9 Crown Moshe (Bet Now:  $SP.00) deserves another look. Hickmott/Riggs trained mare that ran here last Saturday when wide no cover on speed for the trip and that hard run just told late in the piece behind Prophet’s Choice. The stable should always be respected when they back them up and overall, I don’t think this is an overly deep race.

4 Our Shining Star (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is knocking on the door for Team Jolly. Ran on the Parks track several weeks back where I thought she was given every chance by Crowther and presented to win but couldn’t quite get there, running second to Demando. Racing consistently and should be around the mark. Backing her to win is another matter.

2 Disco Tilmorn (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes here off a win so she commands some level of respect. Lot of quality about her win four weeks back at Warracknabeal when wide no cover but she was trucking in the run and once clicked up, she drew clear late and was dominant in the run to the line. Good record here and off a win, she is certainly in with a shout.

10 Episodic (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks a coming maiden winner and think it comes here. First run for Clarken/O’Shea came two weeks ago here when back in the run and just spotted those in front too much head start but loved the way she found the line late in the piece behind Bulls On Parade. Might want one more and 1200m+, but off the return, she has to rate as hard to beat here.

7 Utilitarian (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a son of Reward For Effort that debuts for Michael Hickmott. This guy trialled last week at Murray Bridge and although he ran third, I thought he ran quite well and seemingly had plenty in hand. There is a bit of depth to this maiden but stable is in form so watch the market.

9 Cararada (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has had numerous chances to break the maiden status but is an honest type that should be around the mark. That was the case when resuming four weeks ago, getting the suck run in transit and presented to win but couldn’t quite get there when third to Braveman’sgame. Fresh legs and back to 1100m, she’ll run well.

12 Togetherforever (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is on top for me. Daughter of Impending that is on debut for Michael Hickmott. Her latest trial came late last month at Stawell when running second to Perfect Costa beaten a length but I thought had something in reserve, and the stable has been flying in these metro races. Lorrensini rode in the trial and he sticks for start one.

4 Royal Handed (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should run well on debut. Clarken/O’Shea trains this son of Ambidexter, that has trialled up quite nicely on multiple occasions in readiness for start one, the latest coming just over two weeks ago at Gawler when winning. Lands in a plum spot from the inside gate and for mine, only runs well.

3 Losesomewinmore (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a son of All Too Hard for Team Jolly that is on debut. This guy won a trial at Gawler the same morning as Royal Handed and although the overall time was much slower, I thought he ran really well under not much pressure and won like a horse that had something in hand. I think watch the market and see what it does.

1 Montepulciano (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a straight bat option for me. He is five weeks between runs for Team Jolly since racing over 1800m here where he was good from off the speed, kept on finding the line but was no match late for the then in form Silent Don. He does seem to race best on the fresh side so the break between runs is no issue and up in trip, he appeals.

4 Oath Of Omerta (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is third up from a spell and should just about be at peak fitness. He comes through the Exalted Fire race from several weeks back where he wasn’t really suited by the sit/sprint and while he was never a threat, he stuck on and was solid enough in defeat behind Exalted Fire. Might want one more, but he has more upside than most and will be strong at the end.

5 Does It (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is working up to a win I feel and it wouldn’t shock me if it came here. He comes through the Insulation race from a gew weeks back here where he got back in the field and made up ground, but couldn’t quite get there behind the Moody stayer. Racing like a rise in trip will suit and the depth, as a whole, is a bit on the thin side.

1 Angry Skies… (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is he getting close to D-Day? I am saying yes. This time last year, he was being talked up as a Caulfield Guineas contender…what a difference 12 months can make. The wheels have fallen off since, his latest run being at the midweeks at Sandown where he was back and wide, finding the line well enough. Better luck in running, he’ll take beating against this average bunch.

10 Red Roof (Bet Now:  $SP.00) isn’t far off another win IMO. He ran over this track/distance a fortnight back and was very good from the back on a day where up/in was the spot to be, closing off nicely behind Texan Windstorm. He doesn’t have the best of racing patterns but if he can get a drag into the race, I am sure he’ll be effective late.

9 Rubini (Bet Now:  $SP.00) doesn’t have a great overall record but that said, he is racing in solid enough form at the moment and is a must for multiples. He ran two weeks back in the Texan Windstorm race where he got off the speed and seemed to get a decent enough run in transit. He tried hard but couldn’t quite get there. First four contender for sure.

At the time of writing this preview there was no jockey booking for 12 Sixteen Reasons (Bet Now:  $SP.00) but I do hope she runs here because she is flying IMO. Ran two weeks ago over 1050m here where she got back to near last in the run on a day where up/in was dynamite, so the fact she got so close, the run was full of merit. If the inside gate is used to advantage, I think she only runs well.

4 Brave Star (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is three weeks between runs for Phillip Stokes since racing over 1250m on the Parks track where he was just off the speed throughout in landing 1/1 and presented to win but was simply no match late for the very much in form Storm Hunter. Been up a little while but only has to hold his form to be around the mark.

3 Sparkup (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is suited on the course proper and I think can run a much improved race. He ran three weeks back on the Parks track where he got back off the speed and tried to make up ground but was never really a factor behind the in form Alpine Flyer. Like him back onto the bigger track…think at odds, he can be dangerous.

4 The Silent Sermon (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks to be in for a good prep. This guy had specking at odds when resuming at Warrnambool. He got back to near last in the run and was a fair way off them but did finish off his race quite strongly behind Veloce Carro. Good second up record and if he can settle closer in the run, he’ll take beating I am sure.

7 Lord Luker (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is bursting to win a race. Clarken/O’Shea trained gelding that ran last Saturday on the Parks track where he ran his race in patches. For a stride, he looked the winner. Next stride, he was one paced and then very late, he picked up and found the line again to finish third. Think back to 1200m is ideal and if he gets a drag into the race, be within range, he’ll take beating.

1200m is a slight query with 3 Midnight Rush (Bet Now:  $SP.00) but he does have the talent to overcome it. He ran a fortnight back over 1050m here where he was off the speed and chasing from a fair way out. He never threatened but made up headway in a solid effort behind Lonrodex. Think with an economical run in transit, 1200m is okay and commands respect.

3 Bolted In (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks hard to beat first up. Matty Seyers trained three year old that resumes, having not raced since July 1 at Murray Bridge when producing an end of prep run, beaten several lengths by a Stakes winning filly, Dubenenko. Has trialled well to get ready for the return and the grounding is there to say he’s forward enough.

4 Ana Jaahza (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Team Hayes filly that is first up and has the runs on the board to say she’s hard to beat here. She had a two run prep in the Autumn to start her career, winning on debut at Ballarat before placing at The Valley behind a nice horse, Brave Mead. Jumpout work has been strong, finds a winnable race and gets in very well after the claim.

7 Give Some Lip (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Clarken/O’Shea trained son of Rubick that resumes. This guy hasn’t raced since his debut on the Parks track here back in March when running last in a field of five behind I Am Unstoppable. Just one soft jumpout and trial to get ready for the return but I do respect the stable and overall, this race is on the thin side. Strong raceday form, he has to be respected.

Gee 9 Taunting (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks ready to rock and roll. Michael Hickmott trained gelding that resumes, having not raced since the Bel Esprit in late May when producing an end of prep run, finishing down the track behind Pintoff. He is a good fresh horse but looks wound up given how sharp he trialled last week at Murray Bridge. Hopefully the market agrees with me in saying he’s ready to go.

2 Hypothetical (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks extremely hard to beat. Team Freedman trains this mare, that resumed three weeks ago at The Valley in the Carlyon and was good from off the speed, albeit never a winning threat to beating dominant all the way winner Acromentula. Good second up record, kind map, in well at the weights…she only runs well.

10 Grey River (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Jon O’Connor trained mare that resumes. This girl is first up, having not raced since June 3 at Flemington over 1400m when near the speed throughout and presented to win but couldn’t quite finish it off behind Brung King. Better suited over a bit further but in a fast run 1100m, I think she will be one of the strongest at the end.

3 Lomax (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is the way I am leaning but not a whole lot of confidence. He is over three weeks between runs since racing over 2000m at Murray Bridge where he got back to near last in the run and did make up solid ground but just missed out on the win when a narrow second to Chartin. He has an awful racing pattern but can zoom home if things eventuate. Hopefully it does.

2 Flyway (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is on the seven day back up for Scott Westover after racing last Saturday on the Parks track where he got back in the run and was very good late behind impressive winner Connemara Queen. That was his first run in a month so fitter, back up in trip, ideal map, think it all points to him running another positive race.

5 Six Foot Song (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should appreciate coming back in trip for John Macmillan. He is over three weeks between runs since racing over 2000m at Murray Bridge in the Chartin race mentioned above. He ran his usual honest race but just didn’t really run the trip out. Like him back to the mile and should be strong at the end.

BEST BET: Race Two Number 10 Episodic
