 4.2 lengths. Her only career win came over this trip on debut and she looks right up to winning this. LIBERATED GIRL (10) is another fresh mare having last run at Flemington in the Winter. She's only had three starts and gets the services of Jamie Kah. LIFE LESSONS (11) is a stablemate of Liberated Girl who was too good first up at Moe breaking her maiden. Has a fitness edge which should take her a long way. MERLIN'S CHARM (2) has run well in both runs back this time in and looks primed third up getting to 1400m.
Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 11 at Sale Bm70 on October 5 over 1419m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Carlisle carrying 59.5kg at $4.50. Second-up 5th of 14 at Geelong Ballan Cup on November 5 over 1512m, 2.25 len behind Savannah Cloud carrying 56kg at $8. Ready to find peak form.

ST LAWRENCE (4) has only had two career starts and one in Australia but won comfortably as a $1.50 favourite at Geelong and looks set to go on with it here. Draws ideally in barrier four and should measure right up. BARRETTA (1) has been solid in two runs back this time in, working home well without threat at Geelong latest. Drops sharply in grade for this and should be ready to peak third up. HARBOURMASTER (6) had two starts last campaign for two wins over this distance range. Maps for a great run behind the pace and should go well fresh. ANCIENT EGYPT (10) was sent for a let up after struggling in a similar race at Sandown-Hillside but has shown glimpses of talent and has plenty of upside.

MIDTOWN BOSS (2) resumed with a dominant maiden win at Geelong over 1212m, running on strongly to score by 2 lengths as favourite. He took on a strong maiden on debut last time in and looks set to go on with it here from the soft draw. PROUD CONQUEST (3) won very well on debut at Donald last preparation before struggling as favourite in a strong race at Caulfield. He looks a big chance at double figure odds. SHEZA MARVEL (10) was only a narrow winner on debut at Ballarat but the win rated well and she'll improve off that. Solid each-way hope. CORNER OFF (12) resumed with a dominant maiden win at Pakenham Synthetic, scoring by 3 lengths. Will push forward and prove tough to catch.

Open race. VERMENTINO (9) looks the one to beat first up. He was an easy winner on debut nearly a year ago at Hamilton as a $1.45 favourite. Been off the scene for a long time which is the query but trust the stable to have him right. PLACE OF GOLD (7) was well beaten in a tougher race at Flemington latest over 1600m. Her run prior at Sale in a strong race over 1400m was very good for third and she can run well back in trip here. ROLLING MOSS (1) is always a chance in this grade and proved a tough winner on heavy ground at Mornington latest. Puts himself on speed and will prove tough to get past. STARLEA (14) has run well in two runs back from a spell and looks primed third up from an ideal draw.

WISAKA (1) is racing in fine form having won three of his last six and the best of them was easily last start when a 2.75 length winner at Moonee Valley over 2040m. The rise in weight is offset by the 3kg claim and he should get into a good spot midfield. CLINCHED (19) is a model of consistency but can't find the frame first having placed in his last five starts. Can run well again despite the wide draw. CLAIDHEAMH MOR (2) struggled as favourite at Moonee Valley latest in a disappointing show. The win prior on heavy ground was dominant and any rain around is a huge bonus. TOBAYSURE (6) was tracking along well until last start, also well beaten at Moonee Valley when well in the market. Can improve sharply.

When resuming last campaign raced wide without cover; third of 10 at Moonee Valley (Bm70) January 29 over 1600m, soft track; 3 len behind Gentleman Roy with 57.5kg at $26. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
Most recently settled back and ran on when 6th of 12 at Morphettville Parks Bm68 on November 5 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind My Khalifa carrying 60.5kg at $8.50. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Sale Bm70 on October 5 over 1419m, slow going 0.5 len behind Carlisle with 59.5kg at $17. Doesn’t need to improve that much.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 14 at Bendigo Bm70 on November 9 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Standoff carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Bendigo Bm70 on October 26 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Court Deep with 58.5kg at $4.50. Could sneak into the finish.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 9 at Cranbourne 0 - 64 on October 21 over 1200m, 18 len behind Turbo Ken carrying 59.5kg at $4. Second-up won by 0.8 len at Pakenham Cl1 November 4 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating Starlea carrying 59kg at $7.50. Last-start winner who can measure up again.

NETANYAHU (9) looks a good chance at odds. He was a determined winner first up at Pakenham with 60.5kg and will strip fitter second up. The rise in trip suits ideally and he maps for the perfect run behind the pace. DUBLIN JOURNAL (8) will be better over further having last been seen in Ireland at Leopardstown over 2012m but has plenty of class and that will take him a long way here. LINAS LEGEND (3) has been crying out for more ground and gets that here. He wasn't beaten far over 1100m at Flemington last start and should be primed third up. GALACTIC FURY (11) finished midfield but was only beaten 2.25 lengths at Morphettville Parks last time out and this looks a suitable race.
