Comments

AAP

Handy and acquitted himself fairly well at Pakenham Synthetic. Better suited back on turf. Placed to much greater effect here.

ILB

Outmuscled in the final stages of the race when 4th last run at Pakenham Synthetic. Has shown early pace in races to date. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Creditable fourth, beaten just under 3l, of 12 over 7f at Pakenham (maiden) three weeks ago; others more likely as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

RSIS

Started to tire late when 4th last run at Pakenham Synthetic. Likely to be well placed early. Could be in the mix.

AAP

Finished well down the track in 3yo+ Mdn at Geelong last outing. Switching to 1550m. Looks a safer place proposition.

ILB

Odds of $151.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last run at Geelong but will try to take advantage of the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Looking elsewhere.

Yet to get his head in front after 11 starts; beaten 13l at Geelong over 1m1f (maiden) two weeks ago; this looks a fair heat so easy enough to take on.

RSIS

Was 150/1 and didn't threaten when 7th last start at Geelong but can find a nice position from the draw. Has early pace and positions nicely.

Resuming (26-weeks). Ex C Maher in Victoria. Given some time to grow and mature after some mediocre runs in first two preps. Big watch under new trainer.

ILB

First up from a break of 26 weeks. Faded to finish 14th last time at Flemington but lining up against easier rivals. First start for a new trainer. Respect the betting.

Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; finished out the back in a Listed race (Flemington) six months ago upped to 1m6f; returns from an absence here; first run for trainer; should not be far away now dropping in class and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

RSIS

First run back from a 26 week break. Didn't find the line when 14th last start at Flemington but matched against a less competitive field. Change in trainer. Could feature here.

Resuming (17-weeks). Ex Warren Cochrane in Victoria. Limited gelding. Place preferred option fresh in this company.

ILB

First up. Gave away some ground when 11th last start Ballarat Synthetic. Change in trainer. Best to watch and see.

Last of 11 over 7f at Ballarat (maiden) four months ago; returns from a break here; starts out for new trainer; leading claims.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Gave away some ground when 11th last start Ballarat Synthetic. First appearance for a new trainer.

AAP

Let-up (60-days). Had share of chances. Settled back and didn't come on at Ballarat Synthetic. Place preferred option.

ILB

Jumped at $101.00 and disappointing outing when 10th last run Ballarat Synthetic. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to warm to.

Finished tenth of 12 at Ballarat dropped down to this trip two months ago; without a win after 16 attempts; others are preferred as running in what looks to be a hot race.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and underperformed when 10th last time Ballarat Synthetic. Likely to get back in the field.

Resuming (16-weeks). Good signs last start. Sound latest offering and a chance with repeat.

ILB

First up from a break. Zipped home into 2nd last run Ballarat Synthetic and has minimal work to do from the alley. Strong prospects in this race.

Best form so far in last two starts; produced a good effort to finish second at Ballarat in July.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start Ballarat Synthetic and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Must be considered here.

Resuming (13-weeks). Ex Bryan Dowsett in Victoria. Unplaced in all 5 runs to date. Needs to see a betting push at stable debut.

ILB

First up after a break. Started $91.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 10th last run at Murtoa. First race for a new trainer. Expecting to settle positively. Prefer in something easier.

Finished tenth of 12 over 6f at Murtoa (maiden) in July; has not had much racing; first start for new stable; in with a shout.

RSIS

Back from a break. Started 90/1 and weakened to finish 10th last start at Murtoa. First start for a new trainer. Displays good tactical pace.

Let-up (65-days). Failed to threaten on a H10 at Warrnambool over longer test as an outsider. Sound claims fresh in this affair.

ILB

Resuming after a break. Was $71.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last run at Warrnambool and back to a shorter trip. Hard to have.

Finished tailed off at Warrnambool in August upped to 1m2f; excuses last time (tightened for room) and has to be respected.

RSIS

Resuming. At 70/1 tailed off to finish 8th last run at Warrnambool and dropping back to a shorter trip.

Comments

AAP

Ridden cold and picked up late for a distant third in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Bairnsdale. Very fit, can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

Made considerable ground when 3rd last run at Bairnsdale. Watch the betting.

Comfortably beaten finishing third (Bairnsdale) 12 days ago; has displayed improved form on last two starts but 14th attempt to break his duck.

RSIS

Made some ground late when 3rd last start at Bairnsdale. Watch for a sign in the market.

Wiser for debut run

Comments

AAP

Acquitted self well with debut placing at Kilmore 28 Sep. Benefits from the experience. Highly fancied to go one better.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last run at Kilmore and was a debutant last start. Very capable of taking this out.

Not beaten far on her debut at Kilmore at 17-2 last month; will need to progress to get off the mark.

RSIS

Finished well when 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Kilmore and was on debut last time. Will go close.

Odds correct as at 10:01 am AEDT. Odds can change.
