IN THE WOODSHED (4) on top in the opener on Stawell Cup day. Forgive last start when pulling up with an irregular heart beat and go off the first up run at Geelong when closing well for second and he can bounce back strongly. WHIZZ TIZZ (7) closed off nicely first up at Bendigo. She's been kept fresh for this but will appreciate getting out to 1600m now. CELTIC GLORY (8) was outclassed in the Bendigo Guineas last time but had been tracking nicely for a maiden win prior so she can break through here. ZAFARANA (9) was solid on debut and open to plenty of improvement.

BELLE ET RICHE (7) closed off very strong to grab second at Kyneton first up and will have come on from that. She'll get back again but the rise in trip suits and she should be hard to hold out. LASTAR (2) comes here first up off a gelding operation. He wasn't far away last preparation and looks a strong chance here. PRINCESS NEFERTITI (8) is an American Pharoah filly on debut who has jumped out well at Ararat. Good trainer and jockey combination should see her in the finish. STRAWBERRY MOON (10) boxed on well last time at Geelong and looks to get a nice run from a good barrier, staying at 1300m here.
Most recently keen; sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 9 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on March 31 over 1479m, 7 len behind Savonia carrying 59.5kg at $21.

COTTON EYE JOE (3) has been away from the races for nine months but has jumped out well at Terang leading in and did run a strong third when first up last preparation. Gets Linda Meech on and should be in the finish. HENRY THE LION (4) will be better over further after getting out to 2250m last time in but did run well over 1400m on debut and will be hitting the line strongly. UP ALL NIGHT (7) was good at Wangaratta before a spell and has been given three jump outs to prepare. AMERICAIN HEART (10) made some late ground on debut at Ararat and can run into the top four here.
Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 14 at Bendigo (Bm84) on April 2 over 1100m, 7 len behind Colsridge with 54kg at $26.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a head at Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm64) March 1 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Upper East Side with 60kg at $1.40. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) February 20 over 1000m defeating Perseids with 58kg at $3. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Second run back. First-up after five months laid out near 500m; sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Penola (Bm58) on March 18 over 1100m, nose behind Grand Host carrying 59kg at $3.50. Previously second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 12 at Casterton 3yo+ Mdn on September 5 over 1100m, on a slow track; nose behind Timson with 59.5kg at $10. One of the chances.

The run before that 9th of 12 at Warrnambool 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 14 over 1200m, slow going 5.5 len behind Hai Sun with 59.5kg at $101. Still likely to struggle after 1.5kg claim.

MCKEEVER (2) has been kept fresh for this since winning at $1.40 at Bendigo on a heavy track. He's been kept up to the mark with a jump out win at Terang and can make it a hat-trick of wins. DAMASCUS MOMENT (5) boxed on well at Morphettville when five weeks between runs last start and will be hard to run down here. OVERKILL (3) drops in grade from last start at Terang. On best form he'd be a big chance but has struggled in recent runs so take on trust. HEAVENLY BRIDGES (6) was just fair last time at Geelong but can improve, as can LOWANNA MAGIC (1) who would win this at his best.
Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 4th in a small field at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Coquille carrying 63kg at $10. Second run from a spell tactics queried; second last of 11 at Terang (Bm70) on April 10 over 1400m, 10 len behind Stripped Back carrying 60kg at $41. Fully tested on his recent run.

FESTIVUS (8) looks ready to win third up. Both runs this time in have been good, the latest when leading at Ballarat over 1400m and he looks ready for the rise in trip here. Should get every chance. CATSKILL MOUNTAIN (7) comes here first up. He ended last preparation with a strong win over 2000m and should be hitting the line well over this shorter trip. GLAMOURING (13) was a good maiden winner two back before an even effort at Sandown-Hillside last time. She can improve again out to the mile. SLESSOR (6) drops in trip after struggling over 1887m at Kyneton last time and might be better suited here.

MR MISCHIEF (6) was a dominant winner at Swan Hill over 2400m last time and can go on with it now. This becomes very winnable and he is fancied to take the chance. PLATINUM SPIRIT (7) was good first up off a short spell at Mornington and will appreciate the extra 300m and ASTRAL KNIGHT (11) is respected off a win. This is tougher but certainly back in good order this time around.

Siding with MILFORD (1) in the Cup. Both runs this time in have been good, the latest in the Bendigo Golden Mile when closing off very strongly for 3rd. Third up at 2000m looks a perfect set up for him to run a peak effort. ONE MORE TRY (4) is definitely up to these if fit enough first up. Only one jump out and a long time between wins is the query but she's classy on her day. DON'T DOUBT DORY (2) boxed on well in the Bairnsdale Cup last start. Bit more depth here but third up is when he usually runs his best races. EXCELLERATION (11) was okay first up at Geelong and looks dangerous down in the weights with blinkers on for the first time.

Most recently keen and crowded near 400m; came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 30 over 1400m, 3 len behind Governor Landy with 56.5kg at $3.80. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Echuca (Bm64) on March 13 over 1400m, nose behind Volatore with 59.5kg at $4.30. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
Useful gelding. Last start won by 1.75 len at Ararat 3yo+ Mdn April 2 over 1300m defeating Riverina Cyclone with 59.5kg at $15. Before that overraced early stages; 5th of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on March 22 over 1209m, 1.1 len behind Smiling Amos carrying 59.5kg at $10. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Before that second last in a small field at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 15 over 1200m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Coquille carrying 57.5kg at $13. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Resuming today after a seven months break.

Dual acceptor. Most recently ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Mt Gambier Open Hcp on April 1 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Spin The Reward with 54kg at $101. The run before that raced wide without cover and keen; raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at Warrnambool 3yo+ (Bm64) on March 14 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Sir Davy carrying 56kg at $26. Likely to feel the pinch in this company.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 (keen; raced wide without cover; tactics queried) at Ararat 3yo+ Hcp (58) on April 2 over 1200m, 14 len behind Mt Buller carrying 56kg at $5.

Well held last time and facing tough task today.

SQUAMI (3) on top in the last. He ran well in town at Sandown-Hillside last start, finishing 4th. He's a consistent type and with even luck from a wide gate he should be hard to beat here. CHILL WITH TEEJAY (2) was too good when odds-on at Mt Gambier last start. Goes forward and takes catching. SIR DOMIGO (4) was a strong, all the way maiden winner at Ararat last time and looks capable of making the step up in grade today. BATTLECRUISER (1) was a determined winner from off the pace in this grade last start at Avoca and can go on with it now.
