Fronting up for second campaign (35-weeks). Little impact in early runs. Looks up against it.

ILB

Fresh today after a break of 35 weeks. At $71.00 finished 7th last start at Ballarat. Rough chance.

Best he's managed so far is fourth from four career starts and things not gone well in this headgear in last couple of starts; not beaten that far at Ballarat over 6f (maiden) in February; returns from a layoff; easy enough to take on.

RSIS

Resuming after a 35 week break. Started 70/1 and came in 7th last run at Ballarat.

On pace but found little at the business end at Manangatang off long break. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Started at $7.00 and gave ground late when 4th last start at Manangatang. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Lines up against a competitive field.

Yet to open his account after 18 starts; finished fourth, beaten 7l, over 6f at Manangatang (maiden) eight days ago; is passed over.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Odds of 6/1 and tired in the closing stages when 4th last start at Manangatang. Prefers to settle towards the tail.

AAP

Lightly raced runner whose best effort remains a 4th from 5 career appearances. Warmed up nicely late at Coleraine first up at a mammoth price. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

At $151.00 ran on into 4th last start at Coleraine. Does take a while to get into stride. This will be a test.

Creditable effort (went off 150-1) to finish fourth at Coleraine last month when dropped in distance in a handicap.

RSIS

Started at 150/1 and made some ground when 4th last run at Coleraine. Likely to get back in the run.

Unraced 4yo out of the Atomic mare I'm Explosive. 2nd in recent Murtoa jump-out. Home track advantage but the outside gate adds to the challenge. Watch the markets.

ILB

Racing as a debutant 4yo by Royal Symphony for Paul Preusker. Keep your eye on the market.

Yard has enjoyed recent success with a newcomer; running in first race; could be in the mix as some good aspects to her profile.

RSIS

4yo first starter sired by Royal Symphony for Paul Preusker.

AAP

Resuming after a (65-weeks) spell. In the minors at Donald on debut last campaign. Winner of past 2 jump-outs. Sound claims fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up from a break of 65 weeks and good effort when finishing 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L first up last preparation at Donald. Drawn beautifully. Marginal chance.

Out of the frame when fourth over 5f at Ballarat (maiden) last July; some promise; closest she has come to winning after three starts was a third; long absence to overcome; others more persuasive.

RSIS

Resuming and attacked the line when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L resuming last preparation at Donald. Gets back and needs luck. The large claim from Jade Smith should help.

Great run at Warrnambool 21 Sep. On pace but found little at the business end at Warrnambool. Breaks from an outside gate. Looks more a place prospect.

ILB

Jumped at $7.50 and ran 4th last time at Warrnambool. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

Beaten 7l in fourth over 6f at Warrnambool (maiden) two weeks ago; stepped up on her last two starts but still winless and defeats stacking up (nine on the bounce); probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Started 13/2 and ran 4th last run at Warrnambool. Has the pace to overcome the wide draw.

Second campaign (24-weeks). More mature now. Excellent debut performance when just nabbed at Donald at $3.60. 1st & 2nd at latest Flemington jump-outs. Set to play a leading role first-up.

ILB

Resumes from a break. Close to a win last run at Donald and was on debut last time. Expecting to settle positively. Gets a favourable draw. Every bit of the short price it deserves to be.

Just held on his debut when beaten a short head (Donald, 6f) showing greenness at 13-5 in May; returns from an absence here; will need to progress to get off the mark.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Close up last start at Donald and was a debutant last start. Should be going forward early. Drawn nicely. Solid chance to come away with the spoils.

Trials (4:0-1-1). Out of a stakes-winning mare. Unplaced latest trial but his earlier trial & jump-out work was fair. Market watch advised.

3yo by Exceedance racing as a debutant for trainer Jason Warren. Follow the money.

Already a gelding; first time on the track; from the same family as Brooklyn Heat, a winner over 5f; capable of making an impact as some good aspects to his profile.

Cost $20K. First starter out of an unraced Sebring mare Mazikeen. 2nd in most recent Murtoa jump-out. No favours from the draw and prefer to see what she does here.

Kicks off second campaign (21-weeks). 2nd in past couple of jump-outs. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

Resuming. Started $41.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 9th last run at Ballarat. Not without a chance.

Finished ninth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) over 5f at Ballarat (maiden) five months ago; returns from a break today; others appeal more.

RSIS

Resumes from a break. Started at 40/1 and faded to finish 9th last start at Ballarat. Respect the betting.

Fronting up for second campaign (21-weeks). Offered little to catch the eye on debut at Ballarat after blowing in the market. Has won past 2 jump-outs. Should progress with her debut behind her. Keep safe.

ILB

Back from a spell. Started $18.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last time at Ballarat but fitter for debut run. Very slim hope.

Not far behind Starseatic in May when tenth (Ballarat, 5f); back from an absence here; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start.

RSIS

Back from a break. Was 17/1 and didn't find the line when 10th last run at Ballarat but was on debut last time.

$230k purchase & out of a Group 3-winning mare Lady Cosmology. Winner of her jump-outs at Ararat & Murtoa over recent weeks. Big watch on debut.

ILB

3yo by Russian Revolution having first race appearance for trainer Tony Mcevoy & Calvin Mcevoy. Watch the market.

Her stable gets plenty of debutant winners; sire can inject some quality; shares a dam with Our Existence, a 6f winner; she's worth a go.

First-up (21-weeks). Past efforts were around the mark and also in the markets. Winner of past 2 Flemington jump-outs. Among the dangers fresh in this affair.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Was $16.00 and average at best when 7th last time at Bendigo.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Odds of 15/1 and not up to scratch when 7th last time at Bendigo.

Odds correct as at 3:40 am AEDT. Odds can change.
