Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when slowly away; made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside 2Yf Hcp on May 22 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Portray with 57kg at $9. Look for a bold run while fresh.

THREE GRACES (9) returns. Showed plenty of promise in her debut effort when rattling home to grab second. Easier assignment and is drawn nicely. Bold showing expected. SHANGHAI VENTURE (6) made good ground to the line at the latest when hitting the line strongly for third. Positive jockey switch and can settle closer from the inside draw. Sure to be threatening. PAMPUNI (5) stuck on gamely to the line on debut when holding down third at Pakenham. Slight rise in the weights. Extra 100m should suit. KERMACETO (2) is a filly by Kermadec ready for debut. Booking of in-form hoop Michael Dee a strong push.
Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 (slowly away; raced below expectations; travelled poorly) at Mornington 0 - 58 April 17 over 2045m, 10 len behind Heroic Fighter carrying 59.5kg at $2.30. When resuming last campaign third of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw February 23 over 1500m, 4 len behind Prix De Turn with 59kg at $5.50. Hard to have.

A big run would not surprise.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 11 at Casterton Mdn-Sw on November 8 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Trust Rusty with 59.5kg at $11. The run before that 8th of 12 at Casterton Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Dyerville carrying 59.5kg at $9. Still likely to struggle after 3kg claim.

SMULLEN (12) was another that rattled home on debut and was unlucky not to find the frame, beaten just under a length into fifth. Has been gelded since his last start and unites with Blake Shinn. Hard to knock. DELICATE BABE (13) was an eye-catcher on debut when flashing home to only go down a lip at Pakenham. Better for the race experience. Very bold showing expected. ANNIHILATE (6) battled on gamely to the line to hold down a minor placing. Will need a smart steer from the wide gate the blinkers go on first time to help him focus. Among the main hopes. MAN OF HEART (1) returns well short of a preferred trip but has been far from disgraced against tougher opposition. Needs to be kept safe.
Second-up today. Last outing favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw November 16 over 1400m in soft going defeating Lady Jones carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. At only start last preparation slowly away; 3rd in a small field at Cranbourne 3Y Mdn-Sw on April 29 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Galaxy Ruler carrying 58kg at $2.50. Sure to go well again.

Racing well. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw November 22 over 1443m on a heavy track defeating King Neptune with 59.5kg at $5.50. The run before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on November 6 over 1406m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Potato Pete with 59.5kg at $8. Has the ability to take this out.

RIVERPLATE (1) got off the mark in fine fashion at the latest when resuming and scoring by just under 4L. Sets up similarly and only has to carry an extra 0.5kg. Expected to go on with it. ULTIMATE KISS (3) is yet to miss the frame in his six career starts - including one win. Rock-hard fit now and Damien Oliver sticks. OBFUSCATION (2) has found the minors in his last three efforts. Ticking along nicely and is drawn well. Warrants respect. ORRONG ROAD (8) presents a strong value play for the exotics. Don't dismiss.
Useful gelding. Resumes off a 32 day let-up. At the latest run 9th of 14 at Geelong Ballan Cup on November 5 over 1512m, 3.5 len behind Savannah Cloud carrying 57kg at $21. The run before that 11th of 13 at Geelong Bm64 on October 19 over 1400m, 6 len behind Lafargue carrying 62kg at $21. Will be saved up for one last crack.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 12 at Cranbourne Bm70 on November 12 over 1300m, 8 len behind Pal D'oro with 59kg at $15. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Benalla Bm70 on September 23 over 1406m, in the wet; 3 len behind Atomic Gold carrying 59kg at $9.50. The 2kg claim won't be enough to put him into contention.

ST LAWRENCE (3) returns for the dominant Maher & Eustace team. Is 2/2 first up and will waste no time working to the front from the favourable draw. Carries plenty of upside. RUGGIERO (8) scorched home over the top of his rivals to score an impressive maiden victory. Drawn to go back again but will appreciate the anticipated strong tempo and should be taking big strides late. ANTARCTIC OCEAN (6) was unlucky not to score at the latest when captured close to the line after leading throughout. Gets weight relief and is worth plenty of respect off recent efforts. Hard to hold out. BRASADA (1) has struggled to get involved in his last two after settling too far off them. Gets the blinkers applied first time to help him focus. Strong each-way chance if he can settle closer.
Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len at Moonee Valley Mdn-Sw November 18 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Vanbrugh Castle with 58kg at $3.30. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1400m, in the wet; 1.0 len behind Hang On Harvey with 58kg at $3.30. Can go on with it.

Hard to have on recent performances.

Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Gawler 3Up Mdn-Sw November 17 over 1500m in soft going defeating Seporia carrying 56.5kg at $4.50. Can't recommend him in this.

The race before that 4th of 11 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on November 13 over 1425m, 3.5 len behind Our Empress Zoe carrying 58kg at $19. Just missed last start but likely to struggle this time.

Has a low draw and is in the mix.

HARD TO CROSS (1) picked up in great style last start to score a comfortable victory at the tight turning Moonee Valley and shed his maiden tag. Lugs an extra 2kgs off that performance with winning hoop D Yendall sticking for the in-form Patrick Payne stable. Leading hope. HIGHBOY (3) got off the mark fresh and has managed to follow it up with two solid runs. Gets weight relief with the rice in class and is sure to create all his own luck up on speed. Sure to be thereabouts when the whips are cracking. EL KABONG (5) found plenty when winning by a nose two runs back at Pakenham. Battled on gamely to the line at the latest when falling just shy of the placings. Has big claims on best figures. LUNA DIVA (10) got off the mark nicely two back at Ballarat but struggled to back it up at the latest. Drawn to get the gun run this time. Don't underestimate.
Second run back. First-up after seven months 9th of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on November 23 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Saint Of Katowice carrying 57kg at $41.

RICK'S CAFE (11) has returned in great order this campaign, picking up a win and two close minor placings. Strips fitter and her racing style suggests she will relish the extra 200m. I AM NEWS (5) knuckled down gamely to prevail at the latest. Gets in 2.5kgs heavier off that win but is going too good to ignore. WHATAFOX (6) was a dominant maiden winner fresh and followed it up with a sound placing last time at Moonee Valley. Strips fitter and gets weight relief with the 3kg claimer engaged. TURN IT UP TOMMY (9) is a back marker who keeps coming. Sure settle rearward from the barrier and be saved for the final shot at them.

POCKET CHANGE (4) made a big impression fresh when rattling home to grab a minor placing after turning a long way off the leader. Already a second up winner and will appreciate the extra 100m. FORBIDDEN CITY (12) was unlucky not to return a winner last start at Moe when falling a lip shy. Strips fitter over a track and trip she's run well over. One of the main contenders. RUTHERFORD (9) is ready to return. Closed off last campaign with two impressive victories. Major player if she can pick up where she left off. SUPARAZI (1) put in the complete performance at the latest when scoring by just under a length. Up in the weights and is drawn wide. Will find it tricky but is worth keeping safe.

SAUCEY HORSEY (6) returned in great order at the latest when scoring by just under 3L at Bendigo. Yet to win second up but is 2/3 over this journey and gets in similarly at the weights with the 1.5kg claimer engaged. Can go on with it. NETANYAHU (12) was a winner first up and followed it up with a bold showing at the latest when claiming second. Stays over a preferred trip and the in-form M Dee unites. KNOCK KNOCK (8) was another that returned to the winner's circle fresh, arriving just in time to score by just under a length. Is a track and trip winner but will need a smart steer from an outside gate. LOVIN' LAUGHS (9) has plenty of dash and is drawn to advantage. Expect him to be the one they all need to reel in.
