Returns from a lengthy spell after placing at both starts in his first campaign, most recently third at Bendigo when beaten two and a half lengths by Path Of Heroes after working home evenly. Strong claims if he finishes off fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the strongest exposed maiden profile, having filled second at all three starts. He was a short odds-on favourite when beaten a length by Signed By A Kiss in a Mdn at Kilmore, with the held-up patch adding merit to the run, and he had been beaten a nose there the start prior. Consistent profile and clearly the one to beat.

Has been well beaten at both recent starts, finishing second last at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths by Merry Chase after settling back and making no ground. He was unwanted in the market when tenth at Albury the run prior, and his 12-start maiden record is a clear concern. Race fit, but a major turnaround is required.

Made a sound debut in a Mdn at Echuca, finishing third and beaten two and a half lengths by Daynes Dahwun after travelling well and working home evenly. The stewards noted he raced keenly through the middle stages, so first-time blinkers are an important gear change. New trip is the query, but he has upside.

Back after a six-week freshening following an eighth at Swan Hill, where she began awkwardly, covered ground and made some late impression without threatening Mcphillips. Her only other start was in the Listed Merson Cooper Stakes at Caulfield, where she was second last at big odds. Listed debut adds context, but she has to improve.

Second-up after a debut sixth in a F Mdn at Ballarat, where she was near the top of betting and beaten only three and a half lengths by Miss Dividend despite being steadied approaching the 100m. That gives the run a little more merit than the finishing position suggests. Clear improver second-up.

Makes her debut with limited race evidence to assess, though she has trialled at Pakenham a few weeks ago and had four trials in total. She was a $140,000 yearling purchase, and Charlotte Littlefield's debut figures provide some encouragement. Watch betting, but others bring stronger race form.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain debut at Pakenham, where she started at big odds and finished last, beaten over 15 lengths by Ladhar, after racing back and covering ground. The stable has given her three trials since, including a Cranbourne trial win a few weeks ago, so she may return more prepared. Improvement has to come in race conditions.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth in a F Mdn at Ballarat on debut, beaten just over six lengths by Aroused after being close enough at the turn. She was only an outside chance in betting that day, but first-time blinkers and a close third in her latest Flemington trial give her a more interesting profile. Can play a leading role.

Started favourite on debut in a Mdn at Echuca and finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths by Daynes Dahwun after sitting close enough but failing to finish the race off. Barrier 1, Damian Lane and first-time blinkers are all positives for the second run, though 1103m is new. Better placed to run into the money.

Tired badly after leading at Seymour last start, finishing 11th and beaten over 11 lengths on soft ground at big odds, with no clear excuse in the run. His Echuca debut was much better, when third as odds-on favourite after being run down late, but he has to rebound sharply. Race-fit third-up and can show more, provided he puts that last run behind him.

Led and was run down late when second at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after being sent out favourite. That followed another honest second at Moe on heavy ground, where he travelled well and fought on behind Too Tough. The query is converting that consistency into a win after being beaten favourite.

Resumes after four months off with a Flemington trial win to suggest he has some fitness on his side. He was fourth at Seymour before the break after jumping awkwardly, beaten five and a half lengths, while his Geelong run prior had merit after he was held up passing the 350m. Barrier one helps only if he finds more late.

Resumes after five months off following a strong Sale third, beaten just over half a length on heavy ground after settling back and finishing hard. His Bendigo debut also had merit after a slow beginning, and two trials since last racing, including a close second at Flemington, should have him ready. With Damian Lane on, he brings the right profile to win.

Resumes after three months off with first-time blinkers and a Ballarat trial win since his only race start. He was odds-on favourite on debut at Ballarat Synthetic but finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths, after being close enough and only holding his ground. Debut as odds-on favourite was below expectation, so improvement is required.

Resumes after six months off with a Cranbourne trial win and first-time blinkers and visor, so there are clear reasons to expect a sharper return. He was fifth on debut at Pakenham, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds after jumping awkwardly and covering ground. Debut had enough merit after covering ground; strong winning chance fresh.

Was last at Cranbourne last start, beaten just under six lengths at big odds, but he covered ground and was left with too much to do. His Sale debut was far more encouraging, beaten only a long neck after being near the top of betting and working home solidly. Forgive the wide Cranbourne run, but the Sale debut is the form he must repeat.

Was slowly away and never a factor on debut at Cranbourne, finishing second last and beaten five and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had trialled before that campaign start, but there was no clear excuse in the race and the wide barrier adds no appeal. Second-up improvement is possible, but stronger claims sit elsewhere.

Makes his debut after several Pakenham trials, most recently a fifth over 1000m a few weeks ago. He is a $10,000 weanling purchase from a family with Private Council as a city winner, but there is no race evidence to lean on and the stable debut numbers supplied are modest. Draws well, but the available profile is limited and he looks a longer-term prospect.

Made a sound debut at Ballarat over 1000m, finishing fifth and beaten just over two lengths after being slow to begin and making ground without threatening. First-time blinkers can help her focus, and she has the pedigree depth of a half sister to Group 1 winner Shamal Wind. New 1203m trip is the query, but she can improve.

Placed on debut at Cranbourne, finishing third and beaten four and a half lengths after settling back and only battling on, with a stewards note that she was eased near the 700m. She was respected near the top of an open market and comes from a strong Ciaron Maher yard. Untried at 1203m, but has upside.

Debuts off a Seymour trial win and has had two trials in all, so she has at least shown some readiness away from raceday. The available profile is otherwise light, including a $1,250 purchase and no supplied race evidence from the family to build a strong case. Not here.

Dropped out late at Ballarat last start over 1400m, finishing eighth and beaten eight lengths after settling handy. Her Kilmore third prior was better, though she again tired after travelling well, and she now comes back to a trip where she has placed once from one try. Others look sharper.

Finished fourth on debut at Kilmore, beaten five and a half lengths after travelling near the speed and failing to finish it off. First-time blinkers are the obvious attempt to sharpen her second-up, and she did have earlier trial exposure before racing. Improvement is possible, but she has ground to make up.
