Form hard to fault. At the latest run came from midfield, 2nd of 10 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on February 4 over 1850m, in the wet, long-neck behind Man Of Heart with 59kg at $12. The race before that 4th of 10 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 2460m, 13 len behind Scrambler with 58kg at $3.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Most recently with blinkers first time, 6th of 11 at Wodonga Mdn on February 6 over 2050m, 6 len behind More Saturdays with 57kg at $9.50. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Great Western Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 1600m, on a slow track, 0.9 len behind Perficere carrying 56kg at $11. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

CHEVAL SAVANT (3) has switched from the stable's Sydney barn and 17 days ago placed first-up at Newcastle at 1500m. Posted the same figure at Geelong on debut and will keep improving. Allen goes on and the gelding gets the nod. ONE THING COUNTS (5) resumes at the mile beaten a nose and racing a bit new. Will have taken fitness and learning from that and is a winning proposition. TEWKESBURY (7) is an improver back a touch in trip. Is in good hands and is also a hope. JACKAND (4) improved just missing this trip at Kyneton on a heavy surface. Won't get those conditions today but can't be ruled out.
This Moshe gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. Has had no recent barrier trials. Trained here and keep safe.

HUGHIE (2) ran along and was narrowly beaten at Warrnambool on debut. He will push forward and fitter is the one they have to beat. INNOCENT MOVES (7) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward. Has a sticky gate but is in well with the 3kg claim and is likely to return to racing further improved. AVOID ME (6) gave away a big start first-up and will be better for it. Has a better gate today and the blinkers go on to sharpen her up. In good hands and expect an improved effort. LONGWARRY (1) and THEMYSCIRA (11) are both debutants who profile well. The race-day betting will tell plenty with them.
At the latest run got back early 6th of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Likely Suspect with 59.5kg at $17. The start before that 4th of 11 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1400m, 5 len behind Laggan with 59.5kg at $26. Watch for a big final furlong.

MR TRAFFICANTI (2) resumed an even money favourite narrowly beaten. Finally draws a low gate and fitter can take this out. BLACK SHIRAZ (3) resumed in the same race beaten 2L and will have come on. Gets some gear tweaks and looks a hope. LITTLE SCHNITTY (7) resumes for the in-form Lindsay Smith barn. Her best Western Australian form stacks up and she will use the low barrier. Keep very safe. WARREN (5) will push forward and showed enough first-up to suggest he'll be around the mark.
Third-up today. Resuming raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on January 19 over 1300m, 6 len behind Hughes with 59.5kg at $26.

AMERICAIN HEART (6) hit the line well to place at Kyneton. She will be better for that and the lift to the mile suits. PERISSEUO (4) has switched from the McEvoy barn and is back after 57 days. He's good enough at best and draws to get every chance. METSI (8) resumed in good order and then didn't respond on a heavy track after as an equal favourite. Quick improvement is likely. MRS BULL (9) has been plainer the last two but the form prior reads well. The barrier is sticky but keep onside.

NABBED (7) raced a 7-4 favourite and was a strong 58 winner at Kilmore this trip. She has upside and can take the next step for a sharp barn. WESTBROOK PARK (1) placed as an equal favourite at Warrnambool and that reads well for this contest. Draws to advantage and Yendall goes on for the apprentice. GOLD LOGIE (6) led and spaced the 58 graders at Kyneton on a heavy track. Will likely find a dryer surface today and lifts a little in trip. In the mix. PADDY MAC (3) is third-up and will enjoy a soft run. Can show more.

Competitive. FRIDAY AT FIVE (5) came to the mile and won the 58 at Ararat with something up the sleeve. Keeps improving and the 4kg claim brings her right into it. LORD GOLDBERG (3) resumed further improved and then was much too good at the mile on a heavy surface. That may have flattered but fitter he should go close. INORDINATE (1) won a strong form race at 58 level before a plainer effort at The Valley in better grade. Carries a big weight but is a player dipping a touch in distance. GOOD GIRL BELLA (7) will use the rail and is going well enough to consider.

INALA MICHELLE (11) has been lipped out both starts for the new barn backed an 11-8 favourite in both. She won't have to go much better to be winning in this line-up. BOADICEA (4) won comfortably this grade at Geelong and then tackled better grade and was okay. Has been scratched at the barrier since and expect a bounce briefly freshened. THE SUPERINTENDENT (7) is also in good hands and got closer at Bendigo. Yendall goes on and the gelding can get into the money racing at peak fitness. FABIAN'S SPIRIT (12) finds it hard to win but got closer at Ararat and won't be far away.

BIFROST (1) has threatened his last three including in better company in town. Has a handy gate and gets his chance to post his fourth win. TANTO (11) returned from break over this journey and got home by a head bet an 11-10 favourite. She has the early speed to clear the awkward barrier and is a decent chance to repeat. PRIDE OF GALWAY (7) was tracking well before racing wide at Warrnambool and disappointing. His figures measure up and the rail should advantage. Look for a bounce. DAMASCUS MOMENT (2) is third-up and has been racing in stronger grade in Adelaide. John Allen takes over from the apprentice and keep safe.
