AAP

Handy, knuckled down with purpose at Bairnsdale when subject of plunge. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Bairnsdale. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can win.

RSIS

Ran on when 2nd last run at Bairnsdale. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned. Good chance at a nice price.

AAP

Went close at Wodonga 15 Sep. Ridden back and never a factor at Kilmore. Smoky place prospect at best.

ILB

Odds of $31.00 and below par when 9th last time at Kilmore. Displays good tactical speed. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

RSIS

Was 30/1 and average performance when 9th last run at Kilmore. Should muster plenty of early toe.

Was a long way from the action in 1400m 3yo+ (Bm62) at Cranbourne. Rough exotics hope.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Started $13.00 and subpar when 7th last run at Cranbourne but facing a weaker grade. Has minimal work to do from the alley. Genuine claims.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Started at 12/1 and lacklustre showing when 7th last time at Cranbourne but will find this grade easier. Gets the perfect draw. Has definite claims.

Determined effort to secure victory at Kilmore. Placed only other run at Yarra Glen. Well placed to run another big race.

ILB

Picked up late to win last start at Kilmore. Will be positive in the run early. Good chance of taking this out.

RSIS

Finished with purpose when winning last run at Kilmore. Should be going forward early. Will go close.

AAP

Resuming (23-weeks). Can make his presence felt fresh in this affair.

ILB

Resuming from a spell. Jumped at $5.50 and got going late when 5th last run at Mornington but will be dropping in distance. Not likely to pull off the victory.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Was 9/2 and ran past a few when 5th last time at Mornington but will be dropping in distance.

AAP

Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Morphettville. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Jumped at $151.00 and ordinary performance when 9th last start at Morphettville but has been racing in stronger company. Can't have in this.

RSIS

At 150/1 below par performance when 9th last run at Morphettville but matched against lesser competition.

Stationed midfield and never landed a blow at Morphettville 10 Oct. Worth a look.

ILB

At $11.00 struggled with the pace when 10th last run at Morphettville but facing less formidable opponents. Should be going forward early. Rising in weight. Has some claims.

RSIS

At 10/1 didn't attack the line when 10th last start at Morphettville but facing weaker opposition. Has plenty of early pace. Will have to carry extra weight. Should not be left out of your thoughts.

Well back and never a factor at Kilmore off long break. Awkwardly drawn.

ILB

Started at $101.00 and fairly underwhelming when 10th last time at Kilmore. Might be ridden for luck. Unlikely to feature.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and fairly underwhelming when 10th last run at Kilmore. Gets back and needs luck.

Off the speed, picked up soundly and wasn't beaten far at Hamilton. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Odds of $18.00 and inched into 4th last time at Hamilton. Large claim helps. Prefer a race with softer competition.

RSIS

Was 17/1 and closed off nicely when 4th last start at Hamilton. Liana Wood takes a large claim.

AAP

Ex M A Bell in Victoria. Winless since 11 Oct 2024. Failed to threaten in sodden conditions at Moe over longer assignment at longer odds.

ILB

Fresh after a break. Jumped at $20.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last time at Moe and back in trip. Racing for a new trainer. Very unlikely.

RSIS

Fresh today. At 19/1 weakened to finish 10th last start at Moe and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Racing for a new trainer.

AAP

Battled home okay at Kilmore for new stable. Drawn to get a soft run. Deep into his campaign, could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Started $19.00 and faded to finish 7th last run at Kilmore. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could feature here.

RSIS

Was 18/1 and didn't find the line when 7th last run at Kilmore. Shows good early pace. Has some claims.

Reasonable effort without seriously threatening at Kilmore. Has an adverse draw. Others carry more punch.

ILB

Odds of $26.00 and made up ground when 4th last time at Kilmore. Betting is the best guide.

RSIS

At 25/1 made up ground when 4th last time at Kilmore.

AAP

Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Avoca. Can play a role.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Started at $4.80 and weakened under pressure when 7th last start at Avoca but can find a nice position from the draw. Can't leave out of your calculations.

RSIS

On a short back up. At 4/1 lost ground in the run home when 7th last start at Avoca but gets a favourable stall. Watch for a sign in the market.

AAP

Well back and never sighted at Bairnsdale at healthy odds. One for exotics.

ILB

Jumped at $19.00 and was well beaten when 11th last start at Bairnsdale. Has early speed and positions nicely. Watch the betting.

RSIS

Odds of 18/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 11th last run at Bairnsdale. Displays good tactical pace. Not at all out of this race.

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