A two horse race on what we've seen. CASTEL TROSINO (1) was beaten 1L here on debut. Is likely to be just as good on a dryer track. In a top barn and fitter can break through over the longer trip. RECAP (7) is also in good hands and brings two heavy track placings. Rock hard fit and should see it right out. LORD OF PENNO (2) recorded a peak placing at 2000m before the spell. It's an ask resuming at this trip but he can't be entirely ruled out. TIME LUCAS (4) is in a strong barn and will be better for the debut run.

Competitive. MY LANCELOT (4) missed a nose here and then came back (third-up) as a 2-1F and was never in the picture. Prepared to overlook that. Draws to advantage and McDougall is re-united. HIGHLAND RAIDER (8) made quick improvement just missing here and will have come on. In the premier barn and Linda will position him forward. Feared. THE KHAN (6) was better the latest but needs to find a length or so to be winning. TRADEWORX (9) will be fitter again and won't be far away.

SOUTHERN CHILLI (9) will position forward and can win building on the lip defeat here on debut. In the premier barn and Linda goes on. LAUREUS (7) was beaten 3L on debut in the same contest. Was cruelled by the wide barrier and draws to rail today. McDougall goes on and is building a nice record with the Dabernig barn. COTE DES BAR (2) comes out of the same race beaten a half-length from the front. In the mix. TRAK CHILLER (10) showed enough on debut to consider. The low gate advantages.

TRUST RUSTY (4) was just nudged out on the synthetic as a 13-8F and will be better for it. Is ready to win for the potent Meech-Maher & Eustace linkage. STATE OF MAINE (10) brought strong relative form to resumption and looked in need of it. A dryer surface will be to her advantage and expect sharp improvement. Yendall will position her in the box seat. VERBOSITY (7) resumed at Murray Bridge with a 1.4L defeat and has more to offer. Has an awkward barrier but McDougall can manage that. BUOYANT (1) resumes gelded for the new barn. Ex-Sydney and is right up to this if presented on-song.

A better than average benchmark 58. BELLINI MISS (10) is going much better than the form-line suggests. She has been racing in stronger and hasn't been beaten far the last two. Will settle back but can come hard. JENNIVACI (4) missed a lip at Kilmore on debut bet 7-4 and was immediately spelled by the gun stable. Linda is likely to use the rail and on what we've seen plus natural improvement she should go close. CHAMPAGNE WITNESS (11) was tracking well before disappointing here the latest. Peaks and a chance to bounce with average luck in the run. ACCUSE (2) resumes and is Jennivaci's stablemate. Will race over further but is worth consideration.

A good contest. FOR ARI (1) has threatened the last two with the latest here on a good track. He will come over and ride the pace and gets another chance. MULGA LIL (3) will be fancied off the all the way win here. Raced favourite in that and the low gate advantages. STAR SMASH (5) missed a nose at Horsham as favourite and that also stacks up. Will get a soft run from the rail and it is also a winning chance. MISSILE BELLE (6) is in the mix building on the big Maiden win at St Arnaud.

ONIKA (6) resumed in town in stronger and then found his best beaten a whisker in the Ballarat 64. Will be better for that and is another strong winning chance for the Meech-Maher & Eustace linkage. RAGING MONKEY (3) won here this grade from the front and keeps getting better. Will push over and take pegging back. THUNDER PARK (8) found the above too good resuming as favourite but covered the others. Has an awkward gate but has more to five and is in the mix. TITANS (1) has had two starts back both in better class. Has a 4kg claim and will race handy. He's up to this and could be the surprise package.

Another good contest. GRASSMERE JEWEL (3) is speedy and seeks the hat-trick off comfortable wins. The latest was here and she goes wet and dry. Will be at top and can go on with it. SAVVY SOVEREIGN (6) resumes for the premier barn and has shown enough to say this is winnable if he's presented forward. They have decided not to claim and Linda will need to be at her best steering from the outside gate. MAHREZ (5) has switched to the Smith barn and has more to give in easier grade. Comes back to a sprint off a freshen and McDougall is a key jockey booking. Is certainly good enough and keep on-side. LADY HAMPTON (7) was straight back into it beaten a lip at Mornington. Fitter and can't be ruled out.
