AAP

Ex Mitchell Pateman. Trained here now. Didn't finish it off over 1200m 4yo+ (Rs0ly) at Ascot. Drawn favourably. Very fit, worth a look.

ILB

On a quick back up. Jumped at $18.00 and folded up in the straight when 8th last start at Ascot. Has the ability to turn things around. Tough competitor.

RP

Useful in this grade; not disgraced when eighth at Ascot over 6f (handicap) last Saturday; representing new yard today; plenty of appeal as shown he can win fairly recently.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. Started at 17/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last time at Ascot. Overlooking the last run and gets a favourable draw. Has to be in the finish.

AAP

First-up (42-weeks). Ex R & C Jolly. Trained here now. City winner. Nearly won in Benchmark 64 company at Murray Bridge Gh first-up last campaign while cruising through a winning trial at Albany.

ILB

First up and close to a win first up last preparation at Murray Bridge. First race for a new trainer and has been racing in stronger company. Winning potential.

RP

Finished tenth of 12 over 5f at Murray Bridge Gh (handicap) in January; useful at this level; first start for new trainer; brings winning form to the table and entitled to respect.

RSIS

Resuming and close up resuming last preparation at Murray Bridge. Will be pushing for a forward position early. First start for a new trainer and challenged by weaker competitors. Expect support.

AAP

First-up (23-weeks). Competitive at this level last prep. Recent trial win at Albany suggests ready to go. Tested against better opposition last prep.

ILB

First up after 23 weeks and displayed good finishing speed when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Shows good early pace. Will find this grade more suitable. Long shot.

RP

Finished last of 16 over 7f at Belmont Park (handicap) in May; a four-time course winner; could be in the mix.

RSIS

Resuming and did well to place 2nd beaten by 1/2L resuming last preparation here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Competing in an easier class. Dropping in distance.

Comments

AAP

Resuming (27-weeks). Long losing streak. Went to the paddock after a lean run last prep. Likely to need the run.

ILB

First up after a break of 27 weeks. Jumped at $51.00 and was well beaten when 11th last run at this track. Likely to get back. Betting is the best guide.

RP

Last of 11 over 6f here (handicap, behind Niccy's Affair) six months ago; generally been out of sorts of late; he can be taken on.

RSIS

First run back from a 27 week break. At 50/1 folded up in the straight when 11th last run around here. Gets back and needs luck.

AAP

First-up (28-weeks). Solid form at this level last campaign. Just denied in BenchMark 58+ company first-up last time in while fitted with a Albany trial. Seen in stronger company last campaign.

ILB

First up from a break of 28 weeks and was agonizingly close first up last preparation at this track. Will be a tough ask.

RP

Knows this place inside out (three course wins); beaten a fair way when sixth splitting Niccy's Affair and Shooting Spirit in April upped to 6f.

RSIS

Resuming and just short of the win resuming last preparation at the track.

AAP

First-up (22-weeks). Long winning drought. Usually prominent. Can't enthuse.

ILB

First up today. Peaked in the run home when 5th last time at Belmont and taking on a lower class of opponents. Won't be far away during the run. Place claims at best.

RP

Beaten 2½l five months ago when sent off 80-1 (Belmont Park) over 1m (handicap); a long time since his last win; others more appealing.

RSIS

Back from a break. Overrun towards the finish when 5th last run at Belmont and taking on a lower class of opponents. Should muster plenty of early pace.

First-up (22-weeks). Went close in Rst 0 Met Win-LY company at Ascot first-up last campaign. Raced in stiffer company last prep. Remote place hope at best fresh in this affair.

ILB

Back from a spell. Started at $101.00 and struggled with the pace when 9th last time at Belmont but dropping in class. Others are more appealing.

RP

Held when ninth beaten 11l over 6f at Belmont Park (handicap) in May; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. At 100/1 weakened under pressure when 9th last run at Belmont but dropping in class.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
