BADONKIDONK (1) sat in behind the leader last start over 2050m and fought on well to the line to finish second as the favourite. Has drawn well and has placed twice at the track before. Rates as the runner to beat WARRANDYTE ROAD (4) led all of the way to score easily here last start over 2050m when sent out at long odds. Has to be a strong chance to record another victory. QUIETLY SPOKEN (2) looked home last start but faded out to finish second over 1700m. Racing in solid form and has each-way claims. I NEED A DRINK (3) should run fitter in his third run back from a spell and warrants respect having won third-up previously. Include in exotic bets.

DIVINE JOURNEY (8) resumes from a short spell and just missed when finishing strongly as the favourite to finish third here over 2050m after starting from a wide draw. With luck in the running she will go close to recording her maiden victory. LADY NELSON (9) has recorded two placings from four runs this prep and found the line well to finish fourth here last start when well supported. On best form should be fighting out the finish. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE (7) finished sixth here last start over 1350m and in a fitter state today has place claims, include in exotic bets. FRESH AIR FRED (2) could only finish sixth over 1400m last start but wasn't far off the winner at the line. Has place claims.

LORD MORTON (7) resumes from a spell having finished a nose second of 10 runners over 1100m. Previous winner here who will be ready to fire fresh-up and rates as the runner to beat. TOAST THE DEEL (14) resumed start to finish second of 13 runners over 1100m, in a fitter state today looks to be a leading contender. PUNCHIN (10) resumes from a spell and should be ready to go a bold race following a recent placing at the trials. Should have come back a lot stronger for this new prep and has solid each-way claims. KUSHAN KHANIVALE (9) is a three-year-old gelding by Rich Enuff from Carnivale on debut today. Has the blinkers on and can run a place fresh-up.

GOGOLF GURU (2) resumes from a spell having finished second last start over 1100m. Has won fresh-up previously and should be hard to beat. EXALTED QUEEN (4) won well at this track two starts back and then faded out over the final 100m of the race to finish eighth over 1050m after racing up on the speed. Has had six starts over today's distance for three wins and should be given another chance today. THE PUBLIKIN (6) didn't do much last start when finishing 10th of 16 runners in what was her second run back from a spell. Has won third-up previously and on that score deserves a second look. FINAL CHANCE (5) ran a far better race last start when coming home strongly to finish a close third over 1100m. In the right field to finish in the top-three.

SPIN THE REWARD (1) finished fifth over 1300m last start after getting denied racing room over the final stages of the race. With better luck in the running today will give a good account of himself and should go close to taking this race out. INSPIRED SUN (5) has very strong form at this track and following a last start second over 1200m should be figuring in the finish. Include in exotic bets. BAMYAN BUDDHA (3) battled on well last start to finish a close third over 1200m. Racing well enough to trouble most of his rivals and rates as a solid each-way chance. KAYSERI (7) came from the back of the field to finish second last start over 1350m at this track, looks on target to record another victory.

WHENTHEDEELINGSDUN (7) is coming off an easy win here last start when sent out as the hot favourite. Has drawn badly but has enough early pace to overcome that obstacle. In her current form should be winning. TAVIKAT (3) went the run of an improver last start when finishing fourth over 1050m and finds the right field to return to form. Has each-way claims. POLLYANNA (11) won well last start and this field does look easier than that last field she faced. With the right run will go close to scoring again. HONEY GO LIGHTLY (9) won her last start by a neck over today's distance when sent out at long odds, looks well placed here to finish in the top-three.

DR DEE DEE (4) only just missed last start when finishing second after hitting the front with 200m to run. Racing in solid form and looks well placed to go close to winning here. CLEVER MAN (2) was beaten a nose as the favourite last start when finishing second over 2050m. Has recorded three placings from six runs this prep and rates as one of the better each-way chances. THRILL KILL (6) looks close to a winning run having finished second in his last two starts. Will strip a fit runner in his fifth run back from a spell and won't be far away at the line. SEBONNA (1) resumes from a spell having won his last start by a head over 2500m. Has won previously fresh-up and is well worth a second look.

LORD OF DARKNESS (9) has recorded four placings from seven starts this prep including a game third here last start over 1600m. Looks well placed here to return to winning form. FAMOUS PRINCE (3) is racing in solid form and races well at this track, hard to see him not figuring in the finish. RED SEQUOIA (4) won well at this track two starts back and followed that run up with a fifth over 2100m when sent out at long odds. Races well here and has place claims. Include in combinations. ZARATSU (5) was a good winner at this track and trip two back and can bounce back from a disappointing effort last time.
