Going well. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at Colac 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 18 over 1600m, head behind Orpierre carrying 57.5kg at $1.70. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Stawell 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 4 over 1600m, nose behind Deer Scent carrying 57.5kg at $2.40. Put the writing on the wall last time.

MORNING HAS BROKEN (7) has started three times and looks close to a win after finishing in the minors last two, both in photos. On pacer who will take beating again. REFLECTING IMAGE (8) finished midfield last start at Moe after covering a lot of ground. Peaks and extra trip a plus. Rates a leading prospect on best. CELTIC GLORY (10) has two placings from six runs this campaign. Not a lot of luck last time and looks one of the chances. WRITE TO ROSSA (9) bounced back to form with a second place run at Benalla after a less than encouraging seventh at this track two back. Further improvement can see her in the finish. ATHLETIC ME (1) can do better than last start at Horsham.
Jumped at big odds at debut, got back early 9th of 12 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn on December 11 over 1400m, 7 len behind Door To Door carrying 59.5kg at $31. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, raced on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 12 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on November 28 over 1200m, 8 len behind Vasmee with 59.5kg at $61. Last start rider lost whip; 4th of 14 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Hard Questions carrying 59.5kg at $61. Looks one of the also-rans.

At debut, did the work up front then tired second last of 10 at Hamilton 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 7 over 1600m, 14 len behind Wheal Rose with 58kg at $21. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 12 at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn on December 10 over 1400m, 4 len behind Delightful Journey with 58kg at $2.80. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on December 10 over 1518m, 3 len behind Klatten with 57.5kg at $8.50. The race before that held up on straightening; ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on November 23 over 1340m, 3 len behind It's Tornado Storm with 57.5kg at $17. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Was at big odds at debut, eased back early on 11th of 14 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 9 over 1300m, 10 len behind Richmond Poet with 57.5kg at $41. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Lots of these close to a win. CATSKILL (5) finished among the placegetters last start when third at Geelong over 1750m and covered a lot of ground there. Long overdue and will take running down. PARAFIELD GARDENS (11) is yet to break through after seven career starts but was placed at Geelong two back before finishing fourth at Geelong last start. Back at home for the first time and looks a definite winning hope. MAGNETIC JEWEL (10) finished among the placings last time when second at this track and should be further improved. Another trained here and will be tough to stop. DRAKE PASSAGE (7) was well supported on debut when fourth and beaten 4 lengths at Cranbourne over 1400m. Has good upside. GRAND YORK (2) next best.
Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 12 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on November 28 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Vasmee with 59.5kg at $31. Before that 5th of 12 at this track 4yo+ Mdn on October 28 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Shallow carrying 59.5kg at $17. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

The race before that keen; sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on November 5 over 1700m, 2.25 len behind Black Monsoon with 69.5kg at $6.50. Draws well but predicted to struggle.

Number of winning hopes. ANONYMOUS SOURCE (5) was strongly fancied on debut despite a wide draw and after getting well back kept coming in the straight, finishing sixth at this track over 1300m. Extra trip a plus and has upside. Worth following up. JUST JOHNNO (2) was placed at Ballarat Synthetic on debut and went for a long break. Returns with the blinkers added and wouldn't have to improve much to feature. VAN ROY (8) placed third by 1.5 lengths last start at Moonee Valley and should race on the speed. Overdue and expected to feature again. SKINNY DIP (7) is another overdue. Closed off nicely when beaten 2 lengths last time at Geelong and should be winding up late again. MAGIC ACHIEVER (3) looks to have the ability.
Second run back. First-up after nine months 6th of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 9 over 1000m, 6 len behind Bullzeye Beauty carrying 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up raced three wide; raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on December 31 over 1100m, 3 len behind As I Please carrying 59.5kg at $31. Must improve significantly.

KASAMI (8) missed the placings for the first time when resuming. Settled further back than usual in last place and made some ground but never in it. Placed three runs prior and worth another try. Placed 3/4 at trip and placed only try here. CHOSEN MISS (10) was placed at Terang on debut when well in the market. Rates a strong winning hope with the benefit of that race experience. ANDRESS (6) was below best before a spell. Looks well placed and in the money 2/3 here. Strong claims on her best form. MINGORA (12) was strongly fancied on debut and was unplaced at Warracknabeal over 1200m back on July 5. Watch closely second time around. THE SILENT SERMON (5) should run well first-up.
Last start 5th of 9 at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm84) on December 18 over 1200m, 5 len behind Not To Be Mist carrying 54kg at $2.60. The run before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Pakenham 3yo+ (Bm70) November 25 over 1200m defeating Paperboy with 58.5kg at $2.10. Rates highly this time.

Majority coming off city form. SIXBYSIXTYTHREE (3) is a promising type who won three straight before a midfield run in town last time, finishing fifth at Flemington over 1200m. Well placed back to this company and looks the one to beat. NATIONAL CHOICE (5) is another resuming in easier and has spent much of career in far tougher, in fact os Gr3 placed. Long time since a win but easiest race he's contested since early in career. YULONG JUSTIFY (8) ran a 6 length 11th at Flemington last start and yet another who can do much better back to this company. Rates a hope. SWEET MARY (12) finished ninth last start, beaten 3.5 lengths at Caulfield over 1100m. Comes here with definite claims. YULONG CODE (6) should give this a shake.

REDWOOD SHADOW (6) has been in tougher last couple, the latest running on late when fifth at Flemington. Placed only try here. Looks suited here and expected to prove hard to hold out. PADDY MAC (1) was in the money last start when second at this track over 1700m and peaks for this. Trained here and Meech aboard. FABIAN'S SPIRIT (8) has six placings from nine runs this preparation. Expected to be in the mix again. TUKI TWELVE (10) was immediately off the mark with maiden win on debut this track and looks to have plenty of upside. MISTA RAZZLEDAZZLE (5) has two placings from three runs this campaign and finished 5.5 lengths off the winner last start at this track. Could sneak a place with some luck.

MR CANCUN (6) was a winner two back then a huge run from last to just miss at Flemington. Well placed here and will be tough to beat. AURORA'S SYMPHONY (7) performed well last start when third at Ararat over 2000m and peaks for this. Trained here and looks the main danger. Stablemate HUMBLE PIE (8) finished in the money last start running third at Moonee Valley and should strip fitter for two runs back. Expected to feature. SPANISH SNITZEL (10) finished just ahead of Humble Pie last time when second at Moonee Valley and also looks ready to hit top form. GUIZOT (1) is worth including.

GRAND POPE (6) has been winding up late, last time knuckling down strongly when finished one length from the winner at Sandown-Hillside. Has a wide gate to overcome but looks tough to hold off. PINOT PARTY (2) lifted to score narrowly by a nose last time out at Morphettville Parks. Rises in weight but going well and kept fresh for this. Should be in the finish. THUNDER POINT (9) finished off strongly when beaten 1.5 lengths last time at Bendigo. Tough to hold off again. MARK OF THE MAN (1) finished among the placings last time when second at this track and should be further improved. Expected to run well. ORNAMENTAL LADY (13) knuckled down strongly when finished 1.3 lengths from the winner at Geelong. Another who should be winding up late again.
