AAP

Every chance but compounded at Avoca off long break. Better conditioned. Switching to 1100m. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

Started $71.00 and weakened to finish 6th last start at Avoca. Likely to settle back in the field. Entitled to be a big price.

Beaten sixth of ten over 6½f at Avoca (maiden) 14 days ago.

RSIS

Odds of 70/1 and struggled with the pace when 6th last time at Avoca. Might be ridden for luck.

Ran on okay without troubling at Deniliquin. Awkwardly drawn and up in weight. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Started at $5.00 and finished 4th last run at Deniliquin and goes up in weight. Can run into the placings.

Fair effort (beaten 1½l) at Deniliquin 14 days ago in a handicap; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice but yet to open his account after 16 starts; others appeal more.

RSIS

Started 4/1 and ran 4th last time at Deniliquin and has to cope with a weight increase.

Makes debut for the Bob & Kane Post stable. Well held in both jumpouts. Tough draw but odds may prove best guide here.

ILB

4yo by Reward For Effort having first race appearance for trainer Bob Post & Kane Post. Betting as a guide.

Running in first race; sole newcomer in the field; can make his presence felt with signs of encouragement in profile.

Fronting up for second campaign (16-weeks). Form doesn't leap off the page. Trial was pleasing. Rough place prospect only fresh in this company.

ILB

Resuming after a break. Started $41.00 and came in 7th last time Ballarat Synthetic. Has early speed and positions nicely. Best to watch only.

Held in seventh over 5f at Ballarat (maiden) on first outing for new trainer four months ago; this now her sixth attempt to get off the mark; is passed over.

RSIS

Back from a break. Odds of 40/1 and finished 7th last time Ballarat Synthetic. Has early pace and positions nicely.

Resuming (13-weeks). Not pushed out Colac trial 22 Oct. On pacer. Can play a role fresh in this affair.

ILB

Back after a break. Tailed off to finish 8th last time at Bendigo. Dean Yendall is in good form for this stable. Will be positive in the run early. Betting is the best guide.

Winless in five starts but has shown promise with third her top showing; held when eighth of 12 at Bendigo over 6½f (maiden) in July; Symon Wilde's runners are going great guns at the moment; passed over.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Didn't threaten when 8th last run at Bendigo. Will be positive in the run early. Jockey Dean Yendall and trainer Symon Wilde link up well. Watch betting.

Disappointing debut performance at Horsham 18 Oct. Experience a positive. Coming back in distance. Improvement required and place looks best at this stage.

ILB

Started $151.00 and was well beaten when 9th last start at Horsham but having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Lines up against a competitive field.

Held on his debut (7f, Horsham) at 150-1 two weeks ago; hard to ignore.

RSIS

Started 150/1 and was well beaten when 9th last run at Horsham but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Dropping back to a shorter trip.

Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Hamilton. Drops back a notch in trip.

ILB

Started $18.00 and came in 7th last run at Hamilton but gets a favourable alley.

RSIS

At 17/1 finished 7th last time at Hamilton but will appreciate a good stall.

Kept fresh following return. Sent out $8 when unable to threaten at Swan Hill at second appearance. Sound claims.

ILB

Was $8.00 and didn't attack the line when 8th last run at Swan Hill. Prefers to settle towards the rear.

Finished eighth, beaten a fair way over 5f at Swan Hill (maiden) five weeks ago; competitive shout.

RSIS

Started 7/1 and faded to finish 8th last start at Swan Hill. Likely to get back.

On pace but found little at the business end at Horsham off spell. Strips fitter. Can make her presence felt.

ILB

Started $11.00 and was found wanting late when 4th last start at Horsham. Displays good tactical speed. Small possibility.

Finished fourth, beaten 6l, (Horsham) 13 days ago; she can be taken on.

RSIS

Odds of 10/1 and lost ground late when 4th last start at Horsham. Won't be far away during the run.

AAP

Prominent, showed plenty of ticker to just go under at Warrnambool at her second race start. Drawn to effect. All the better, can get the job done.

ILB

Close up last start at Warrnambool and can find a nice position from the draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be hard to beat in this.

Near miss at 5-2 over 5f at Warrnambool (maiden) two weeks ago.

RSIS

Just shy of the win last start at Warrnambool and will try to take advantage of the stall. Jockey Linda Meech and trainer Tom Dabernig work well together. Winning potential.

Returns for second campaign (12-weeks). Started big prices and never featured in early runs. Needs to show more.

ILB

Resuming. Started $151.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 9th last start at Pakenham Synthetic and down in trip. Expected to settle towards the rear. May find these too slick.

Finished out the back at Pakenham over 1m (maiden) in August.

RSIS

Resumes from a break. At 150/1 unsatisfactory performance when 9th last time at Pakenham Synthetic and will be down in distance. Prefers to settle towards the tail.

AAP

First-up (15-weeks). Unplaced in all 8 runs to date. Largely struggled to date. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Back from spell. At $101.00 didn't find the line when 11th last time Ballarat Synthetic but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Down in distance. Best to watch and see.

Finished 11th of 12 over 7½f at Ballarat (maiden) in July.

RSIS

First run back from a break. Started at 100/1 and weakened under pressure when 11th last start Ballarat Synthetic but drawn by the rails. Down in trip.

Odds correct as at Sat 31 Oct, 10:41 am AEDT. Odds can change.
