Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on December 9 over 1000m, nose behind Strapparsi with 58kg at $26. Second-up held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Pakenham 3Ycg-Mdn on January 12 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Eight Decades with 58kg at $17. Can improve enough to take this out.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when with blinkers first time, 8th of 10 at Flemington 2Y-Swp on May 14 over 1100m, slow going 10 len behind Doull with 57kg at $9. Don't dismiss lightly.

Previously first up, fourth of 9 at Ballarat Synthetic 3Yf Mdn-Sw August 30 over 1100m, 7 len behind Running By carrying 57kg at $15. Doesn't appeal.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 13 at Wangaratta 3Y Mdn-Sw on December 22 over 1300m, 10 len behind Keefneedsafeed carrying 53kg at $61. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

First-starter by All Too Hard out of Elan Grenadine (AUD $ 60,000 (Inglis 2021 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale) purchase). Prefer to see him under race conditions.

At debut, with blinkers first time, 4th of 11 at Pakenham 3Ycg-Mdn on January 12 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Eight Decades carrying 58kg at $7.50. Plenty to build upon following his debut.

GRAYSONG (4) was well supported on debut ($1.85 fav) and showed good speed before condition gave out late when third over 1000m at Flemington on January 20. Should be better suited here and much fitter now with that run under his belt. Go close from the draw. STAR MAGIC (11) is close to her top now third up and drawn to stalk the speed. Ran on late when second over 1200m at Pakenham on January 19. No excuses tonight. DODI (15) did a fair job on debut when settled midfield before making ground late when fourth over 1200m at Pakenham on January 12. Would have improved sharply with the run and stable must always be kept safe. THE SWOOPER (7) resumes from a lengthy break and also gelded. Showed enough on debut when fourth to Jacquinot over 1200m at Caulfield on December 26, 2021. Had two solid jump outs under his belt for this and expecting a forward showing.
Dual acceptor. Going well. Last start came from midfield, 2nd of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3Y Bm70 on January 7 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Bistro with 57kg at $5.50. The run before that 2nd of 10 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on December 26 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Snapped carrying 54kg at $5.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second of 9 at Cranbourne 3Y Hcp November 12 over 1200m, 3 len behind Garza Blanca with 54kg at $1.70. Previous preparation first-up favourite, to post a big 4 len win. Geelong Mdn-Sw September 29 over 1147m slow track defeating Cheval Chic carrying 55kg at $1.80. Sure to run well first-up.

At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Moe Bm64 January 15 over 1200m defeating The Brill Building with 55kg at $19. The run before that 5th of 8 at Cranbourne Bm64 on December 29 over 1300m, 6 len behind Calico Jack carrying 55.5kg at $17. Needs to lift.

Last start won by a long-neck at Gawler Bm60 January 21 over 1100m defeating Storm Voyager carrying 54.5kg at $13. Before that ran last of 8 at Stony Creek Bm58 on January 3 over 1000m, 7 len behind Mir carrying 58kg at $11. 1.5kg claim will not be enough.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut, favourite, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily, won by 2 len at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw January 8 over 1000m defeating Zephyrious carrying 56kg at $2.10. Improvement likely.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Geelong 3Yf Mdn-Sw on December 16 over 1109m, neck behind Doublern carrying 57kg at $4.50. Last start won by 1.5 len at Geelong 3Y Mdn-Sw January 13 over 1143m defeating Jessup carrying 56kg at $3.50. Genuine contender who finds a suitable race.

GREECE (2) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and stable hold her in high regard. Had no luck in the run when boxed in on the fence before getting out late to run second over 1200m at Cranbourne on November 12. Has won first up and recent jump out was solid. Destined for better things. CAPITAL THEATRE (1) won his maiden four starts back and due for a change of luck after finishing in the minor money at his last three outings. At his top now and likely to sit off them here from the gate and power late. SCUDERIA (6) went one better at second start when led throughout for a sound 1143m maiden win at Geelong on January 13. Allen sticks and figures out of her win were very solid. Keep safe. ROCK DIAMOND (5) a stablemate to GREECE, made her debut with a slick 2 len win over 1000m at Warrnambool on January 8. This much tougher but looks to have plenty of upside. Don't underestimate.
Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on, won by 0.5 len at this track F&M Bm70 January 21 over 1000m defeating Who Shot Suzy carrying 58kg at $9. Before that won by a neck at Stawell Bm58 January 6 over 1100m defeating True Nobility with 60kg at $3.80. One of the chief contenders.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 9 at this track F&M Bm70 on January 21 over 1000m, 0.7 len behind Tillotson carrying 57kg at $12. The race before that won by 2.25 len at Mornington F&M Bm64 December 28 over 1000m defeating Discerning with 61kg at $9.50. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.

Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Hamilton Bm58 on January 17 over 1100m, 2 len behind True Nobility with 61.5kg at $16. 3kg claim will not be enough.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 49 days. Resuming eased back early on 5th of 7 at Cranbourne F&M Bm70 on November 25 over 1000m, 6 len behind Cotel with 57.5kg at $7. Second run from a spell eased back early on 6th of 10 at this track Bm70 on December 16 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Boss Lady Rocks with 55kg at $26. Hard to make much of a case.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up favourite, scored a big 5 len win at Yarra Valley Bm58 January 10 over 1000m defeating Tom The Star with 57.5kg at $2.90. Second run from a spell did the work up front then tired ran last of 8 at Mornington Bm64 on January 22 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Tax Free Prophet carrying 57kg at $2.50. A better showing is expected.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of eight months. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic Bm64 June 7 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Mimosas carrying 57.5kg at $4.30. First up last campaign struck interference at start, third of 11 at Cranbourne Bm64 May 20 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Coolshot carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Best form gives her an each-way hope while fresh.

Most recently 7th of 9 at this track F&M Bm70 on January 21 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Tillotson carrying 54kg at $7. Before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track F&M Bm64 on December 9 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Extreme Step with 57.5kg at $8.50. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

Resumes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at Mornington F&M Bm64 on December 28 over 1000m, 5 len behind Jillette carrying 55.5kg at $26. The start before that 8th of 10 at this track Bm64 on December 16 over 955m, 4 len behind Moon And Back with 55kg at $26. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

The start before that failed to make an impression, 9th of 12 at Moe F&M Bm58 on December 9 over 1100m, 7 len behind Star Mistress carrying 52kg at $21. Tricky assignment.

JILLETTE (2) is holding her form well and showed good early speed at latest when a narrow fourth over 1000m at this track on January 21. Looks well in with the claim and can sit off then from the gate and pounce late. BERRY BUBBLY (7) brings her best form over this track and trip and pay to forgive latest after having no luck from the wide gate when seventh over 1000m on January 21. Gets in light with the claim and good gate brings her right into calculations. TILLOTSON (1) is chasing her third straight win tonight and jumps 3kg in weight after scoring a dominant 0.5 len win over 1000m at this track on January 21. Hard fit and look for her late. FOXICON (6) is a lightly raced mare from the Moody camp returning from a lengthy break. Failed to make an impression when sixth over 1100m at Pakenham Synthetic on June 7. Looks forward with two jump outs under her belt and should be primed for this.
Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Sunshine Coast Cl5 October 2 over 1000m, on heavy track, a neck behind Keeta carrying 60.5kg at $3. When resuming last campaign fifth of 13 at Warrnambool Bm70 May 4 over 1000m, on heavy track, 3.5 len behind Never Say Nay with 61kg at $5.50. Sure to run well first-up.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Cranbourne Bm64 on December 23 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Joseylin carrying 62.5kg at $2.30. The run before that favourite, won by 3 len at this track Bm64 December 2 over 955m defeating Ojosan carrying 60kg at $3.50. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.

MR FRENCH (1) scored two runs back over 2400m at Bendigo then pay to forget latest when up in grade and had to work hard from the gate when a plodding sixth over 3000m at this track on December 16. Stockdale sticks and looks much better placed back to the 2500m. Go close. VADABOY (9) is desperately close to a win after running a minor placing again when second over 2400m at Sandown-Hillside on January 18. A repeat of latest showing puts him right in the finish. HANDFUL (11) wound up strongly late when back in grade for a fighting second over 2460m at Mornington on January 22. Backs up quickly and represents good each-way value. MANCO MAN (5) has come back well this time in and stable in form. Scored two back at Mornington then raced below expectations when sixth over 2400m at Sandown-Hillside on January 18. No shock to see him figure prominently.

CHOQUANT (2) has come back well and scored an impressive maiden win third up over 1600m at Cranbourne on January 13. Ethan Brown sticks and looks to have a ton of upside. Hard to hold out. NEW LEVEL (3) showed ability on debut when a solid winner over 1200m at Terang on January 2. Far from disgraced at latest when raced on the speed for a gritty fourth over 1400m at Sandown-Hillside on January 18. Wide gate no help but gives the indication this trip will suit. Expected to figure prominently. Nicely placed to make amends. DIAMOND MODEL (8) was prominent throughout when resumed with a tenacious second over 1400m at Pakenham on January 19. Fitter now and this trip suits. Must be kept safe. LAGGAN (4) is a staying bred type who showed a good turn of foot at start two when scoring his maiden win over 1400m at Hamilton on January 17.

ACQUIESCENT (9) is a promising Fiorente gelding from the Maher/Eustace yard who returned with a dominant 2 len win after showing early speed from the outside gate over 1700m at Warrnambool on January 8. Allen sticks and should be able to control the tempo from the inside gate. Can win again. FREEDOM ESCAPE (5) is due for a change of luck after running a string of minor placings of late. Has placed this track and trip and brings some of the strongest figures to the race. Look for him motoring late. INORDINATE (6) has found form at his last three outings including latest 0.75 len win over 1950m at Yarra Valley on January 10. Looks up to this and draws the inside gate again. Don't underestimate. CUFFE'S GRANGE (3) has been in the placings at his last two appearances and holding his form well. Will need luck from the draw but racing too well to dismiss.

ELITE ICON (1) is at his top now and indicated a win was close after racing on the speed with the 60kg when third last start over 1100m at Sandown-Hillside on January 11. Has excellent starts this track and trip and should be able to get in with cover from the draw. Hard to beat. HOLYMANZ (10) resumes after running a creditable seventh in the Sandown Guineas 1600m Grp 2 at Caulfield on November 26. Winkers come off for return and rates highly here fresh after two strong jump outs. Big watch. TRUE NOBILITY (7) has returned in good shape this preparation and looked good second up when a soft winner over 1100m at Hamilton on January 17. Drops in weight and gets every chance to run the 1200m out tonight. SHE'S BOOMING (12) saves her best for this track and trip and will relish the solid tempo. Oliver sticks and draws to stalk the speed.
