MAC KALHOUN (3) did a good job on debut last time out, finishing a long neck from the winner in second over 1450m at Kyneton. Will take plenty of benefit from that and the rise in trip should suit the son of Shocking. PARIAH CONVICTION (6) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Can mix his form but best figures stack up. HYPOCRITE (2) is a 10-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at Sandown-Lakeside over 1500m, beaten 17 lengths. Clearly better than that and ran well over this range last time in. YANKEE ZULU (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Horsham, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. In the each-way mix.
At debut, 9th of 11 at Cranbourne F&M Mdn-Sw on December 23 over 1200m, 11 len behind Nunthorpe carrying 58kg at $21. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

SCHILLER EFFECT (7) lifted strongly only to fail narrowly when first up last start at Terang over 1200m. Should tighten right up following that outing and hasn't run a bad race yet. Hard to beat. SAVVY BEE (12) settled well back from a good draw last time before running on solidly to finish fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths, over 1200m at Colac. The rise in trip suits and she can win. SHIKISHI (13) was right behind Savvy Bee at Colac and will give herself every chance by racing on the speed. EMPRESS OF SYDNEY (9) is a filly by Holy Roman Emperor out of Fictional Account on debut who should measure up.

MESCHEVER (8) is back after a break of ten months. Was close up in all four starts in her debut campaign, with her first run especially promising. Will get back and be hard to hold out. MARTHA LAVINIA (14) is still a maiden after nine starts but was very good at Mornington two back and a repeat of that goes close here. FOXPATH (1) fought on well for second last start over 1000m at Wangaratta, making it two minor placings in a row. Will find this assignment a little tougher but should be competitive. ROCK DIAMOND (12) is a three-year-old filly from the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace stable on debut today. Worth watching for a betting push.
Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 14 at Terang 4Up Mdn-Sw on November 12 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Stabler with 59.5kg at $21.

Very open race. Siding with DIO (2) who resumes. He can mix his form but his best is certainly good enough and he draws for a good run. No shock to see him run well. PROPHET'S CHOICE (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Colac, beaten only 1.75 lengths. A repeat of that run should be competitive. CEEJAY (7) was just fair at Geelong when last seen and has spelled since. Gets the 3kg claim for a promising young jockey and is right in this. GOTTALUVJIMMY (4) struggled at Terang last start but was beaten under half a length at this track prior and must be considered off that.

His last run at Hobart was very good when narrowly beaten and it'll be no shock to see him measure right up. HANDFUL (1) ran respectably in a much stronger race at Moonee Valley last time out. He's been freshened and comes back in trip which is the slight query but he has the class. FIGHTING SWEET (11) can feature.

SAMEDI (2) returns from a let up. He showed early speed last start then battled on well for third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1980m at Tatura. Has form at this distance and maps for a soft run. CALLIGRAPHER (13) wasn't beaten far at Wangaratta last time out and may appreciate the rise in trip now. CHELSEA TOFF (10) was just fair at Moe last time out but her run at Geelong prior was good for second and she can cross and lead these. BETTER TOMORROW (1) returned from a break with a solid seventh, winding up late at the end of 1100m at Stawell after settling well back. Solid top-three prospects.

SOCIALITE MISS (12) raced on the pace and went down fighting at Colac last start over 1600m. Draws much better this time and a repeat of that effort will see her hard to catch. TACTFULL (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran well fresh at Benalla and has to be considered a chance off that effort. BELLUNA (8) won well at Hamilton two back before struggling at Geelong. No shock to see her improve from a decent alley. EAMONN'S MEMORY (15) hasn't really produced this campaign but worth consideration today.
