Three-year-old gelding (Shalaa - Malukar) will no doubt benefit from the two trials prior to his debut today. Last trial sixth at Rosehill in a 1030m trial on September 14. Hard to have in this line up.

MISS HAVANA COSMIC (8) missed a nose at Sale first-up and then didn't have the best of it this trip at Pakenham. Draws the outside barrier but has the blinkers applied first time and will be sharper. In the premier barn and is ready to win. SMOKIN' SOLDIER (3) is running out of chances but has shown form that would have him competitive. Has been freshened and can work into the finish. LOYAL CONSUL (2) has been going well enough to fill a slot on a 6-day return. GIMME A BUZZ (4) won't be far away in a weak race.
Second-up. First-up after eight months pre race incident and passed fit at barrier; rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 at Swan Hill 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 11 over 1600m, nose behind Testa Life with 63.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn Plate August 19 over 1700m on a heavy track defeating Feargal with 59.5kg at $3. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes off a 45 day let-up. Last start second last of 10 (keen; shied at crossing; failed to respond to riding) at Ballarat 3yo+ (Bm58) on March 8 over 2600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Maradona with 62.5kg at $8. The race before that shifted out on straightening and laid in in the straight; with blinkers first time; 6th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on February 16 over 2400m, 8 len behind Oh So Far carrying 60kg at $21. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign began awkwardly; eighth of 12 at Doomben (Bm68) January 15 over 2070m, 7 len behind Aiolos carrying 57kg at $9. When resuming last campaign seventh of 13 at Gold Coast (Bm65) November 20 over 1400m, 6 len behind Vistabelle with 57.5kg at $101. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expect a bold showing.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign by 1.0 len Hamilton 3yo+ Mdn Hrdl June 1 over 3200m slow track defeating Holburt carrying 69.5kg at $9.

Likely to need this run.

MIGHTY OASIS (13) got a lot closer at Warrnambool and has won a jumps trial since. Will run it right out and gets the nod in a tricky contest. KAITUKU (1) has switched to a form barn and missed a nose resuming at the mile. He runs along and should be ready for the middle distance. FIORENTE LASS (7) was just pipped at Geelong two-back and then never looked likely at Mornington. Has the visors on first time and expect a much better effort. PURE DEAL (6) has switched from Queensland and was last seen in March winning a Gold Coast trial. This distance wouldn't bother the Dundeel gelding at best but it's a question of his readiness.
At the latest run keen and lame; 4th of 9 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on March 31 over 1218m, 5 len behind Dignified Doubt carrying 59kg at $31. Before that overraced throughout and failed to handle going; sat on the pace before fading with blinkers first time; 7th of 10 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn on March 1 over 1400m, in the wet; 9 len behind Pocket Change carrying 58kg at $101. Expected to finish much closer.

Last start with blinkers first time; ran last of 9 (began awkwardly; overraced near 800m; raced wide without cover) at Kilmore 3yo Mdn on April 7 over 1100m, 8 len behind Maggie Now carrying 58kg at $31. The race before that 8th of 10 (keen; laid in in the straight; shifted in near 100m) at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn Plate on March 14 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Cheloon carrying 58kg at $31. Not racing well but has claims if anywhere near his best.

Was well-supported at debut, keen; with blinkers first time; 5th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn on April 7 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Maggie Now with 58kg at $2.60. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.

At debut, slowly away and blundered near 600m; 7th of 9 at Kilmore 3yo Mdn on April 7 over 1100m, 6 len behind Maggie Now with 56kg at $13. Can do better. Strong chance in this line-up.

TRIUMPHANTLY (6) was solid on resumption and then improved sharply beaten 2L at Cranbourne. Better for that and draws to advantage. Gets the nod over PRINCE OF ROME (5) who will be better for the solid debut effort at Kilmore. In a top barn and Childs sticking is a plus. The longer sprint should suit. CONTE GRIGIO (2) was bumped early on debut but worked to the speed and emptied in the straight. He will use the rail and fitter looks a hope. THE HAY FLYER (9) also has her second start and showed enough at Kilmore after a slow off to consider.
Resuming from a lengthy break. At only start last campaign sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 (keen; laid out near 600m; laid out in straight) at Casterton 3yo+ Mdn on September 5 over 1100m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Timson carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. May well prove too smart for these first-up.

Should progress from first-up run.

On debut struck interference at start and overraced near 1000m; second last of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn Plate June 20 over 1200m, 10 len behind Tessneem carrying 56kg at $61.

ON A WINNING DAY (7) was beaten a short-half-head on debut and didn't have the best of it. One of the state's top riders sticks and that's a decent push for her chances. Can go one better. RECAP (8) has been busting to win for a form barn and there was only a whisker in it here the latest. Was heavily-bet and is a danger reaching peak fitness. REFLECTED (9) debuts and profiles well. Has the winkers on and the betting should tell if she's up to winning. ATOMIC GOLD (1) resumes and showed enough on debut to consider with the natural improvement.
Useful type. At the latest run 7th of 9 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 1 over 1135m, 2.25 len behind Timber Top with 63kg at $4.80. The race before that with blinkers first time; 3rd in a small field (slowly away; held up on straightening; checked near 100m) at Stony Creek (Bm64) on March 13 over 1100m, 5 len behind Blistering carrying 58kg at $6. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Previously second-up began awkwardly and keen; got back early 4th in a small field at Kilmore 3yo Mdn on October 29 over 1112m, slow going 2 len behind Gorgeous Prophet carrying 58kg at $31.

JUNKO (8) led and won the Maiden by 5.5L and then was okay in stronger than this. Draws to advantage and a 3kg claimer goes on today. Draws to advantage and can bounce back for a top barn. CIRCLE OF MAGIC (5) resumes and brings good form from better grade. She's won fresh and will push forward and can feature if presented on-song. REDNECK PRINCESS (9) is a leader who's placed the last two in the country. Has the handy 2kg claim and will give a sight. NO SHAME (1) is a local who's placed 3/5 fresh. Has the 2kg claim and should get the run of the race. She's also a betting watch.

SHALAGA (4) was back in business winning the Maiden this distance range at Ballarat and then tackled the Listed Port Adelaide Guineas and was out-graded. Draws for the run of the race today and can bounce back this grade and at the mile. A PINCH OF LUCK (6) won and then missed a lip this grade and then raced in Adelaide in better class and didn't get into it bet 20-1. Has had a month away and can get back on track. PUFNSTUF (3) missed a whisker this trip at Benalla and a 2kg claimer goes on. Peaks and is a chance. BARON OF BEDFORD (7) resumed in good order and has more to offer. In the mix.

EL SALTO (1) has been racing in much better city company and the 2.6L defeat at The Valley the latest reads extra well. In good hands and draws for the run of the race. Comes back to a shorter sprint but that shouldn't bother. LIBERALIZED (5) is a speedy galloper on resumption and pulled up with an issue the latest in Adelaide. Missed a nose prior on the synthetic and has a handy 2kg claim today and has placed 2/2 fresh. Will have come on and is well in the mix. A LONE HERO (2) won here this grade 13 days ago bet a 15/8 favourite. Has a 4kg claim today and that brings him right into it. RASTELLI (6) will be fitter and is on the improve. She won't be far away.
Useful gelding. At the latest run began awkwardly and overraced early, middle stages; second last of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 8 over 1500m, 6 len behind Baglioni carrying 59kg at $21.

SHOWMINDER (3) has had won blip in a string of strong efforts. He's fast and led beaten just 1.3L at Geelong the latest and that reads well. Uses the low gate and will be tough to beat. HILLCREST MOSES (2) has threatened the last three and they also stack up. The blinkers are removed for the first time and he will go close again. ANEWDAYDAWNING (4) is up to this at best and can show more back a level. HELANO (1) missed the hat-trick in a 64 after a slow off and can fill a minor slot forgetting that.
