Fitter for a recent trial and rates a chance. EXCUSEZ MOI (9) didn't have a lot of luck in the run home on debut and should be further improved.

AMALFI SPRITZ (1) has ability and looks well placed here but for the draw. Started favourite fresh and went forward before finishing fourth at Geelong.

WHAT HAPPENED (7) closed off nicely despite covering ground when beaten 1.1 lengths last time at Wangaratta. Fitter for the run and can figure in the finish. RETELL (5) finished among the placings last time when third at Sale and should be further improved. Expected to run well. CHELSEA TOFF (8) should run well first-up.

TYPHOON MOON (10) is fitter for three runs from a spell and looks hard to beat here. Nine start maiden but placed 3/4 this trip and gets chance off a low draw. PENFRIEND (8) finished midfield at her debut at Morphettville then went for a long break. Has upside and looks a definite danger here. JUST JOHNNO (1) is also resuming from a good break after showing ability on debut, when placing at Ballarat Synthetic. Rates a serious chance with the benefit of that race experience. MISS CARASHAN (7) finished in the money last start running third at this track and should strip fitter for two runs back. GOSSITINO (12) could be ready to improve out to this distance third up.
Last start crowded near 800m; 5th of 13 at this track 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 20 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind The Stager with 62kg at $17.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

FREE FLYING STAR (15) has been in the money both runs this time in and looks ready to score. Wound up steadily when second last start at Wangaratta over 1300m.

STREET BABY (5) doesn't win out of turn but rarely far away and has been in the money four of last five. Made considerable ground when third last start at Colac over 2000m. The one to beat. FLYING MR DAVIS (7)is backing up quickly after placing five days ago, running third at Yarra Valley. Rates a winning chance on best. FIJI (1) ran fourth in the same race as Street Baby last time and knuckled down strongly despite finding trouble, beaten 1.75 lengths from the winner. Among the chances again. FAST FOILS (3) bounced back to form with a second place run at Nhill after a less than encouraging ninth at Stawell two back. Further improvement can see him in the finish. COMPULSIVE (9) made progress finishing midfield last start at Kyneton. Looks suited and can feature.

KAAKIT AKIT (7) will be rock-hard fit now following a nice effort at Moonee Valley last start when fourth. HINT OF MINT (5) can play a role in the finish while fresh.

ORPIERRE (2) scored a narrow but determined win last time at Colac when finally getting off the mark. That has since proved a strong form race with a few winner coming through it. Rises in weight but in form and worth following up. HIGH TORQUE (1) has two placings from four runs this preparation and hasn't been far away. Drawn the rails and looks one of the chances. MR POCKET (4) was solid fresh when finishing midfield at Sale on heavy going. Can only be fitter for this. FIABLE (7) can improve on recent runs when coming back in grade. SARNIA (13) next best.
