Second run from a spell 3rd of 9 at this track 3yo+ F&M (Bm70) on November 12 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Brownie with 55kg at $2.50. Capable of a strong showing.

She is resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo F Hcp June 16 over 1300m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Messignadi with 58.5kg at $21. At her first start won by a nose (held up near turn; shifted out near 250m; rider charged with careless riding) Moe 2yof Mdn May 18 over 1008m on heavy track defeating In Her Stride with 57kg at $6.50.

LEMPICKA (3) belted the Maidens on debut and then went to town just pipped this grade. Races forward and the less spacious circuit shouldn't bother. He can improve again and bounce back. SISTINE EXPLORER (7) resumed improved winning the Ballarat Maiden and then was plainer running into a distant place here in better class racing a well-bet favourite. Fitter and the extra 200m will suit. Positive stable-striker John Allen goes on. FOR REAL LIFE (2) has a similar profile and will build on the nose defeat at Geelong. DANNY'S ST DARCI (1) did a big job winning this grade (deserved) from the back in the country off a provincial near miss. He'll use the low gate today and is in the mix.
Third-up today. First-up held up near 200m; 6th of 8 at Wangaratta 3yo+ Mdn on November 16 over 1170m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Grey Whisper carrying 59.5kg at $6.50.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 4th of 13 at Kilmore 3yo+ Mdn on November 21 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Jack Of It with 57.5kg at $101. Fair effort on debut but may need more racing.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last campaign third in a small field (began awkwardly; keen; one paced) at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn April 30 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Sinead with 56kg at $1.90. On debut slowly away; second of 8 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn April 22 over 1200m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Charles The Great with 56kg at $3.80. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Competitive. SAVONIA (11) impressed winning at Ballarat on debut rating strongly and was immediately tipped out. Resumes with Oliver a key jockey booking. Has been away a while but expect her to be further improved and she has the speed to clear the wide gate. ENDLESSLY (6) was just lipped out resuming and has more up the sleeve. Has the blinkers first time and fitter just needs a good ride to go close. INDY ROSE WARRIOR (10) led here first-up of a long break for the new barn and was just nudged out. She will push forward again and won't have to improve much to threaten again. VICTORY BAY (4) debuts off a trial for a sharp barn with stable favourite Nolen sticking. The late betting will tell with him.
On a three run winning streak. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start favourite; won by a head at Morphettville (Bm68) October 30 over 1600m defeating Biarchi with 58.5kg at $2.40. The start before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Ballarat 3yo+ F&M (Bm64) October 21 over 1400m defeating Sabre Princess carrying 58.5kg at $10. Will hit the line hard.

A number of chances. WANALIRRI (3) has raced well at Group level and can show more reaching peak fitness in easier grade. Draws handy and Lane goes on and that's a lead. Ran his best race here at the mile beaten 2.1L in the Alexandra Stakes. OCEAN'S THIRTEEN (2) has been plain the last two but will be better up again to the mile and the back-form is strong. Finds easier grade with a 2kg claim and will ride the speed from the low gate. Has had one start here for one win. Hard to risk the barn. MOSTLY SUNNY (7) peaks and led here this trip the latest beaten 2L as favourite. Will make short work of the sticky gate and Prebble replaces the apprentice. RIOTOUS MISCHIEF (1) is back from Adelaide where he delivered the hat-trick. Rates well and keeps improving.
Useful gelding. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. At the latest run slowly away and held up near 300m; 8th of 15 at Flemington in the LR Mss Security on November 2 over 1200m, 5 len behind Quantico with 54.5kg at $51. The race before that came from midfield and won by a head at this track (Bm80) October 22 over 1200m defeating The Gauch with 56.5kg at $13. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Previous preparation first-up won by 0.8 len Pakenham Synthetic (Bm64) June 8 over 1100m defeating Hit The Rim with 59kg at $4.30. Not without claims first-up.

At the latest run slowly away; 2nd of 8 at this track 3yo+ (Bm70) on November 12 over 955m, slow going 1.3 len behind Lady Solly carrying 58kg at $6. The race before that got back early 12th of 16 at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm80) on November 6 over 1100m, 4 len behind It'sourtime carrying 54kg at $21. Be tough to make an impression in this line-up.

Most recently slowly away; 4th of 9 at this track 3yo+ F&M (Bm70) on November 12 over 1000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Brownie carrying 58kg at $10. The race before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Kyneton 3yo+ F&M (Bm70) November 3 over 1206m in heavy going defeating Little Miss Gutsaa with 57.5kg at $5. Still likely to struggle after 1.5kg claim.

A good contest. RIVER TWAIN (2) didn't let down on the heavy track at Kyneton and then won the 70 at Kilmore from the front on the dry. He has more up the sleeve and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Will ride the speed and take beating. EXETER (1) missed a half-head here in an 80 before a luckless run at Flemington in Stakes grade. Keeps a top hoop and can bounce back reaching peak fitness. HOUSAY (4) is progressive and is back plenty in grade. Comfortably won the 84 before the spell and then resumed in a 90 as favourite beaten 2.2L without much luck. The rail is against but fitter he should go close. SIG POSITANO (3) deserved the second-up win this grade. Comes back 200m but is good enough and the barrier advantages.
Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last of 10 (eased down; rider concerned with action; lame) at Mornington (Bm78) March 20 over 1000m, 8 len behind Sartorial Splendor with 56.5kg at $8.50. When resuming last campaign second of 14 at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm78) December 19 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Sword Of Mercy carrying 56kg at $17. Looks up against it.

Previous preparation first-up won by 2.25 len Echuca (Bm78) March 7 over 1000m defeating Sham I Am carrying 56kg at $6.50. Might need the run.

Racing well. Most scored a big 3.5 len win at this track 3yo+ F&M (Bm70) November 12 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Kootara carrying 55kg at $6. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 11 at Morphettville 4yo+ M (Bm68) on October 16 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Hearty Lass carrying 57kg at $2.20. Can get the job done again.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Wagga Riverside Hcp (C3) on November 22 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Gave Me You with 57kg at $8.

At her first start won by 2 len Mornington 3yof Mdn Plate May 11 over 1000m slow track defeating Delusional carrying 57kg at $4.50. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Better than last start so she can improve.

A number of these have also accepted Saturday Pakenham. BROWNIE (3) is in the premier barn and has won three of her last four. She's a leader who belted them here the latest in this grade and Richards' claim take care of the weight lift. The one to beat again. WINSUM (5) resumes and is the best horse in the race. Up to this. Has been racing in stronger and flies fresh. Should get a soft run and expect him to feature if presented on-song. SEE YOU IN SPRING (8) didn't appreciate the wet track here the latest and had excuses the one before. Won at this level prior and will be in the finish with a return to that. PASSING TIME (7) and resumes seeking the hat-trick. Will have come on and Nolen will have her right in the van from the handy gate.
Second run back. First-up after five months bounded on jumping; 2nd in a small field at Hamilton 3yo+ (Bm64) on November 22 over 1209m, long-neck behind Yulong Knight carrying 62kg at $4.50. Previously second-up eased back early on 4th of 8 at Ararat 3yo+ Hcp (C1) on December 8 over 1200m, slow going 1.75 len behind Bekstar with 59kg at $21. Fitter and a winning hope.

Recent form sound. Last start won by 3 len at Mornington 3yo+ (Bm58) November 18 over 1500m defeating Achaeus with 63.5kg at $6.50. The start before that keen; 3rd of 12 at Moe 3yo+ (Bm58) on November 8 over 1628m, slow going 2.25 len behind Starspangled Baby carrying 63.5kg at $8. Won last start and is well-placed again.

STAY GOLD (6) ran his best race just beaten at Sandown third-up and it was a tough effort. Draws sticky but gets a top hoop for the apprentice and he will manage it. Peaks and has the figures to taker this out. SOARHI (11) won well on debut at Newcastle and then came south beaten 1.4L behind Thorondor at Sandown. Will be further improved and up in trip is a winning chance. SPANISH SNITZEL (1) resumed gelded and was a bit unlucky at Hamilton first-up just beaten. Three-back won a 70 at Bendigo this trip and that would have him right in it. PAINT ME RED (3) will use the low gate and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Won the 64 the latest and won't be far away.

Second run from a spell second last of 8 (raced below expectations; tactics queried; failed to respond to riding) at Horsham (Bm70) on October 17 over 1200m, 6 len behind Lowanna Magic carrying 58.5kg at $7. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.
Resumes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at Mornington (Bm64) on October 31 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Starlight Scope carrying 62kg at $11. The run before that failed to handle going; second last of 12 at Moe (Bm70) on October 15 over 1200m, on heavy track; 8 len behind The General carrying 59kg at $41. Be tough to make an impression in this line-up.

SAVANNAH CLOUD (9) has been busting to win and will be better for the first-up run (gelded) in stronger when he found Marabi much to good. Fitter now and she can go one better drawn for a soft run. BOLD MANNER (10) will be close to peak and forget the latest at Sandown when she was slow off and wide. Won this grade comfortably first-up so the form is there. Gets the winkers first time and is well in the mix. MARLION'S DREAM (3) made an impression the first campaign and belted the Maidens three-back on debut. He will have come on and has to be considered. LARIAT (11) is ready to win for the premier barn. The 3kg claim brings her right into it, but a wide gate cruels again.
Useful gelding. Last start slowly away; 3rd of 10 at this track 4yo+ (Bm70) on November 26 over 2040m, 1.4 len behind Rousseau carrying 57kg at $26. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 11 at Warrnambool 3yo+ (Bm64) on November 5 over 1700m, 4 len behind Swiss Hero carrying 62.5kg at $5.50. Working up to a win. Worth following.

MY DELIGHT (10) has been threatening in stronger grade and races at peak fitness. Gets a handy gate and the lift to the middle distance suits her. Looks the winner with Oliver sticking. RUNNING CLOUD (1) spiked his figures again beaten 1.4L here in better class. Came from back after a slow off and may have to settle off them again off a wide barrier. Keeps the 2kg claim and can be in the finish with average luck. OCEANS OF STANIMA (4) is a former Kiwi who didn't let down on the heavy track having his first outing for the Moody barn. He was well-in the market and has the ability. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and can make quick improvement at the middle distance. ANNUNCIATE (12) is a hurdler who's been good on the flat both runs in. He will push forward and fitter isn't without a chance.
