Comments

AAP

Settled back and didn't figure at his second race start in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Manangatang. All the better, can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

Jumped at $12.00 and disappointing outing when 9th last start at Manangatang. Overlooking the last run. The large claim from Chelsea Thompson helps. Attracts support.

RP

Not had much racing - third outing here; ninth of ten beaten 6l over 7½f at Manangatang (maiden) 21 days ago; likely to be involved.

RSIS

Started at 11/1 and sub-standard effort when 9th last run at Manangatang. Expecting improvement. Large claim helps. Winning potential.

Comments

AAP

Form modest but recent margins offer some encouragement. Finished out the back at Bairnsdale over longer assignment. Coming back in distance. Can play a role.

ILB

Was $8.50 and disappointing run when 8th last time at Bairnsdale and coming back in distance. Expecting a solid performance.

RP

Still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce) and not threatened the judge of late; beaten 18l at Bairnsdale 19 days ago upped to 1m3f; others appeal more.

RSIS

At 15/2 well beaten when 8th last run at Bairnsdale and dropping in distance. Can figure in the finish.

Comments

AAP

Form to date uninspiring. Failed to threaten at Penola second-up at double-figure odds. Significantly up in distance. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Didn't attack the line when 9th last start at Penola but returns to a longer distance. Should come to hand quickly. Low-key chance.

RP

Beaten 9l over 7f at Penola (maiden) 15 days ago; still looking to open his account after six runs; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

RSIS

Gave away some ground when 9th last run at Penola but returning to an increased distance. Expecting to settle positively.

Comments

AAP

Settled back and didn't figure second-up in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Avoca. Can challenge.

ILB

Started $11.00 and below standard effort when 8th last time at Avoca. Should bounce back. Likely to be well placed early. Must respect.

RP

Found life tough when 6l back in eighth 14 days ago at Avoca upped to 1m1f; this just his fourth race; easy to see him making an impression.

RSIS

Odds of 10/1 and underperformed when 8th last run at Avoca. Is capable of a resurgence. Likely to be well placed early. Strong claims.

AAP

Had all before him at turn and went home tamely at Hamilton first up. Strips fitter. Can improve sharply into this.

ILB

Came in 8th last time at Hamilton. Looking past the last run and back to a rise in trip. Jockey Jack Martin is currently in strong form for this stable. Has claims.

RP

Was eighth of 13, beaten 6l, over 7f at Hamilton (maiden) 21 days ago; six-race maiden though does have a second place to his name.

RSIS

Finished 8th last time at Hamilton. Looking past the last run and going back up in distance. Jockey Jack Martin and trainer Andrew Bobbin link well together. Good chance at a nice price.

Comments

AAP

Sent out $51 when never got into the race at Horsham second-up. Coming back in distance. Stripping fitter, sound claims.

ILB

Started $51.00 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last start at Horsham but has a good draw. Unplaced in career. Rough chance today.

RP

Finished sixth, beaten just over 5l, two weeks ago (Horsham) upped to 1m2½f; been out of sorts of late and yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine; stable has been going through a quiet spell; others more appealing.

RSIS

At 50/1 fairly underwhelming when 6th last time at Horsham but has a positive stall. Hasn't fired a shot in 9 starts.

AAP

On a short back-up. Got back when beat tired horses home at St Arnaud. Drops to shorter trip. Hard fit, not out of it.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Was $8.00 and picked up some ground to run 5th last start at St Arnaud. Needs a lot of luck.

RP

Held in fifth at St Arnaud last week upped to 1m2f; may have to settle for supporting role.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. At 7/1 improved late to finish 5th last run at St Arnaud.

AAP

Offered little to catch the eye on debut at Kyneton as an outsider 20 Oct. Better for it. Rise in distance should help. Has upside to make an impact here.

ILB

Was $71.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last run at Kyneton but was on debut last time. Has the ideal draw. Form will be tested here.

RP

Never posed a significant threat on her debut at Kyneton at 66-1 last week; has to be considered.

RSIS

Started 70/1 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time at Kyneton but having second career run. Drawn the rails.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
