Gelding by Rubick making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on September 24 at Ararat when finished fourth. Betting best guide.

Third-up today. First-up 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Tatura on September 7 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Adieu Grasse with 59.5kg at $7. Second run from a spell raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 in a 4yo+ Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 1 over 1200m, on a wet track; 2.75 len behind Pastoral King carrying 57.5kg at $8. Among the chances.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second last of 10 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw May 16 over 1590m, 9 len behind Midnight Eagle with 59.5kg at $15. When resuming last campaign sixth of 8 at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw January 28 over 1300m, 3 len behind Loud Charlie carrying 58kg at $71. Has run well in better races than this and draws to play a key role.

Four-year-old mare (Atomic - Bint Zaheeya). Craig Weeding has her ready for this with four recent trials prior to her debut today. Finished fifth in a Echuca jump-out on September 21. Jumpouts have been adequate for a race of this nature and draws ideally.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw March 26 over 1400m, soft track; 0.5 len behind She's A Jett carrying 53kg at $21. On debut third of 7 at Dunkeld Mdn-Sw November 15 over 1200m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Doubt In The Sky carrying 56kg at $6.50. Has claims if presented on song.

Mare by Endless Drama facing the starter for the first time. Won a Tatura trial over 1100m on September 30. Won both jumpouts this time in, which suggest she's primed for a big debut.

Mare by Vino Rosso on debut. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Echuca on September 21. Showing promise leading into this, placing most recently in a jump-out at Echuca.

Gelding by Xtravagant making his first appearance. Finished sixth in a Tatura trial over 850m on September 30. Wait for later.

Filly by Frosted facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on September 15 at Donald when finished fifth. Happy to watch off what we've seen at the jumpouts, especially from that gate.

Three-year-old filly (Gold Standard - Blendwell). Patrick Payne has her primed for this with nine recent trials leading in today's debut. Ran 3rd in a Tatura trial over 1100m on September 30. Six trials this time in so should be ready to go.

Resuming after a break of 14 months. Finished off last campaign second last of 10 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw August 30 2025 over 1205m, soft track; 11 len behind Symphonite with 55.5kg at $14. First up last campaign fourth of 12 at Swan Hill 4yo+ Mdn-Sw July 29 2025 over 975m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Bridgeitall carrying 57.5kg at $8. Nine-year-old who's had his share of chances but was a nice trial winner coming into this.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Leeton on September 22 over 1150m, 4 len behind Western Lights carrying 55kg at $2.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Gundagai on September 6 over 1400m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Passing Through with 57kg at $4.80. Might struggle again.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign fourth of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw June 30 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Circus Lights carrying 57.5kg at $12. Previously first up; fourth of 8 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw April 21 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Kilmer with 54kg at $4.40. Looks all set for a effective return.

Dual acceptor. Last start 3rd of 8 in a Mdn at Jerilderie on September 26 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Nicked Away carrying 56kg at $7. The run before that 4th of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Pooncarie on September 19 over 1200m, 10 len behind Le Glacon with 57kg at $6. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
