Ex Will Clarken & Charlotte Sorby in SA. Started $10 when safely held in Maiden company at Morphettville Parks. Capable of making an impact.

ILB

Odds of $10.00 and disappointing run when 7th last run at Morphettville. Capable of bouncing back and has the ideal gate. First start for a new trainer. Should put in a decent effort.

Finished seventh, beaten a fair way at Morphettville last month; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 12; runs for a new trainer here; others more appealing.

RSIS

Started 9/1 and was ordinary when 7th last start at Morphettville. Overlooking the last run and gets the perfect stall. First start for a new trainer. Will attract plenty of interest.

Resuming (35-weeks). Ex Annabel & Rob Archibald in QLD. Had time to develop and trialled well at Morphettville Parks. Raced in stiffer company last prep.

ILB

First up and came on strongly when 2nd first up last preparation at Newcastle. Racing for a new trainer. Displays good tactical speed. Solid chance.

Finished ninth of 12 in a handicap at Eagle Farm in February; some promise; closest she has come to winning after four starts was a second; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; has had some time off; easy enough to take on.

RSIS

Resuming and good run when finishing 2nd resuming last preparation at Newcastle. Coming to a new trainer. Should jump out and bowl along. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Returns for second campaign (25-weeks). Ex Ben, Will & Jd Hayes in Victoria. Not pushed out Morphettville Parks trial 28 Sep. Happy to watch.

ILB

First up after a break. Odds of $6.50 and ran 6th last time at Cranbourne and back to a shorter trip. First race for a new trainer. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Finished sixth, beaten 8l, over 1m at Cranbourne (maiden) in April; not yet off the mark in four attempts although has finished third; now running for a new trainer; returns from a layoff; others more persuasive.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Was 11/2 and came in 6th last start at Cranbourne and back to a shorter distance. First appearance for a new trainer.

Started $31 when safely held in Maiden company at Murray Bridge Gh at second start. Wiser for those runs and should have more to offer.

ILB

Finished 7th last start at Murray Bridge. Expecting improvement. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Definite contender.

Not beaten that far in seventh (4l) at Murray Bridge Gh over 5f (maiden) 15 days ago; others appeal more.

RSIS

Ran 7th last start at Murray Bridge. Expecting improvement. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Must be considered here.

Raced in back half and never likely at Morphettville Parks at second outing. Better for experience and can build on that.

Lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Morphettville. Good prospects.

Held in eighth at Morphettville three weeks ago when just behind Grand Millesime; others have more pressing claims.

RSIS

Was well beaten when 8th last time at Morphettville. Can take this out.

Had no answers when the pressure went on at Murray Bridge Gh debut when drifting in the betting 26 Sep. Better for run. Only for exotics.

ILB

Started $31.00 and didn't attack the line when 8th last run at Murray Bridge but was a debutant last start. Prefer in something easier.

Close up behind Crazyaboutzou last month when eighth at Murray Bridge Gh over 5f; could improve although needs to.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and struggled with the pace when 8th last start at Murray Bridge but fitter for debut run. Should be rolling forward early from the wide stall.

Raced in back half and never likely at Kilmore off extended spell. First time around Halidon. Looks up against it.

ILB

Jumped at $101.00 and was well beaten when 9th last start at Kilmore but can find a nice position from the draw. Trying to win after 21 runs. Can't entertain.

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but has hit the crossbar on multiple occasions but remains without a win; beaten 9l (ninth) over 5½f at Kilmore (maiden) last month.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last run at Kilmore but will try to take advantage of the stall. Yet to break maiden status after 21 runs.

Odds correct as at 4:00 am AEDT. Odds can change.
