AAP

Sent forward but flat-footed when things got serious at Moe when second-up. Can control the race.

ILB

Back from a let up. Jumped at $4.40 and tailed off to finish 6th last start at Moe. Giving another go here. Should race on the speed. Chance and can measure up.

RSIS

Let up. Odds of 10/3 and gave away some ground when 6th last time at Moe. Expecting improvement and drawn nicely. Has early pace and positions nicely. Good chance and definitely has claims.

AAP

Led, gave up the ghost quickly in 3yo+ (Bm62) at Cranbourne. Has early speed. Look for a better showing.

ILB

Was well beaten when 7th last time at Cranbourne. Looking for an improved run and will find this grade easier. Large claim helps. Should feature prominently.

RSIS

Faded away to finish 7th last run at Cranbourne. Likely to bounce back and challenged by less formidable competitors. Chelsea Thompson provides some weight relief. Strong competitor.

AAP

First-up (14-weeks). Could give some cheek at odds fresh in this company.

ILB

First up after a break. Was $26.00 and struggled with the pace when 11th last time at Cranbourne but up against a less competitive field. Displays good tactical speed. Can surprise at a nice price.

RSIS

Resumes after a break. Started 25/1 and struggled with the pace when 11th last start at Cranbourne but challenged by weaker competitors. Won't be far away during the run.

AAP

Resuming (18-weeks). Ex S S Cunningham in Victoria. Has run well fresh while warmed up with an impressive trial. Has some claims fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up and won narrowly first up last preparation at Carrathool. First appearance for a new trainer and matched against lesser competition. Has drawn to do little work. Good chance at a nice price.

RSIS

Resuming and won narrowly by a head resuming last preparation at Carrathool. Coming to a new trainer and facing less formidable opponents. Expect a forward showing.

Unable to make an impression at Pakenham Synthetic. Makes strong appeal.

ILB

Odds of $101.00 and didn't attack the line when 4th last start at Pakenham Synthetic but facing a weaker group of contenders. Limited possibility.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and tailed off to finish 4th last start at Pakenham Synthetic but facing weaker opposition.

Fought bravely to the wire in the 3yo+ (Bm56) at Bairnsdale. Very fit, can make his presence felt if things pan out.

ILB

Ran on when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Bairnsdale. Will be tested.

RSIS

Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 1L last time at Bairnsdale.

There to threaten just couldn't quite finish it off at Ballarat. On pacer. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Started $9.50 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start at Ballarat. Capable of bouncing back. Has early speed and positions nicely. Good prospects.

RSIS

Was 17/2 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Ballarat. Can make a comeback. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

First-up (24-weeks). Ended last prep in ordinary fashion. Looks a risk fresh.

ILB

Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $31.00 and ran 8th last time at Wangaratta and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Should come to hand quickly. Cannot make a case for.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. At 30/1 ran 8th last time at Wangaratta and will be down in distance. Has plenty of early pace. Gets some weight taken off.

Prominent to 400m but threw the towel in quickly at Ballarat Synthetic second-up. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

At $71.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time Ballarat Synthetic. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

RSIS

Started 70/1 and looked outclassed when 8th last time Ballarat Synthetic.

AAP

Had all before him at turn and went home tamely at Wagga Riverside when second-up. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Odds of $18.00 and uncompetitive when 7th last start at Wagga. Might be ridden for luck. Can't have in this.

RSIS

Odds of 17/1 and not in contention when 7th last run at Wagga. Likely to get back.

Comments

AAP

Out of the placings but still acquitted herself well at Lockhart off long break. New to Yarra Glen. Picnic form.

ILB

Was $6.50 and mediocre attempt when 4th last run at Lockhart but gets a reduction in weight. Should muster plenty of early toe. This field likely to be too good.

RSIS

Started 11/2 and lacked competitiveness when 4th last run at Lockhart but will benefit with the weight drop. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

Odds correct as at 1:51 am AEDT. Odds can change.
