AAP

First-up (40-weeks). Handy fresh horse. Won a jump-out here 21/9. Maps well. Not out of this fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up from a break of 40 weeks and led and controlled the pace to win by 2 1/4L first up last preparation at Moe. Should race on the speed. Can win.

IRD

First up and led all the way when winning by a margin of 2 1/4L first up last preparation at Moe. Should muster plenty of early speed. Capable type.

RSIS

Resuming and took charge of the race to win by a margin of 2 1/4L resuming last preparation at Moe. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned. Good prospects.

Closed off late from the tail at Caulfield Heath. Capable of making an impact if things pan out.

ILB

Uncompetitive when 7th last time at Caulfield Heath. Jye Mcneil takes the reins today. Expected to be flashing home. Could be in the mix.

IRD

Struggled when 7th last run at Caulfield Heath. Jye Mcneil takes the reins today. Expected to be flashing home. Could be in the mix.

RSIS

Not in contention when 7th last time at Caulfield Heath. Jye Mcneil is a bonus. Should be swooping on the field late.

Returns for second campaign (25-weeks). Not too far off the mark in his first preparation. Big win in Maiden company Colac last time first-up. Expecting a prominent showing fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up after a break. Started $1.85 and ran 4th last time at Stawell but solid career start. Carrying less weight this time.

IRD

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Jumped at $1.85 and ran 4th last run at Stawell but promising career start. Should jump out and bowl along.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Odds of 5/6 and finished 4th last run at Stawell but solid career start. Gets some weight taken off.

AAP

Let-up (55-days). No threat as a $41 chance in 3yo+ (Bm74) at Caulfield Heath. Drawn to get an economic trail. Look for a better showing.

ILB

Freshened up. Jumped at $41.00 and weakened under pressure when 11th last start at Caulfield Heath but facing weaker opposition. Has drawn to do little work. Slim hope.

IRD

Back from a let up. Was $41.00 and lost ground in the run home when 11th last time at Caulfield Heath but up against weaker rivals. Gets the perfect barrier. Marginal contender.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Odds of 40/1 and faded to finish 11th last start at Caulfield Heath but competing in a less challenging grade. Will appreciate a good stall.

Came home with a wet sail to grab third 3yo+ (Bm66) at Sandown-Hillside at odds of $12. Claiming apprentice engaged again. Placed only other run at Cranbourne. Capable of making an impact.

ILB

Did well to run into 3rd beaten by 1L last start at Sandown and suited by the weight drop. Showing positive results since returning from a break.

IRD

Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 1L last start at Sandown and dropping weight. Putting up notable efforts this campaign.

RSIS

Claimed a spot in the top three when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Sandown and suited by the weight drop.

Set for second campaign (21-weeks). Commanding winner at Morphettville Parks when fresh last campaign while brought back with a Cranbourne Training trial. Won 2 of 3 starts in first campaign. Rates highly fresh in this company.

ILB

First up after 21 weeks and made every post a winner when winning by a margin of more than 3L first up last preparation at Morphettville. Promising career start. Looks good in this event.

IRD

First up and was much too speedy in front when winning by more than 3L first up last preparation at Morphettville. Good career start. Strong claims and hard to beat.

RSIS

Resuming and set the tempo when winning by a margin of over 3L resuming last preparation at Morphettville. Should muster plenty of early toe. Showing consistent performance in races. Make this a winner.

Strong winning performance after getting back worse than midfield at Moe for new stable. Worth a look.

ILB

Picked up nicely to win last start at Moe but challenged by a tougher grade. Has shown early pace in races to date. Dropping weight. Not at all out of this race.

IRD

Finished well when winning last start at Moe but racing against tougher rivals. Will be positive in the run early. Goes down in weight. Can't leave out of your calculations.

RSIS

Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Moe but up against a higher level of opposition. Has shown early pace in races to date. Betting is the best guide.

Let-up (78-days). Led, gave away final stages this track second-up. Breaks from an outside gate. Sharper now, has some claims fresh in this company.

ILB

Fresh after a spell. At $10.00 peaked on the run when 4th last start at Cranbourne. Likely to be well placed early. Will need its best to find a place.

IRD

Resumes after a spell. Started $10.00 and overrun in the run home when 4th last run at Cranbourne on a heavy surface. Remi Tremsal is a suitable booking. Will need to elevate.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Started at 9/1 and outmuscled when 4th last time at Cranbourne. Displays good tactical pace.

Comments

AAP

Weakened in run home at Mornington. Leads, handy. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

Started $6.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at Mornington. The large claim from Nadia Daniels should help.

IRD

Started $6.00 and struggled with the pace when 6th last time at Mornington. The large claim from Nadia Daniels helps.

RSIS

Started 5/1 and was well beaten when 6th last run at Mornington. Nadia Daniels provides some weight relief.

Resuming (62-weeks). New to Cranbourne. Prefer to see after a lengthy absence.

ILB

Back after a 62 week spell. Started at $201.00 and disappointing run when 11th last start at Moree but gets a favourable draw. Likely to get back in the run. Very weak selection.

IRD

Resuming after a break of 62 weeks. Was $201.00 and below expectations when 11th last run at Moree but drawn nicely. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Down in trip. Looks to be in trouble.

RSIS

First run back from a break of 62 weeks. At 200/1 subpar when 11th last run at Moree but drawn nicely. Expected to settle towards the tail.

Odds correct as at 11:10 am AEST. Odds can change.
