Not going well enough to challenge here.

Three-year-old gelding first-starter by Vadamos out of Say No More (NZD $ 45,000 (NZB 2020 Karaka National Yearling Sale - Book 1) purchase). The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Bred to appreciate further but should be doing his best work late.

Nice effort last start when resuming. One for the multiples.

AMALFI SPRITZ (1) resumed from a long spell last start with a good fourth when an odds on favourite behind What A Sham who has since gone to town and ran second to the talented Attractable who looks destined for better races. He'll strip fitter here and looks a good chance of breaking through from a forward position in the run. FEARGAL (3) resuming will make her own luck on speed and can run a cheeky race over this trip fresh up on her home track. Don't take lightly. ANDRESS (7) caught the eye coming from well back for a close second at this track last start when first up. She might be starting to put it all together and appeals each way. MON CHEVAL (6) creates plenty of interest on debut and although he'll appreciate further in time warrants plenty of respect for the O'Brien/Lane combination. CONSISTENT CHOICE (5) is capable of improvement at his second time to the races and is one for the exotics.
Second run back. First-up after five months began awkwardly; ran last of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1100m, 15 len behind Chosen Miss with 59.5kg at $151. Previously second-up slowly away; second last of 7 at this track 2yo+ Mdn on May 5 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Tintinwin with 59.5kg at $151. Didn't do enough first up to suggest he can get into the finish here.

Four-year-old gelding (Savabeel - Misspro O'reilly) will no doubt benefit from the five trials prior to his debut today. Last trial fifth over 1100m in a Traralgon trial on December 15. The market will be the best guide to his chances on debut. Lone Trial was encouraging. Don't underestimate.

Returned from break 4th of 10 at Kerang 3yo+ Mdn on December 26 over 1100m, 5 len behind Palace Road with 56.5kg at $4.50. Will make his own luck on speed but a place preferred.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run held up near turn and held up on straightening; 5th of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on December 10 over 1518m, 4.5 len behind Klatten carrying 57.5kg at $4.50. The run before that began awkwardly; eased back early on 5th of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on November 23 over 1340m, 4.5 len behind It's Tornado Storm carrying 57.5kg at $5. Has the form to go close. Worth plenty of thought.

Third race start. First start raced below expectations; 6th of 9 at Warracknabeal 2yo Mdn on July 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Danaustar carrying 56kg at $2.10. Went for a break before racing on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Chosen Miss with 56kg at $11. Nice effort when resuming last start at this track. Looks one of the main chances.

TYPHOON MOON (10) just missed over the course and distance first up behind Blue Army who went on to win the G2 Sandown Guineas. She's been thereabouts at her past two starts including last start behind handy types Klatten and Flying Rex. Follow up on her back to this course and trip. MINGORA (11) didn't have a lot of luck late last start and looks suited out to this trip with added fitness, from a forward position in the run. GOT AN INSPIRATION (6) ran evenly on debut and is bred to appreciate further in time but he's capable of good improvement at his second time to the races. Don't take lightly. HE'S ON FORM (2) on debut for the astute Patrick Payne yard warrants plenty of respect off an encouraging Trial and any market moves could prove significant. MONEY FOR OLD ROPE (3) on debut at his home track is another to keep an eye on and a forward showing can be expected.
Back after a long spell. Finished off last preparation hampered at start and shifted out concluding stages; second last of 11 at Warracknabeal 3yo+ Mdn on April 3 over 1000m, 14 len behind Gloves Are Off with 57kg at $41. When resuming last campaign slowly away; 9th of 11 at Echuca 3yo Mdn on October 26 2020 over 1209m, slow going 6 len behind Savagery carrying 56kg at $21. Hasn't shown enough to date to suggest she can threaten here.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 11 at Mildura Mdn Plate on July 24 over 1000m, slow going 2 len behind Exlover with 57kg at $3. Went for a break before returning 4th of 8 at Colac 3yo Mdn on December 18 over 1000m, 3 len behind Asfoora with 58kg at $3.30. Even effort resuming. This is harder but open to plenty of natural improvement.

Second run from a spell 4th of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Chosen Miss carrying 56kg at $3. Stuck to her task well on speed last start when favourite. Could take running down again.

Jumped at big odds at debut, laid out on straightening and laid out in straight; 6th of 8 at Colac 3yo Mdn on December 18 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Asfoora with 56kg at $26. Encouraging effort on debut. Will make her own luck on speed and could add value to the exotics.

FINANCE CHOICE (6) resumes here having just missed on debut behind the talented Darceandermill with a good gap to third. She showed enough in two subsequent runs to suggest that this is a suitable target first up with natural improvement. She can go close. EDGY ERA (11) is yet to place in four runs to date but looks set to show her best here third up from a spell. She stuck to her task well as this track last start only fading late when favourite in a race run in good time. Keep safe. POCKET ROX (8) was well supported first up in an easier race when fourth and can improve again here with added fitness. WINTER PINTER (9) was placed on debut over this trip and appeals each way resuming here from a forward position in the run. DE LONG STAR (10) was thereabouts last start but gets the Blinkers on which may give her the spark to find her best form. Include in the multiples.
Third-up today. First-up eased near 600m; 8th of 12 at Hamilton 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Mighty Ganges with 59.5kg at $101. Last start 6th of 14 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 1400m, 5 len behind Hard Questions with 59.5kg at $81. Gets the Blinkers on here but is yet to place and others are preferred.

The race before that wide throughout; 3rd of 9 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on November 19 over 1850m, 13 len behind Tallandoon carrying 69.5kg at $10. Others have stronger winning claims.

Was well in the market at debut, wide throughout; made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 1400m, nose behind Hard Questions carrying 58kg at $4.50. Impressed on debut when only going down narrowly. Can go one better here.

DODGY ONE (4) impressed on debut when only nabbed late by Hard Questions who looks to have good ability. He'll take good benefit from that experience and should relish this trip and further on breeding and is well related. He can go close again at his second time to the races. ADALEENE (6) has placed at four of her six starts to date and a win isn't far away. She was a good second to the talented Glamdam prior to spelling and looks ready to show her best here third up off a last start second. RIVINADO (1) was a close up third to Hard Questions last start when resuming and is in the mix again with added fitness. Keep safe. FIRMITY (14) is open to plenty of improvement second up off a strong first up effort. This trip should suit and she isn't without a hope. BAD INFLUENCE (8) has the form and should be thereabouts again. PARAFIELD GARDENS (12) is progressing nicely and stuck to her task well behind an easy winner at this track last start. Include among the chances.

Creates interest dropping sharply in grade. Worth plenty of thought.

PENTIRE'S SPIRIT (1) gets to the right race now having finished a close second in town last start in stronger grade behind the handy Curly Burgin who has been a multiple city winner this season. His last win was in this distance range and he can go close again ridden handy to the speed. HENDRIKA (2) is close to another win having been thereabouts at this track two starts ago behind Glassey Miss who contests the day's feature later on the card. She drops sharply in grade from last start when close up in town behind the talented Americain Angel. Keep safe. BUNDLE OF FUN (6) is lightly raced and progressing well. She has plenty of upside and warrants respect. NICAJON (4) split a talented pair over the course and distance last start when up in grade, with a good gap to the third horse. Don't take lightly. TRENCHANT (5) is very honest and can add value to the exotics on his best form.

Good race. MCKEEVER (8) has started favourite in all three runs back from a spell and hasn't been beaten far on each occasion. He looks like he'll get conditions to suit on his home track and can break through for that elusive next win from a forward position in the run. MISS DIVINE EM (6) was far from disgraced down the Flemington straight behind the progressive Scorched Earth last start when first up. She's a winner second up and if she can overcome an awkward draw she's likely to be figuring in the finish. BOLD MANNER (7) is better suited here after getting too far back in a handy race in town last start when in the market. Don't take lightly. FILIP'S STAR (4) has placed at three of his past four starts including a win and appeals each way. BULL DUST (9) is an honest type who can add value to the exotics fitter second up and is a winner over the course and distance in the past.
Resuming after 12 weeks. Finished off last preparation bumped rival; third of 8 at Horsham Horsham Cup October 17 over 2100m, 4 len behind Orleans Rock with 54kg at $5.50.

First up last campaign ninth of 12 at Caulfield (Bm84) May 29 over 1400m, 6 len behind Biometric with 56.5kg at $51. First up. Consistent galloper capable of forward showing fresh. Don't take lightly.
Last start held up near 250m; 4th of 10 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm64) on December 20 over 2150m, 4.5 len behind Fighting Arrow with 61kg at $8.50. The race before that began awkwardly and overraced middle stages; eased back early on 8th of 10 at Moonee Valley 3yo+ F&M (Bm70) on December 10 over 2040m, 2.5 len behind Maid Of Iron carrying 60kg at $26. Racing well but others may have her measure back in trip. Prefer a place.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 6th of 10 at Penola (Bm68) on December 3 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind Wild Willy carrying 55.5kg at $26. Last start slowly away; got back early 9th of 13 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 20 over 1400m, 8 len behind The Stager with 60.5kg at $41. This looks too tough. Prefer in something easier.

Difficult to split the top three. MR CANCUN (2) has placed at his past four starts including a win and two narrow defeats at his last two starts when closing fast late on both occasions. He can settle closer in the small field and use his sharp turn of foot to finish over the top of them. INTELLECTIVE (4) looms as a danger having finished a close third to the talented Foxy Frida over the Flemington Spring Carnival before two even efforts in preparation for this. Keep safe. GLASSEY MISS (5) has won two of her four starts on her home track and although she hasn't been to the distance she warrants plenty of respect off some good recent form. KINGS FULL (1) is better over further but he's capable of figuring in the finish fresh from a forward position in the run. NORDIC SYMPHONY (6) may not be suited back in trip but is racing well and is one for the multiples.
Resuming. Finished off last campaign wide during race; second last of 12 at Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm64) on October 8 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Brazen Song with 61kg at $31. First up last campaign crowded at start; 4th of 8 at Pakenham 3yo+ Hcp (C1) on March 25 over 1400m, slow going 1.0 len behind Changing Tracks with 60kg at $17. Talented stayer resuming. Should be finishing off strongly but a place preferred.

Useful gelding. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) December 21 over 1335m defeating Elite Drake carrying 59kg at $31. The race before that 3rd of 8 at Ararat 3yo+ (Bm58) on November 30 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Pill Box carrying 64kg at $15. Was a surprise winner in this grade last start beating a handy type. Don't take lightly.

Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Yarra Valley 3yo+ (Bm58) December 17 over 1500m defeating Imagine Howe with 62kg at $6.50. The start before that eased near 50m; 7th of 11 at Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 10 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Night Hussler carrying 62.5kg at $21. In winning form but prefer a place in this grade.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Won at only race start won by 1.5 len at Matamata 3yo+ Mdn September 1 over 1400m defeating The Boogeyman carrying 57kg at $4.50. First up. Impressed when winning over this trip on debut. Warrants plenty of respect.

Second run back. First-up after seven months reared at start and bombed the start (7l+); ran last of 11 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) on December 21 over 1335m, 15 len behind Southern Native carrying 57kg at $10. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a head at Geelong 3yo Mdn May 21 over 1755m on a soft track defeating Almsgiver with 56kg at $13. Forgive last start when things didn't go right from the start. Watch for later over further.

Form hard to fault. Last start scored a big 6 len win at Terang 3yo+ Hcp (58) January 2 over 1400m defeating Noble Rocks with 58kg at $5.50. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Naracoorte (Bm58) on December 27 over 1100m, long-neck behind Brobak with 58.5kg at $3.50. Was an easy winner last start out in front. This is tougher but can't be underestimated.

At the latest run 4th of 7 at Burrumbeet 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 1 over 1350m, 4 len behind Libbyangel carrying 55kg at $13. The start before that 2nd of 13 at Stawell 3yo+ Hcp (58) on December 4 over 1300m, head behind Vanderland carrying 57kg at $21. Gate is no help and prefer in something easier.

THUNDER POINT (6) was a good second first up behind the talented So Risque who has since won in town. Last time out he started favourite over the course and distance when no match for He's Exclusive from an awkward draw. He can go one better here from a better gate, fitter third up. BOLD BOURBON (8) creates plenty of interest making his local debut for the astute Lindsey Smith yard. He impressed when winning on debut over this trip prior to spelling and a forward showing on his new home track can be expected. CRU CLASSE (4) showed good ability over a middle distance in town over Winter and he looms as a danger first up. Keep safe. ROSE TIARA (13) was an easy winner out in front in easier last start and although this is tougher, she warrants plenty of respect. KNOCK KNOCK (3) resumed in good form last start and has a narrow course and distance second to Corner Pocket to his credit. Don't take lightly.
