TYPHOON MOON (10) was just gunned down in the shadows first-up improved and then had no luck well-supported at Geelong. Fitter again and can come hard over the longer sprint. ZOUNILE (11) did a big job to just miss at Pakenham on debut after settling rearward. Draws the outside but will go close with average luck. PARAFIELD GARDENS (9) is an improver who will get the run of the race. She has more to offer and can place at least. KLATTEN (8) will improve at this trip and looks next best.
Three-year-old gelding (All Too Hard - Street Games) has trialled on two occasions leading into today's race. Last trial eighth at Moe in a 1000m trial on November 23. Hard to have in this line up.

Draws the inside and should take beating.

Tricky and the race-day betting will be instructive. MAGIC SOUND (3) debuts off a low gate for a sharp yard with John Allen a key jockey booking. The Sebring filly will be well-prepared and the market should tell if she's up to winning. IMMINENT RISK (2) is fit and has just missed a couple of times. He can race handier today and gets anther chance. ANTIPODES (8) is in a top barn and has also been racing solidly expect him to use the rail and make the finish again. SKINNY DIP (6) showed enough on debut to include with the extra fitness and experience.
Second run back. First-up after three months disappointed for a run near 100m and not fully tested; got back early 7th of 11 at Bendigo 3yof Mdn on November 25 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Viviane with 57kg at $31. Previously second-up raced wide without cover and tactics queried; with blinkers first time; 2nd of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn Plate on July 10 over 1000m, neck behind Duty Dynasty with 53kg at $5.50. Solid each-way hope.

THE GLOBE (12) has missed a whisker her last two and is ready to salute for a top barn. Just needs an ounce of luck pushing forward from the sticky gate. GRANNY'S REWARD (4) is also in good hands and resumes off a near-win at Sale. Is sure to have come on and Nolen's booking suggests they mean business. JEZOULENKO (6) is quick and has impressed both starts. Fitter now and is a key hope using the low gate. SISTER VIANNEY (11) looked in need of the first-up outing. Brought strong figures to that and will be much better today. Needs a good ride from an outside gate.
Resuming today after a ten months break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 12 at Pakenham 3yo+ Mdn February 11 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Speed Cube carrying 59kg at $5. First up last campaign coughing and lame; ran last of 10 at Moonee Valley Vg Carat January 22 over 1200m, 8 len behind Yulong Command carrying 57kg at $11. Definite winning hope.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old mare by Stratum out of Trilingual. Trialled a while ago when out of the placings over 1000m at Wagga May 29. Likely to struggle in this company.

Third race start today. At debut, rolled along in front before being edged out with blinkers first time; 3rd of 8 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn on November 16 over 1170m, slow going 3.5 len behind Grey Whisper carrying 57.5kg at $21. Last start struck interference at start and raced three wide; 5th of 12 at Yarra Valley 3yo+ F&M Mdn on November 27 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Cantina with 58kg at $31. A top-three finish would surprise.

AMALFI SPRITZ (1) goes fresh and just-missed when last seen at Pakenham 302 days ago. Despite the time away he can come back to racing improved and look to the betting to confirm that. ATTRACTABLE (7) has a wide gate but showed plenty just missing at Cranbourne prior to spelling. Nolen riding suggests the well-bred gelding is pleasing. KEEP ON FIGHTING (4) was well out of the market first-up and didn't have a lot of luck. He's up to this at best and sharp improvement is likely. Draws for the run of the race. YONCE (12) debuts for the premier barn with John Allen aboard. He will be well prepared but has to manage the outside barrier.
Resuming today after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation by 1.75 len (held up near 300m; laid out near 200m) Bairnsdale Mdn May 2 over 1000m defeating Tiger Mum with 59.5kg at $6.50. First up last campaign fifth of 8 at Cranbourne 4yo+ Mdn April 16 over 1000m, soft track; 2 len behind Ivy Eff with 59.5kg at $3.50. Expected to prove hard to toss.

Competitive. SAYUMI (5) resumes and brings good figures from stronger races. The fresh form is sharp and expect her to be ready to go and take beating. MAXIMUM VELOCITY (1) resumes off a comfortable Maiden win. Will have come on and will box-seat from the rail. Has top weight but is capable of taking the next step. SUNBURNT (6) did a tidy job first-up placing from the back for the new barn. Mott replaces the apprentice and fitter she's in the mix. SUN SAMURAI (3) is also worth a look.

FABIAN'S SPIRIT (2) has missed a whisker the last two and finds the right race. Draws for a soft run and John Allen is a key jockey switch. Hard to roll. LEICA SECONDCHANCE (9) won the Maiden first-up off a long break and then improved again placing at Kyneton on a heavy surface. The blinkers go on again and Bates' booking is a plus. Fitter and now surprise is she bounces. ZAZSTER (8) was good finding one better here this trip and then was plain after. Has the blinkers applied first time and he can make the finish with a good ride. THEMAGICNEVERENDS (4) followed the Maiden win with a solid effort. Peaks now but is also disadvantaged by an awkward gate.

RESOLUTIONS (5) was beaten a nose here and then went to the middle distance and won this grade. Races handy and keeps improving. Gets the nod. SIR PETER (4) made sharp improvement beaten 1L at Warrnambool over 1700m. He will likely control the race and the step up in trip suits. IRISH PARDON (8) placed again missing a half-length at Bendigo over this trip. He draws for the run of the race and will go close again. COSTA MAYA (11) was must better the latest and Linda sticks. In the mix.

FRENCH MOON (3) will race over further and didn't have much luck resuming at Sandown. He sticks at the 1400m but has plenty up the sleeve and John Allen sticking is a plus. BLACK PENN (2) resumed in good against the above and he has also has strong figures over longer trips. Not sure the rail will suit but he should go close. ZEITAKUNA (9) is in the State's premier barn and impressed winning the Maiden on debut heavily-bet. Linda takes over today and will run him along. Fitter and no surprise if he takes the next step. MARCOLT (4) resumes in easier grade and is also up to this. He needs longer but has placed the only fresh outing and keep safe.
