IRISH EXCHANGE (2) spiked his figures with the near miss as favourite at Pakenham over the mile. Fitter and a top hoop slicks. Needs the middle distance and the promising colt will take beating. FLAME OF VENICE (8) is an improving filly who worked home soundly at the same venue She sits at the bottom of the weights and is also looking for the 2000m. TAVABEEL (5) resumes over 1700m and faded late beaten 3.3L. Will be better for that and is a player. KANO (1) finally has a low gate and isn't out of it despite up in distance from a sprint.
Two-year-old gelding who is first starter by Fighting Sun out of Miss Wynette. Has not been produced at official trials. Worth keeping very safe.

The race-day betting will be instructive. On what we've seen SIR JUGGERNAUT (6) will take beating building on the nose defeat here on debut. Draws for the run of the race. RED RAPID (8) resumes and debuted at Moonee Valley and raced wide. Gets the outside gate but she's sure to have come on. DEMON DARB (3) debuts form the rail for a top barn with the blinkers applied. He will be well prepared and is a betting watch. DO IT LA (7) is also in good hands and a bold debut is likely.
At debut, began awkwardly and keen; second last of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ Mdn on January 19 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Forged with 58kg at $5.50. Open to improvement. Strong winning hope.

At the latest run keen; set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo+ F&M Mdn on January 14 over 1300m, 0.8 len behind Rumbled Again carrying 58kg at $17. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 12 at Stony Creek 4yo+ Mdn on December 27 over 1100m, 7 len behind Santa Fe Rose carrying 57.5kg at $10. Sure to improve again. Top chance.

Symon Wilde trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Scored a win in a barrier trial at Foxton over 1000m on 19-Oct-21. Looking for a good debut outing.

Three-year-old filly first-starter by Foxwedge out of Resource. No trial form to work with so the market will go a long way to telling her tale.

DICKENSIAN (1) is in good hands and did enough on debut at Sandown (L) to say this is winnable with the extra fitness. Draws for the run of the race and Higgins strikes at 20% with the yard. TOM ROCKS (6) was plain two back but the form around that stacks right up. He's a leader and fully fit will take pegging back. VOLPE RISORSA (10) debuts for the in-form McEvoy's and McDougall rides and is building a decent nice record with the barn. Draws out but no surprise if she has plenty of ability. ZOUWEST (3) disappointed the latest but showed enough prior to get another chance. Draws low and has the winkers applied first time.
Second-up. First-up after four months overraced early stages and shifted out near 1000m; 8th of 14 at Donald 3yo Mdn on January 30 over 1350m, 5.5 len behind Patmos Island carrying 58kg at $31. Previously second-up checked early on; got back early 8th of 11 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on September 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Serenaur carrying 57kg at $21. Fitter but must improve sharply.

TAUTY (9) was beaten a lip here before the spell and got even closer at Moe on resumption as favourite. Doubt he has to improve much to go one better. SKYBEAM (5) looked good on debut placing at Cranbourne. Fitter now and is feared. HEAVY DUTY (2) has more to give off a positive return. Gets Childs today and the blinkers first time. Well in the mix. LEICA TROOPER (3) debuts and profiles well. A betting watch.
Useful gelding. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at Pakenham 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 27 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Fac with 59.5kg at $4.50. The start before that won by a head at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) January 6 over 1418m defeating Nantucket with 62.5kg at $2.30. Doesn’t need to improve much to salute.

Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Traralgon (Bm64) November 28 over 1430m defeating Locko with 59kg at $3.30. No threat last start but is capable of better.

Previously first up; sixth of 11 at Pakenham 3yo+ (Bm64) January 21 2021 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Safe Passage with 61.5kg at $17. Doesn't appeal.

Last start raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 23 over 1500m, 8 len behind Magnolia Rose with 60kg at $6.50.

Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Went for a spell before returning came from midfield and won by 2 len at Terang 3yo+ Mdn January 2 over 1400m defeating Miss Carashan with 57.5kg at $4.50. Don't underestimate.

KERMY (1) won the 58 and then spiked his figures again missing a half length this grade at Pakenham. He will run along again and keeps the 3kg claim. He can bounce. TORBRECK (5) made an impression placing at Cranbourne and then flopped here and prepared to forgive. Gets a soft run and is worth another chance. ZERELLE (6) resumes off a Group 1 at the mile and is right up to this if presented on song. He's speed-bred and has been gelded. PENFRIEND (7) is an improver from an in-form yard who can build on the easy first-up Maiden win. She's one a trial since.
At the latest run inconvenienced near 500m and crowded near turn; sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Hamilton 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 28 over 1600m, in the wet; 13 len behind Morning Has Broken with 61kg at $10. Before that began awkwardly; 9th of 13 at Warrnambool (Bm64) on December 31 over 1400m, 9 len behind He's Exclusive with 60kg at $21. Beaten comfortably last time out but this suits.

Competitive on paper. SACRED LEGACY (5) improved sharply beaten a nose at Kilmore and will be fitter again. Was a well-bet favourite and can go one better if she can avoid being cluttered up from the rail. MISHIKA (6) missed a nose at Cranbourne three-back and was just beaten the latest as favourite. Gets the blinkers first time and is worth another chance. AMALFI AMORE (3) was on-speed here winning the Maiden comfortably. Keeps the small claim and looks capable of taking the next step. MAGNOSSIVA (2) has been racing in town and is better than the form-line suggests. Gets a big weight lift but can't be ruled out.

A good contest. DUKE OF NEWORLEANS (2) led and easily ran his best race beaten a whisker at Kilmore. Led in that and again draws to advantage. Near peak and can go one better. WILD EXPRESS (5) has threatened the three starts back and led beaten 1.5L at Cranbourne the latest in a strong form race. Draws low and will go close. BULL DUST (6) missed a nose at Warrnambool at 40-1 completely turning his form around. It rated strongly and he will be fitter. GAIUS (7) was okay at Flemington and can make the first-four.

FRENCH MOON (1) runs along and delivered this grade at trip at Donald as expected. Linda sticks and from a handy gate and will get every chance to go on. WISAKA (5) peaks and is a danger. Was just lipped out at Sandown (L) the latest and is ready to win. The outside gate is the query and French Moon will give him a start. MILETUS (2) is third-up and was much better at Warrnambool. Has raced at Group level and has more to give. ECO WARRIOR (7) is also on the improve and was heavily-bet placing here the latest. Not sure the rail suits.
