AAP

Returns for second campaign (50-weeks). Passable debut effort when battled home at Kembla Grange when fancied. Furnished with time and will take benefit from recent trials. Watch betting.

ILB

Fresh after break of 50 weeks. Jumped at $2.70 and showed some merit late when 4th last run at Kembla Grange and was on debut last time. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

RP

Fair debut effort at Kembla Grange at 7-4 last November; returns from a break here; could improve from his debut but will need to.

RSIS

Back from a 50 week break. Started 7/4 and ran past a few when 4th last run at Kembla Grange and was a debutant last start. Very capable of taking this out.

Well down the track at Newcastle on debut at wide odds. Has a fair bit to find.

ILB

Was nothing special when 6th last time at Newcastle but having second career run.

RSIS

Well beaten when 6th last start at Newcastle but fitter for debut run.

Well down the track at Warwick Farm on debut when crunched in betting. Better for run. Dropping back to 1000m here. Should have more to offer.

ILB

Odds of $15.00 and struggled with the pace when 7th last start at Warwick Farm. Expecting improvement here and fitter for debut run. Will be motoring home late. Rates as one of the key chances.

RP

Came home last over 5½f on his debut at Warwick Farm showing signs of greenness at 14-1 17 days ago; running in a handicap for only the second time; must now step up.

RSIS

Was 14/1 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last run at Warwick Farm. Is capable of a resurgence and was on debut last time. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

AAP

Back for second campaign (18-weeks). Comes off a good trial. Didn't make much impact in stronger races last prep. Can play a role fresh in this line-up.

ILB

Resumes after a spell. Was $12.00 and faded to finish 9th last start at Caulfield Heath. Happy to forgive that run and facing a weaker group of contenders. Definitely worth considering.

RP

Not beaten too far when ninth of 11 over 6f at Caulfield (handicap) four months ago; back from an absence here.

RSIS

First run back. Started 11/1 and struggled with the pace when 9th last time at Caulfield Heath. Should improve here and going down in grade. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Trials (4:0-1-1). Trial work has been reasonable and there may be more up her sleeve for race day. Benefit of decent alley. Bears close watching.

ILB

Ciaron Maher 3yo by I Am Invincible having first race start and will try to take advantage of the draw. Betting as a guide.

RP

Yard can have debut winners, especially over this trip; related to Runaway Tycoon (winner from 5f up to 6½f); sire can inject some quality; warrants plenty of respect with signs of encouragement in profile.

RSIS

3yo debutant sired by I Am Invincible for Ciaron Maher and can find a nice position from the draw. Interesting gear change of tongue strap on first time. Watch the betting.

Kicks off second campaign (18-weeks). Placed on debut last campaign while trialling well in the lead-up. This is no soft return.

ILB

First up and made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by over 2 1/2L first up last preparation at Scone. Ran 3rd in a trial at Rosehill Gardens on Oct 2nd. Betting is the best guide.

RP

Last of nine four months ago in a maiden; returns from a layoff here; others more likely.

RSIS

Resuming and caught the eye when 2nd beaten by over 2 1/2L resuming last preparation at Scone. Ran 3rd in a trial at Rosehill Gardens on Oct 2nd. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Fresh. Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Nowra. Form doesn't inspire.

ILB

Jumped at $101.00 and was ordinary when 7th last run at Nowra. A 21 start maiden. Leeshelle Small provides some weight relief. This looks a tough assignment.

RP

Held in seventh over 6f at Nowra (maiden) four weeks ago; yet to open her account after 21 starts; passed over.

RSIS

Was 100/1 and average performance when 7th last run at Nowra. Yet to break maiden status after 21 starts. The large claim from Leeshelle Small helps.

AAP

Form to date sound. Not far off them in the small field at Newcastle. Fitter second-up. Right in this.

ILB

Odds of $3.40 and crept into 4th last run at Newcastle and will appreciate a good barrier. Should muster plenty of early speed. Definite claims for punters.

RP

Not yet off the mark in three attempts although has finished third; respectable effort at Newcastle over 4½f (handicap) three weeks ago; just second start in this company and booking of Chad Schofield takes the eye.

RSIS

Was 12/5 and made some ground when 4th last run at Newcastle and drawn by the rails. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has definite claims.

Odds correct as at 2:30 am AEDT. Odds can change.
