Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign second last of 14 at Echuca 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1000m, 10 len behind Gerald with 59.5kg at $21.

Rates highly this time.

TASPINARO (5) didn't have much luck on debut and then was close-up on resumption off a trial win. He races handy and fitter can break through. ENUFF ROSES (7) was good on resumption and hasn't had the best of it the two since. Has the winkers on first time and draws low. Quick improvement is anticipated. TYPICALLY BRAZEN (9) was wide and need the first-up run. Brought strong relative form to that and expect her to go well. ITCHY POWDER (11) debuts form a handy gate and profiles well. No surprise if money comes for her.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming began awkwardly; eased back early on 6th of 9 at Bairnsdale 3yo+ Mdn on November 1 over 1200m, 8 len behind Burton Street with 59.5kg at $16. Last start failed to make an impression; 6th of 11 at Geelong 3yo+ Mdn on December 26 over 1400m, 6 len behind Zourisky carrying 59.5kg at $13. Can't recommend.

Was at very long odds at debut, 8th of 10 at Burrumbeet 3yo+ Mdn on January 1 over 1000m, 11 len behind Why Now carrying 59.5kg at $81. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Dissident out of Panda's Turn. Won a trial over 800m at Werribee on January 12 then followed up with a ninth at Cranbourne in a 800m trial on May 3. Expected to measure up.

Having third race start.

Last start 7th of 10 at Hamilton 3yo Mdn Plate on December 7 over 1200m, 5 len behind Corona Lad with 58kg at $11. Sure to be about the money.

WILD RHAPSODY (10) has been well supported both runs in and will be better for them. She has plenty up the sleeve and Bates is a key jockey switch. She runs along and will manage the sticky gate. DAUNTLESS (11) has no luck on debut in a Flemington Open 2 ( in the market) and is back after 371 days and surgery to remove bone chips. It's an ask but no surprise if she's ready to go and races well. INVINCIBLE MILLIE (7) is third-up and hasn't been enjoying much luck. Not sure the rail suits but she races at peak and is good enough at best. PATMOS ISLAND (5) debuts for the premier barn and has the blinkers applied first time. Elevate if the money comes.
Third-up today. First-up slowly away; ran last of 12 at Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn on November 28 over 1200m, 15 len behind Vasmee carrying 59.5kg at $31. Last start 4th of 13 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Nuriya carrying 59.5kg at $51. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Most recently ran last of 7 at Nhill (Bm52) on December 26 over 1650m, 24 len behind Boom Boom Sweet carrying 54kg at $61. The start before that ran last of 10 at Colac 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 18 over 1200m, 21 len behind Red Rocketship with 55.5kg at $151. Cannot entertain.

At debut, hung in in straight; 7th of 14 at Terang 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 1400m, 6 len behind Hard Questions carrying 56kg at $9. Should improve and is a chance in this line-up.

BAD INFLUENCE (7) is in the premier yard and ready to win. Linda rides and will push forward. Didn't have the best of it second-up backed off the map and should have these covered at the mile. PREFER US (12) was in the market on debut but looked in need of it. Has the winkers first time and the sharp yard will have her much more competitive today. FIRM AS A ROCK (11) has been around the mark and will find this easier than Sandown. Draws well and is in the mix. NORTHVIC (5) was much better at Nhill this trip and gets the blinkers first time. Fitter and draws for a soft run.
Useful type. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Nhill Nhill Cup-Bm84 on December 26 over 1650m, 3 len behind Dubai Dominion carrying 55kg at $2.60. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Hamilton 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 7 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Stately Star with 63.5kg at $4.80. The inside draw is a real bonus.

BOOM BOOM SWEET (3) rides the speed and followed the near-miss at Hamilton with the heavily-bet 58 win at Nhill this trip. The 3kg claim takes care of the weight lift and he can make it a double. CATEGORY FIVE (1) was just beaten at Hamilton in the same contest as favourite and then was backed again beaten 3L at Nhill in much stronger than this. The 4kg claim helps with the big weight lift and the speedy galloper will take pegging back. FABIAN'S SPIRIT (4) was good beaten 1L at Geelong as favourite and then found the grade too hot at Warrnambool. On the quick return and can bounce with John Allen reunited. HOT SEAT (5) is on the improve and may be best of the rest
Useful gelding. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm64) December 21 over 1335m defeating Elite Drake with 59kg at $31.

WILSONS PROM (4) is in the premier barn and was expected to win at Warrnambool but was assigned to third in the shadows of the post. Didn't have much luck at The Valley prior and before that wasn't disgraced in a Group 3. Linda will have him on-speed from the low gate and he won't get a better chance to return to the winners stall. MRS MAISEL (8) ran along and was back to form just missing at Geelong. Can build on that and prove very competitive. MIETTE STAR (6) resumes and is sharp on the fresh side. He will race over further but placed her only run this trip. GINGERSON (2) and SOUTHERN NATIVE (1) are both last start winners going well enough to be considered.

DON'T MAKE ME WAIT (4) has placed the last two with the latest this trip in stronger grade. She will get the run of the race from the low barrier and can record a deserved win. SHADOW PREY (3) will peak back in class off the solid effort at Sandown (H). John Allen is re-united and he should go close. BANNERTON (2) won at Nhill building on the near-miss at Hamilton. Was heavily-bet and can win again without surprising. MISS MASK (6) led and missed a nose at Mornington. That was a much improved effort and she won't be far away.
First-up. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside G N Hrdl August 2 2020 over 4200m, soft track; 1.2 len behind Ablaze with 70.5kg at $8.50.

A good contest. SHOW SOME DECORUM (3) came back to racing further improved winning the 64 at The Valley. It was a strong effort and John Allen takes over from the apprentice. He won't have to improve much to make the double. THE SISCOS KID (5) brought strong form to resumption and just missed. He gets the run of the race and has some weight relief at 70 level. A winning chance along with MCCAIN (4) off the lip defeat at Kerang. RIPCORD (2) resumes and was last seen in Listed and Group races over staying trips. Has been away for a while but Bates sticks and the betting should say if the gelding is forward enough to feature.
Useful type. Most recently keen; led to the turn then faded 6th of 15 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm64) on December 22 over 1300m, 5 len behind Nicolini Vito carrying 59kg at $31. The run before that won by 2.5 len at this track 3yo+ Hcp (58) December 4 over 1100m defeating In The Sun carrying 60kg at $4. Can do a lot better than that last run.

FIGHT ON SHADES (4) has placed close-up twice since the Maiden win. Was heavily-bet at Terang the latest. Reaches peak fitness and drawn to advantage will prove tough to beat. ASFOORA (8) won easily at Colac on debut and is sure to have come on. Will push forward and looks capable of taking the next step. BULLZEYE BEAUTY (10) led and was a dominant Maiden winner at Warrnambool. Just missed as favourite here prior and can keep building. TONY'S KICK (7) is also a last start Maiden winner and can make the first four with luck from the wide gate.
