ZUPAGROOVE (5) on debut has been well supported in early markets and creates plenty of interest with Jack Hill taking the ride. DOUBLE OH SEVEN (6) on debut for Team Hawkes has been kept safe in early markets. She's sure to be well educated and a forward showing wouldn't surprise. MAGNY COURS (2) faces the starter for the first time and put in an encouraging Trial effort prior to spelling. He can figure in the finish. CATALINA BLACK CAT (1) first up has the benefit of race experience. He can run well fresh with natural improvement. GLOWING GOLD (8) warrants plenty of respect on debut for the powerful Maher/Eustace yard and any market moves could prove significant.

HEAVENLY EAGLE (2) has placed twice in town to start his career including last start when favourite. A win isn't far away and if he can handle the give in the ground he should be hard to beat. GUSMAO (1) ran an encouraging race for third on debut last start when making up plenty of ground from the back. He was in the market on that occasion and looms as a danger here with added fitness. LUMIN (7) stuck to her task well at this track last start when second on debut. She's in the mix again from a forward position in the run. VAIN FOX (6) showed enough in three runs last preparation to suggest that this is a suitable first up assignment. Keep safe. JAYEFFTHUNDER (3) can add value to the exotics first up from a spell with natural improvement.
Most recently 5th of 11 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on April 23 over 1850m, slow going 10 len behind Retrospection carrying 59kg at $21. The race before that slowly away and too firm; ran last of 9 at Stawell 3yo Mdn on April 17 over 1300m, 15 len behind New Enterprise carrying 58kg at $201. Yet to place and that looks unlikely to change here.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 9 at Benalla 3yo+ Mdn on April 12 over 1406m, 4.5 len behind Zero Cases with 59kg at $5.50. Previously second-up rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 11 at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn on October 12 over 1887m, 4 len behind Kwoi Hoi carrying 57kg at $41. Likely to make his own luck on speed and ran an encouraging race last start when first up. Perhaps a place.

Capable of improvement at her third time to the races but others have stronger winning claims.

Before that 5th of 10 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn Plate on March 24 over 1612m, 1.75 len behind Claidheamh Mor with 57kg at $4. Yet to place but a win isn't far away. One for the exotics.

NAVAL SEAL (5) can be forgiven for last start when things didn't go his way in the run and a better reference is his two placings prior to start his career. This trip is suitable and from a forward position in the run he won't be far away at the finish. JENNIFERENTI (8) was a close up third in town when a warm favourite resuming from a let up last start. A win isn't far away and if she can handle the give in the ground she looms as a danger. KYTELER (4) closed off nicely at this track last start when well in the market and the daughter of Shamus Award warrants plenty of respect again out to this trip. Keep safe. LADY WHISTLEDOWN (9) is yet to place but has finished close up at her past four starts. Don't take lightly. CALMSIR (1) made sharp improvement last start when resuming on the Heavy and she appeals each way with added fitness.
Useful type. Most recently slowly away and held up on straightening; got back early 7th of 14 at this track 3yo+ (Bm70) on April 24 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Highland Jakk with 62kg at $16. The run before that 5th of 9 at Mt Gambier Open Hcp on April 1 over 1550m, 1.2 len behind Prospectus with 57kg at $4. Talented on his day but a place preferred.

Unbeaten in two runs back from a spell including a runaway win last start. Should be hard to beat again.

Watch for later.

Second-up. First-up after five months 5th of 14 at this track 3yo+ (Bm70) on April 24 over 1600m, 4 len behind Highland Jakk with 58kg at $61. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Terang Terang Cup on April 18 2021 over 2150m, slow going 0.9 len behind Wentwood carrying 54kg at $17. Encouraging effort last start when resuming but likely to need more racing and distance.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up laid in in the straight and proved difficult to ride out; second last of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm70) on April 6 over 1200m, 7 len behind Rockribbed carrying 59kg at $13. Second-up second last of 9 at Sandown-Hillside (Bm70) on April 30 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Skywolf with 56kg at $16. Fitter third up but needs to improve to figure.

Last start eased near 1200m and failed to handle going; 3rd of 8 at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 29 over 1535m, slow going 2.5 len behind Booker Tee with 63kg at $21. The race before that got back early 7th of 11 at Stawell (Bm64) on April 17 over 1300m, 6 len behind Chill With Teejay with 58.5kg at $101. Caught the eye late in an easier race last time out but others have stronger winning claims here.

BARRETTA (2) was a narrow winner two starts ago in good time when favourite before a forgive run last start when things didn't go his way. He appears to have plenty of upside and if he can handle the ground he can return to winning form. JACK OF IT (3) has won both starts back from a spell including an easy win last start on the Heavy. He's likely to get conditions to suit again and this trip should be ideal. He looms as a danger from a forward position in the run. TEXCEL (4) was a good winner in town two starts ago when well in the market before a close up effort last start in a harder race. He has the form to take this out. HELMITON (7) stuck to his task well last start over the course and distance and it would be no surprise to see him go close here. Keep safe. MARK THE HORSE (8) will make his own luck on speed and is likely to get conditions to suit. Include in the exotics from a forward position in the run.
At the latest run won by 1.5 len at Werribee 3yo+ (Bm58) April 22 over 1420m in soft going defeating Hillcrest Moses with 60kg at $17. The race before that began awkwardly and overraced early, middle stages; second last of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 8 over 1500m, 6 len behind Baglioni with 59kg at $21. Progressing nicely through his grades and although this is tougher isn't without a chance again.

Runaway winner last start when down in grade. Can go on with it here.

Claiming maiden on debut; won by a head at Stawell 3yo Mdn April 17 over 1300m defeating Belle Et Riche with 58kg at $17. Impressed on debut when winning narrowly with the runner up having won since. This is tougher but is one for the muliples.

Second run from a spell 6th of 12 at Cranbourne 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 22 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Hinto Blue with 58kg at $6. Is ready to show her best third up but doesn't win out of turn. Take on trust.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Matamata 3yo+ Mdn March 30 over 1600m defeating Belle Of The Ball with 59kg at $10. The start before that 9th of 11 at Pukekohe 3yo Mdn on February 23 over 1600m, 8 len behind Ruach with 57.5kg at $4.50. Creates interest making his local debut. New Zealand form is encouraging and any market moves could prove significant.

Tricky affair. NARRATED (5) is a very consistent horse having only missed a place once in eleven starts to date. He ran out an easy winner over this trip when first up last campaign, handles rain affected going and is easy to like with natural improvement. IMPROVIDENT (3) was a runaway winner in easier grade last start having broken his Maiden over the course and trip two starts ago when in the market. He's progressing nicely and looms as a danger from a forward position in the run. SABRE PRINCESS (14) just missed over the course and distance when resuming last time in before a close up effort at Flemington on Oaks day. She has good ability on her day and another forward showing fresh can be expected. RICHTER (9) stuck to his task well on speed last start and a repeat effort will see him in the finish again here. He appeals each way. BRAVE STAR (1) is racing well and another win isn't far away approaching peak fitness fourth up.
Most recently 5th of 10 at Caulfield Vgold Heath on April 23 over 2000m, 9 len behind Grandslam with 57kg at $21. The race before that wide near 1000m and held up several times; 4th of 9 at Stawell Stawell Cup on April 17 over 2000m, 2 len behind Namakwa carrying 55kg at $6.50. Veteran galloper who rarely runs a bad race at the track. In the mix.

At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Mildura 3yo+ (Bm64) April 26 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Crystal Dynasty with 60.5kg at $5.50.

Fitter third up and will make his own luck on speed but likely to find these too sharp.

The run before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ (Bm70) April 6 over 2100m defeating Shultzy with 54.5kg at $5.50. Excels at the track and appeals strongly each way.

Form hard to fault. Resumes off a 38 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.75 len at Kyneton 3yo+ Mdn March 31 over 1887m defeating Irving Again carrying 59kg at $2.60.

Competitive race. UNIQUELY (12) has only missed a place once at the course including two wins over the track and trip. She handles the sting out and although she was no match for Grandslam last start that form reads well for this. Look for her to bounce back. NAMAKWA (2) is a talented type over a middle distance and returned to the winner's circle last start with a narrow win in the Stawell Cup. He can go on with it here approaching peak fitness fourth up. TARAMANSOUR (1) was Group 3 placed last Spring and is ready to show his best third up having won both attempts following that pattern in the past. He'll be hard to beat if the track isn't too wet. IRISH BUTTERFLY (6) looks ready to win back onto the bigger track and with give in the ground. Back each way. REDJINA (7) has found his best form running out an easy winner last start which followed a close up effort in a strong form race behind Pont Nepean. He looks value in early markets.
Resuming after six-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign raced wide without cover; sixth of 8 at Wodonga 3yo+ (Bm64) October 17 over 1400m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Yanacocha with 61.5kg at $4.30.

Resumes after six months. Finished off last preparation held up near 300m; seventh of 11 at Mornington (Bm64) October 31 over 1200m, 4 len behind Starlight Scope carrying 60kg at $26. Previous preparation first-up won by a nose Swan Hill 3yo+ (Bm70) August 22 over 1200m defeating My Divas carrying 56.5kg at $5. Resumes with the Blinkers on but a place preferred in this lineup.

A winning chance fresh.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation by 0.5 len (shifted in near 800m; rider told to use more care) Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn October 14 over 1200m slow track defeating Magnetic Jewel carrying 57kg at $9. Previously first up; began awkwardly; second last of 10 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn September 10 over 1200m, 6 len behind Playing It Safe carrying 58kg at $6.50. Ended last campaign on a winning note but likely to find a few of these too sharp first up.

Second-up. First-up after five months came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Kerang (Bm64) on April 16 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Jabali Ridge carrying 56.5kg at $21. Previously second-up wide throughout; 11th of 13 at Swan Hill 3yo+ (Bm78) on September 10 over 1200m, 8 len behind Rainbiel carrying 52kg at $101. Fitter second up but prefer in something easier.

Third-up today. First-up held up on straightening; ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Bendigo Mdn Plate on March 11 over 1100m, neck behind Hayley with 57kg at $2.40. Second-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Echuca 3yo F Mdn April 10 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Martha Lavinia with 57kg at $1.90. Progressing nicely and appeals each way from a forward position in the run.

Second run back. First-up after nine months difficult to load and ordered to trial; ran last of 10 at Kilmore 3yo+ (Bm58) on April 7 over 1200m, 11 len behind Jack Of It carrying 62.5kg at $31. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Rockhampton Plate (C4) on January 29 2021 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Hey Pal with 56kg at $4.30. Prefer to see again off lacklustre first up effort.

Last start held up in straight; second last of 9 at Penola Hcp (54) on April 17 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Bunumburt with 54.5kg at $12. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 (pre race incident; passed fit at barrier; rider told to use more vigour) at this track 3yo+ (Bm64) on April 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Kootara carrying 52kg at $151. This looks too tough.

CRACKHORN (4) is progressing nicely having won two on end impressively with a good gap to third on each occasion prior to a close up effort in town last start when in the market. A wide gate may not be a disadvantage by this stage of the day and he looks hard to beat on his home track. YELDARB (1) is well in after the claim in this grade and be forgiven for last start when things didn't go his way. He loves the sting out of the ground and looks value in early markets. FIRST MATE (2) first up is a progressive type who wasn't beaten far behind the talented Typhoon Harmony when resuming last time in. He has a win over the course and distance to his name and it would be no surprise to see him go close. YARRA BOY (12) is talented on his day and warrants plenty of respect fresh. IS THIS LOVE (14) is lightly raced and progressing well having notched a deserves win last start. She can build on that here. Keep safe.
