Comments

AAP

Not disgraced at Warrnambool at $15. Hard fit, capable of making an impact.

ILB

Started $15.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at Warrnambool. Has some claims.

RP

Not won for some time now; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Warrnambool (beaten just over 3l) over 6f (handicap) 11 days ago; this looks a decent race so looks risky.

RSIS

Started at 14/1 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at Warrnambool. Has some claims.

Comments

AAP

Midfield, let down intently into the placings at Albury. Major player here despite big impost.

ILB

Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Albury but up in weight. Should go very close.

RP

String of consistent efforts of late; third when evens over 6f at Albury (handicap) in front of Kazotsky two weeks ago; should give it a bold bid.

RSIS

Solid effort to run into 3rd last run at Albury but rises in weight. Must respect.

Comments

AAP

First-up (17-weeks). In the minors at Corowa first-up last campaign while having an easy trial in readiness. Can make his presence felt fresh in this affair.

ILB

First up from a break of 17 weeks and good run when finishing 3rd beaten by 1L first up last preparation at Corowa. Should muster plenty of early speed. A difficult test here.

RP

No impression when eighth of nine over 6f at Ballarat (handicap) four months ago; has taken a step forward the last twice; this just his second run in a handicap; returning from a layoff here; others are preferred with a few rivals in good form.

RSIS

Resuming and finished strongly when 3rd resuming last preparation at Corowa. Has early pace and positions nicely. Interesting to see the blinkers go off for the first time.

AAP

Resuming (20-weeks). Form solid last time in. Landed F&M (Bm66) win Wagga 1 May. Proven fresh performer while given some soft trial work for return.

ILB

First up and flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L first up last preparation at this venue. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw.

RSIS

Resuming and ran home into 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L resuming last preparation at the track. Has the necessary pace to overcome the wide draw.

AAP

Resuming (61-weeks). Held form well last time in. In the minors first-up last campaign. Expect will need this off the long spell.

ILB

First up from a break of 61 weeks and finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L first up last preparation at Seymour. Has more weight to carry. Simply cannot have.

RP

Finished eighth, beaten a fair way over 6½f here (handicap) last August; long absence to overcome; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Resuming and claimed a spot in the top three when 2nd resuming last preparation at Seymour. Will have to carry more weight.

Not disgraced at Kyneton first run back. Better for the outing. Warrants attention.

ILB

Jumped at $16.00 and finished 6th last start at Kyneton. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Not at all out of this race.

RP

Not disgraced when sixth at Kyneton 18 days ago; others more likely as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

RSIS

Started 15/1 and finished 6th last time at Kyneton. Should jump out and bowl along. Watch for a sign in the market.

Unhurried early and only battled home at Mildura. Must respect trainer and jockey combination.

ILB

At $3.70 chased well when 4th last time at Mildura. Rates as one of the key chances.

RP

Not beaten too far when fourth of seven over 5f at Mildura (handicap) 20 days ago; this looks a fair heat so looks risky.

RSIS

Started 11/4 and improved when 4th last start at Mildura. Solid prospects.

AAP

Recaptured winning form with a strong victory at Deniliquin. This will test his mettle.

ILB

Got the prize when winning by 1L last start at Deniliquin and gets a favourable draw. Large claim helps and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will need to find a new peak in this.

RP

Returned to winning ways at Deniliquin over 6f (handicap) nine days ago, getting the job done by 1l; has won at this course; not hard to turn elsewhere despite that win last time.

RSIS

Landed the spoils when winning by 1L last run at Deniliquin and gets a favourable draw. Thomas Spillane provides some weight relief and form has been improving over recent runs.

Sent back to last and safely held in the small field at Morphettville. Awkwardly drawn. Poor SP profile.

ILB

Started $51.00 and faded to finish 7th last time at Morphettville but facing a weaker group of contenders. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Prefer to watch.

RP

Finished last of seven at Morphettville two weeks ago; not had much racing - third outing here; unexposed in handicaps with this his second start in this company; should be involved given he won a maiden two runs back.

RSIS

Was 50/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last start at Morphettville but facing a weaker grade. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw.

First-up (19-weeks). Tends to race well first-up without winning while showing enough in recent trials. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Fresh today after a break. Odds of $5.50 and ran 6th last run at Narrandera. Fitter for a trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th. Entitled to be big odds.

RP

Missed the frame (beaten 7l into sixth) over 6f at Narrandera (handicap) in June; has winning track form; returning from a layoff here; passed over with a few rivals in good form.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Was 9/2 and finished 6th last start at Narrandera. Finished 3rd in a trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th.

Failed to threaten at Seymour second-up as an outsider. Keener on others.

ILB

Started $61.00 and didn't threaten when 10th last start at Seymour. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Prefer in an easier race.

RP

Towards the rear of 13 at Seymour over 5f (handicap) two weeks ago; capable of going well despite defeats on last two starts as she scored three runs back.

RSIS

Started 60/1 and struggled with the pace when 10th last run at Seymour. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time.

Resuming (19-weeks). Placed at Berrigan first-up last campaign. FInished second in recent Wodonga jumpout. May need this.

ILB

First up and finished 3rd first up last preparation at Berrigan. Ran 8th in a barrier trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th but coming back in trip. Will be facing a challenge.

RP

Has struggled to factor since winning a handicap at Tocumwal in April; finished sixth, beaten a fair way over 7f at Narrandera (handicap) in June; back from an absence here; not hard to turn elsewhere in what appears to be a competitive contest.

RSIS

Resuming and competitive effort when 3rd resuming last preparation at Berrigan. Ran 8th in a trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th but back to a shorter trip.

AAP

Had excuses at Bairnsdale second up. Sharper now and has upside.

ILB

Started at $1.65 and gave away some ground when 5th last time at Bairnsdale. Should bounce back. Jockey Nadia Daniels and trainer Matt Laurie are a strong team. Serious contender.

RP

Just her third outing so still early days; favourite 14 days ago but failed to deliver when fifth (Bairnsdale) over 6f (handicap); runs for only the second time in a handicap; winner of a maiden two starts ago so too soon to write her off; one to be interested in.

RSIS

Odds of 4/6 and faded to finish 5th last run at Bairnsdale. Expecting improvement here. Jockey Nadia Daniels and trainer Matt Laurie are an imposing duo. Expecting a strong showing.

Out of the frame when seventh over 4½f at Albury (handicap) dropped back in distance 16 days ago; a few rivals look in good form so there are better alternatives here.

Now 4 weeks between runs. Winless since 24 May 2024. Made some headway without troubling at Coleraine. Could add some value to exotics.

ILB

Started at $9.50 and ran on into 5th last time at Coleraine and can save some energy from the draw. Will need to lift.

RP

Can be a player at this level; fair effort when beaten 3l, finishing fifth of ten at Coleraine over 5f (handicap) four weeks ago.

RSIS

Started at 17/2 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last run at Coleraine and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw.

Backing up quickly for this race. Missed by a narrow margin last time at Moe. Might be ridden for luck.

Comments

AAP

Made late rally from the back at Albury. Not fancied.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Jumped at $151.00 and came in 4th last run at Albury. Looking at others.

RP

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Albury (beaten 4l) over 6f (handicap) on Saturday; useful in this grade; often been there or thereabouts lately.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started 150/1 and finished 4th last run at Albury.

Odds correct as at 3:20 am AEDT. Odds can change.
