AAP

Fair performance without threatening at Naracoorte at second appearance at $8.50. Warrants attention.

ILB

Was $8.50 and lost ground late when 4th last time at Naracoorte. Will need to lift.

Not beaten too far when fourth at Naracoorte 13 days ago; others appeal more.

RSIS

At 15/2 outmatched towards the finish when 4th last time at Naracoorte.

Failed to threaten (outside alley) at Morphettville Parks after a market ease. Drops to shorter trip. Super fit from racing, worth a look.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Right up there last run at Bordertown.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Just short of the win last start at Bordertown.

AAP

First starter from the Rachel Samsonenko stable. Won recent Horsham jumpout. May need the experience but watch for support.

ILB

4yo by Super One racing as a debutant for Rachel Samsonenko and has the ideal alley. Large claim helps. Follow the money.

Already a gelding; record of the trainer offers some encouragement; market can guide as regards prospects of this one opening his account at the first attempt; first rules outing for this four-year-old son of Super One.

RSIS

Super One 4yo having first race start for Rachel Samsonenko and has the ideal stall. The large claim from Tayla Cameron helps.

AAP

Not disgraced at Mortlake at healthy odds at career opener 31 Oct. Better for it.

ILB

Made up ground when 4th last run at Mortlake and having second career run. Has a nice turn of foot. Watch the betting.

Not beaten far on his debut at Mortlake when not far behind Classy Sassy at 28-1 last month; will need to step up from his racecourse introduction.

RSIS

Was making up some late ground when 4th last time at Mortlake and having second race start. Has a nice turn of foot. Could be in the mix.

AAP

Handily placed and gave her all at Mortlake off spell when firmed from $13 into $9. Strips in better shape.

ILB

Made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Mortlake. Won't be far away during the run. Very capable of taking this out.

Has found improvement of late; finished a decent runner-up of ten at Mortlake over 5½f (maiden) where just ahead of Zephyr's Reward last month.

RSIS

Finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Mortlake. Should come to hand quickly. Very capable of taking this out.

AAP

Consistent of late. Finished it off well in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate in soft going at Wangaratta. Good gate. Rates highly.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at Wangaratta and gets a favourable draw. Will be positive in the run early. Expected to be competitive.

Didn't run badly when 13-1 second over 6½f at Wangaratta (maiden) 11 days ago; has shown some recent improvement but still winless and defeats stacking up (11 on the bounce); been struggling to get her head in front recently so others more likely.

RSIS

Good run when placing 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at Wangaratta and drawn nicely. Should be going forward early. Expect a bold effort.

$150k purchase. Out of a Group 3-winning mare. Stay Inside filly heading to the races having been placed in all three jumpouts. Market watch advised.

ILB

Debutant 3yo by Stay Inside for trainer Ciaron Maher. Betting as a guide.

Ciaron Maher newcomers have an excellent record over this sort of trip; related to Gleneagles (winner from 5f up to 7f); can give it a good shot with signs of encouragement in profile.

AAP

Went home tamely at Mildura second-up at $2. Reverts to slightly shorter trip. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Odds of $1.60 and not up to scratch when 6th last time at Mildura. Shows good early pace. Attracts support.

Disappointed when sixth of eight over 6½f at Mildura (maiden) last week; without a win in three attempts although has finished third.

RSIS

At 8/13 was nothing special when 6th last run at Mildura. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned. Major chance.

Found enough to place in small field at Jerilderie at second start. Sound latest effort but will need to lift again in this affair.

ILB

Back from a let up. Was competitive when 3rd last start at Jerilderie.

Fair effort (beaten just under 2l) over 5f at Jerilderie (maiden) 49 days ago.

RSIS

Freshened for this. Tidy run when 3rd last time at Jerilderie.

Odds correct as at Sat 14 Nov, 2:20 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
