AAP

Went home just tamely at Horsham at $8. Can make his presence felt.

ILB

Started $8.00 and crept into 5th last run at Horsham and taking on easier opposition. Zac Moore provides some weight relief and can save some energy from the alley. Good chance at a nice price.

Has struggled to factor since winning a handicap at Colac in February; not disgraced when fifth of 11 over 1m1f at Horsham (handicap) two weeks ago; this looks a fair heat so passed over.

RSIS

Was 7/1 and showed some merit late when 5th last run at Horsham and up against a less challenging field. Large claim helps and drawn well. Definite claims for punters.

AAP

Failed to threaten at Avoca off long spell at healthy odds. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Gave away some ground when 9th last start at Avoca. Serious contender.

Form has been a bit mixed lately and quite a while since he tasted success; behind Princess Sakiko at Avoca over 1m1f (handicap) when beaten 9l 14 days ago; others appeal more given this looks a decent race.

RSIS

Faded away to finish 9th last run at Avoca. Looks a nice proposition.

AAP

Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Avoca. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Jumped at $21.00 and faded away to finish 8th last start at Avoca. Very unlikely.

Was held in eighth two weeks ago at Avoca upped to 1m1f; has raised his game the last twice; unexposed in handicaps with this his second start in this company; despite defeat last time, won a maiden on penultimate start; in with a shout.

RSIS

Started 20/1 and weakened to finish 8th last time at Avoca.

AAP

Solid performance in defeat in the 3yo+ (Bm56) at Avoca. Fit from racing, could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd last run at Avoca. Could be in the mix.

Went down by just under 2l when third over 1m1f at Avoca (handicap) two weeks ago; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; every chance if replicating most recent run.

RSIS

Finished well when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Avoca. Could be in the mix.

AAP

Settled back and didn't come on at Warrnambool. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Started $31.00 and fairly underwhelming when 11th last time at Warrnambool but has been racing in stronger company. Does take a while to get into stride. Can't have.

Finished 11th of 12 at Warrnambool over 1m½f (handicap) 30 days ago; he can be competitive at this level; no surprise to see him go well if reproducing form of his win three starts back.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and unsatisfactory performance when 11th last time at Warrnambool but competing in a lower grade. Gets back and needs luck.

Long winless run. Settled back and didn't figure for new stable in the 3yo+ (Bm56) at Mornington. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Was $31.00 and came in 7th last run at Mornington but back to an increased distance. Rough hope.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Mornington (beaten 4½l) over 7½f (handicap) on first run for current trainer last week; not the most consistent of horses lately and an infrequent winner; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard enough to fancy.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and ran 7th last run at Mornington but stepping back up in trip.

Solid performer. Raced midfield, let down powerfully at Hamilton. Drops to shorter trip. Can challenge again.

ILB

Narrowly denied victory last time at Hamilton. Has strong claims.

Ran well when beaten a neck at Hamilton over 1m3f (handicap) three weeks ago; he can be taken on as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

RSIS

Narrowly denied victory last time at Hamilton. Chance and can measure up.

AAP

Delivered a steely performance to score 3yo+ (Bm56) at Avoca. Up in weight for that win but doubt that will be enough to prevent another bold performance.

ILB

Charged home to win last time at Avoca and has a good draw. Tongue tie go on for the first time and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Should go very close.

Got the job done by 1½l over 1m1f at Avoca (handicap) two weeks ago when four of these were in arrears; definitely of interest.

RSIS

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at Avoca and can find a nice position from the draw. Getting better in recent performances. Has definite claims.

Failed to flatter at St Arnaud over this trip. New to Mortlake. Others with more appeal.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Was $51.00 and underperformed when 7th last time at St Arnaud but competing in a lower grade. Might be ridden for luck. Slim hope.

Was seventh of eight, beaten 8l, at St Arnaud last Saturday; not really built on success in a handicap two months ago at Echuca; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started at 50/1 and below par performance when 7th last time at St Arnaud but dropping in grade. Expected to settle towards the rear.

AAP

Backing up quickly. Finally got the monkey off her back winning at St Arnaud. Yendall on again. Major player here.

ILB

On a quick back up. Finished with purpose when winning last run at St Arnaud and showing improvement in recent outings. Should come to hand quickly. Watch for a sign in the market.

Has taken a step forward the last twice; landed a narrow success in a maiden when off the mark at St Arnaud a week ago; despite that St Arnaud success, others are preferred.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Ran on hard when winning last time at St Arnaud and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will be positive in the run early. Respect the betting.

Winner too strong but ran on for the minors at Echuca. Deep into her campaign, one for multiples.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at Echuca.

Ran a solid race finishing second at Echuca over 1m2½f (handicap) 12 days ago; has hit the frame in several recent runs; trainer has been going through a quiet spell.

RSIS

Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last run at Echuca.

AAP

Failed to threaten in choppy conditions at Warrnambool over longer test at cricket score odds. Hard to warm to.

ILB

Didn't attack the line when 8th last start at Warrnambool and will be dropping in distance. Struggling this preparation.

Useful at this level; tailed off at Warrnambool over 1m7½f (handicap) four weeks ago.

RSIS

Didn't find the line when 8th last start at Warrnambool on a heavy track and back in trip. Struggling recently.

AAP

Backing up quickly. Seasoned performer. Went home tamely at St Arnaud over this journey at $7.50. A few runs under his girth this campaign, one for multiples.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Was $7.50 and ran 6th last run at St Arnaud.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at St Arnaud (beaten just over 4l) last Saturday.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Started 13/2 and came in 6th last run at St Arnaud.

Comments

AAP

Ridden back and never a factor at Warrnambool. Wet track helps but never won second-up and needs a sharp form reversal.

ILB

Weakened under pressure when 12th last start at Warrnambool but facing weaker opposition.

Finished towards the rear of 13 over 1m½f at Warrnambool (handicap) two weeks ago; useful at this level.

RSIS

Folded up in the straight when 12th last start at Warrnambool but facing weaker opposition.

Odds correct as at Sat 31 Oct, 10:51 am AEDT. Odds can change.
