Was as a despised roughie at debut, began awkwardly; ran last of 12 at Sale 2yo+ Mdn on May 25 over 1200m, 18 len behind Bank Maur carrying 57.5kg at $201. Needs to do a lot more than she did on debut.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, commenced slowly (4l) and warning - barrier manners; got back early 8th of 11 at Geelong 3yo Mdn on April 29 over 1235m, 10 len behind Pelosi carrying 58kg at $101.

Second-up. First start ran last of 9 (raced erratically; wide during race; hung in during race) at Kyneton 3yo F Mdn on November 29 over 1450m, 8 len behind Seonee carrying 57kg at $41. Returned from break slowly away; 7th of 10 at Sale 2yo+ Mdn on May 25 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Siamese carrying 57.5kg at $61. Fitter but must improve sharply.

MY BRILLIANT CHOIX (11) made it seven minor placings from 12 starts when she led and just failed to hold on last start over a similar trip to this at Warracknabeal. That was just the second run since switching to Maher/Eustace and came after a seven-week let-up. Strips fitter and ready to break through. FIELDS OF GRACE (8) returned from an 11-week layoff with an eye-catching second last time out over 1400m at Pakenham, coming from last on the bend in the small field. Lightly-raced filly who will have no bother getting the mile. DAWN COUNTY (2) recorded a seventh minor prize in ten appearances when he led but found a couple better over 1400m at Ballarat last Sunday. Needs to settle a bit better to get a strong mile but if he can dictate will be tough to catch. HURLEY'S HERO (4) did a good job to grab second on debut last start over 1500m at Cranbourne. Plenty of improvement to come. LONGIFT (9) is very fit and shouldn't be far away.
At debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track 2yo+ Mdn on May 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Wolf Rein carrying 59.5kg at $6. Can build upon that bright start to his career.

Resuming after five-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation failed to handle going; sixth of 8 at this track 3yo+ F&M Mdn December 17 over 1100m, 4 len behind Shiriki with 56.5kg at $4. When resuming last campaign keen; third in a small field at Kilmore 3yo Mdn October 29 over 1112m, soft track; 0.7 len behind Gorgeous Prophet with 56kg at $3.50. Can return in winning form.

Well found in early betting. Big watch advised.

This will test.

Second run back. First-up after two months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Mornington 3yo Mdn on May 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Inundation with 58kg at $41. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Mornington 3yo Mdn Plate on December 14 over 1200m, 5 len behind Attractable with 56.5kg at $101. Needs more time.

BRUT STAR (1) made it three minor placings in a row last start when he stoked up late and was beaten under 2 lengths over 1469m at Kyneton. Given a little freshen-up since that run four weeks ago. Needs luck from a wide gate but in a very tricky maiden he has the right credentials. Stablemate INDY ROSE WARRIOR (9) is fitter for two runs back from a spell. Led but tired late and missed the placings most recently over this distance at Pakenham. Beaten just 1.7 lengths third up last prep over this trip at Moonee Valley which is great form for a race of this quality. LADY VUITTON (10) disappointed at Kilmore last time out. Perhaps a better form reference is her very close second over this course and distance when resuming two starts back. CARLITO BRIGANTE (2) battled on evenly for third on debut here at this trip last start. Has plenty of scope for improvement. GOLDEN RIDGE (7) resumes. Went close first-up last prep over a slightly shorter trip. Must be respected.
Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, began awkwardly and checked early on; 2nd of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn on April 22 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Tinge carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Second-up 4th of 10 at Pakenham 4yo+ Mdn Plate on May 12 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Wewanda carrying 59.5kg at $2.40. Should be right in the finish.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Headwater out of Happy Laughing AUD $ 60,000 (Inglis 2019 Great Southern Sale) purchase. Trialled recently and finished eighth at Traralgon over 1100m. Wait and see him under race conditions.

Going well. At the latest run keen; 4th of 7 at Ballarat 3yo F Mdn on May 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Simply Venus carrying 55kg at $11.

Capable of a lot better.

When resuming last campaign hampered at start; second last of 12 at Tatura 3yo+ Mdn on September 18 over 1000m, on a slow track; 12 len behind First Point carrying 57.5kg at $51. This looks too tough.

BAY THIRTEEN (9) was in the market on debut last start and ran up to expectations, travelling on the speed and battling on well for second over 1000m at Cranbourne. Will take a lot from that run and with luck from the wide alley is all set to open her account. ALISON ROAD (1) is a progressive four-year-old who followed a good second on debut at Cranbourne with a desperately close fourth over 1200m at Pakenham last time after leading into the lane. Another with strong claims if things go right from a sticky gate. HEYWOOD (12) has a well-backed favourite on debut in December at Yarra Valley but the money went out the window at the start when he reared and dislodged the rider. In an astute yard so expect him to be tuned up to make amends. CHARMING DI (10) worked home nicely when a distant third on debut last start. Will appreciate a longer trip today so watch for her late. TOKELAU DRIFT (3) is a likely improver second-up.
Last start faded in the straight with blinkers first time; 5th of 8 at Ballarat 2yo+ (Bm64) on May 18 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Rebellious Belle with 58kg at $31. The start before that 7th of 9 at Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm58) on May 1 over 1100m, in the wet; 8 len behind Rockcliff carrying 63kg at $6. Nicely placed to make amends.

OXLEY JACK (2) was shuffled back through the field mid-race then warmed up late to be beaten just over a length over 1100m at Echuca last start. Has won two races and both came at this stage of the prep so he will be spot-on for this assignment. EXPRESS MASTER (1) led but couldn't go on against better opposition over 1200m at Ballarat last time. Back to his right trip and in this company will play a big role. STEEL CHOICE (3) led but felt the pinch in the final stages when midfield over 1100m at Wangaratta a fortnight ago. Best form comes at 1000m so he should offer more resistance today. LING LING (5) sprinted to the lead at the furlong only to be nailed late when resuming over this trip at Werribee recently. Freshened up and from a nice gate is a genuine contender. DOCTOR COTO (4) might surprise and turn some average recent results around coming off a six-week let-up.
Third-up today. Resuming raced wide without cover; second last of 10 at Sale 2yo+ (Bm64) on May 10 over 1110m, 8 len behind Deep Blast with 59kg at $6.

MAKE AN EFFORT (3) was ridden closer to the speed last start and improved sharply to finish a close second over this distance at Bairnsdale. Kept fresh since that run five weeks ago and a repeat performance can see her take this out. ALMIGHTY RISING (1) has been poor in both runs this prep, the latest nine days ago over 1200m at Cranbourne when he led but folded up badly. Drops in grade and strips fitter. Can improve sharply. The speedy MAIORI (11) returns from a 16-week break. Best effort last prep was a game second over this trip at Warrnambool after leading. Can give a bold sight while fresh. I AM WAR (2) is a useful sprinter returning after a four-month break. Opened the last campaign with a tough all-the-way win over 1140m at Geelong. Sure to give a great sight out of the inside alley. RICH VELVET (9) has not raced for eight weeks. In the money at the last couple when coming off the same layoff so the stable has found the key. Worth considering.

At the latest run scored a big 4 len win at this track 2yo+ Mdn May 17 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Vankukla with 57.5kg at $3.30. Before that 5th of 8 at Cranbourne 2yo+ Mdn on May 6 over 1300m, slow going 4 len behind Mere Fancy with 57.5kg at $5.50. Draws a nice alley and rates highly.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after three months eased back early on 7th of 9 at Mornington 3yo+ E&G Mdn on April 28 over 1200m, 13 len behind Outback Action with 59.5kg at $81. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn on January 2 over 1400m, 6 len behind Matron Bullwinkel carrying 58kg at $61. Unlikely to threaten.

WOLF REIN (8) took 13 runs to break the maiden but did so emphatically last start, leading from the outset and putting 4 lengths on her rivals over this course and distance. Not a great deal of depth to this race so she can get the job done again. NO NEW TRICKS (6) made late ground deep on the track to finish fourth when resuming last time out over 1100m at Kilmore. Not a prolific winner but from the inside gate with added fitness he can test this field. LUV A DUCK (1) appreciated the step up in trip when second-up recently, battling on well for third over today's journey at Pakenham synthetic. Will race on the speed and should give backers a great sight. GEM EDITION (11) was too bad to be true at Pakenham last start. The couple of runs before that were solid so give her another chance. SACRED KIWI (2) could surprise at odds after a 45-day let-up.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming raced wide without cover; ran last of 10 at Sale 2yo+ (Bm64) on May 10 over 1110m, 11 len behind Deep Blast with 58.5kg at $61. Second run from a spell keen; 4th of 7 at Pakenham Synthetic 2yo+ (Bm64) on May 26 over 1200m, 3 len behind Lumber Punk with 57.5kg at $13. This race is well within his grasp.

When resuming last campaign blundered at start; second last of 9 at Geelong 3yo+ F&M (Bm64) January 6 over 1218m, 3.5 len behind Queen Of Sass with 58kg at $41. Not out of this.

Worth another chance.

THE GREAT BRATSKI (5) has been about the money in her three runs this prep. Parked outside the leader and tried hard but found the winner too good last start over 1300m at Cranbourne. Down in class today and Aaron Lynch, who has a fine record on the six-year-old, is back aboard. Ready to win. PANAGSAMA (1) put a poor first-up effort behind him recently when a solid fourth over this trip on the Pakenham synthetic. Down in grade and ready to peak third-up so he makes plenty of appeal. OUR TIGERSUN (3) has pretty plain first up over today's distance at Pakenham last start. Won his only race over this course and distance. Look for a better effort today. CAT D'ORO (2) will be better for this hitout but is a top-four contender at his first run in ten weeks. RIVERDANCE LAD (4) is another one resuming with each-way claims in an open race.
At the latest run keen; ran last of 13 at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) on May 25 over 2200m, 11 len behind Witsabouthim carrying 57kg at $51. The run before that won by 1.5 len at this track 2yo+ Mdn May 17 over 2050m in soft going defeating The Kings Gospel carrying 59.5kg at $5. Didn’t fire last start but is capable of better.

The start before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a nose at Cranbourne 3yo+ Mdn April 8 over 2025m defeating Maktastic with 59.5kg at $7. Capable of a big finish.

LUNA TOO (3) had a five-week let-up following a maiden win two runs ago and again performed well at this sort of trip, charging home late to get up for second in this grade at Kilmore. Drops 2 kgs under today's scale. Looks very hard to hold out. IMA DOZER (5) continues to improve at each appearance this prep. Was trapped wide for the latter part of the race but kept finding only to be edged out at the end of 2439m here last time. Won his only race over today's distance. Rock-hard fit and ready to break through. ROYELLE (8) returns after a 24-week break. Opened last prep with a close third over the mile at Cranbourne. Useful stayer who can feature despite the layoff. TRAIL BLAZER (6) was poor at Sale last time after a strong second over 2000m at Kilmore the run before. Worth another chance. UNDERSTATED (17) is still a maiden but his recent second in a Kilmore maiden rated highly so he is probably up to this.
Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last in a small field at Sale 3yo+ (Bm64) December 19 over 1732m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Misterzee with 57kg at $4.80.

EIDOLON (1) is progressing nicely this prep. Stalked the leader then took over on the bend only to be overwhelmed late and finish fourth at the latest run over this distance at Warracknabeal. That run should top him off perfectly. WITHOUT EXCUSE (11) led on settling then kicked away and never looked in doubt last time out over 1500m at Mornington. Has been in fine form this campaign and with the same weight today is a strong contender. FLYING BASIL (2) has mixed picnic and TAB racing successfully of late with four wins from the past five outings. Was far too strong late when a comfortable winner last time over this course and distance in a Class 2. Big jump in the weights but can win again. MR POCKET (8) is a chance if he can find the form that saw him close hard and finish runner-up in a similar race here two runs back. NINYO (9) just missed when fresh from a 42-day layoff over 1400m at Echuca last start. Will be hard to hold out over this more suitable trip.
