Makes his debut off two trials, the latest a close second at Ararat, which gives him some race-readiness for a first appearance. He is a $4,750 purchase and the stable's small debut sample has yet to produce a placegetter, so the market may be the best guide. Profile is light against race-fit maidens, so the market may be the best guide.

Backs up after 10 days following a Sale fourth in a Mdn, where he jumped awkwardly, was tightened early, led into the straight and was beaten just under two lengths by Rough Enuff. That followed a Geelong second to Hedjet, and he has placed four times from five starts around this distance. Wide draw is the query, but he looks a major winning chance.

Second-up after a sound third at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Merry Chase after being held up passing the 200m. His only other start was a heavy-track debut at Pakenham where he was well beaten after covering ground and laying in. The first try around 1454m is the test, but he has upside.

Returns from a three-month break after a debut fifth at Ballarat Synthetic, where he was slow away, settled back and covered ground before making some late inroads. His trials have been mixed since, though an earlier placing suggests he has more to offer. Trials are mixed, but John Allen helps and he can improve into a placing.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a Cranbourne trial win behind him and the first-time blinkers going on. He was last seen in the Listed ANZAC Day Stakes, where he was wide and beaten just over nine lengths, while his debut fourth at Pakenham in a Mdn was much more relevant to this. His maiden debut run reads well and he is the one to beat.

Last start 4th of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on October 15 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Black Aces with 57kg at $26. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on September 14 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Extreme Turbo with 57kg at $7.50. Might struggle again.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a moderate sixth first-up at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten just under six lengths with no obvious excuse. She has won a Pakenham Synthetic trial and the first-time blinkers are a positive gear change, while her record around this distance includes two placings from three attempts. Blinkers go on and she has placed around this trip, so improvement can put her in the mix.

Has been holding her form without winning, most recently finishing fifth at Echuca when beaten just over a length after making good ground from midfield. Her Bendigo fourth prior was also solid at Mdn level, and barrier 1 with a 1.5kg claim gives her a suitable set-up. Distance record keeps her in the place bracket.

Makes her debut with two trials behind her, the latest a close third at Horsham. Mitchell Freedman's debut statistics are sound, but this filly is still a $2,250 purchase with no race-day evidence and draws out in barrier 10. Stable can ready one, but barrier 10 and no race form make this a tough debut.

Back after six weeks since an eighth on debut at Geelong, where he started big odds, raced keenly in the middle stages and was beaten four and a half lengths by Discover Lupino. His latest Flemington trial was a close third and his pedigree has depth as a half brother to Listed winner War Eternal. Pedigree is interesting, but he was big odds and plain first time out.

Third-up now after a Mornington sixth in metro company, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds after beginning slowly and giving away a start. His debut at the same venue was better, beaten just under three lengths after making ground and striking some mid-race interference. Earlier debut run gives him minor-place claims.

Gets to the third run of the campaign after finishing fifth at this track in a Mdn, beaten five lengths at 51-1 after racing keenly and being steadied near the 1300m. That was an improvement on a Bendigo debut where he was beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Must lift again.

Has taken small steps forward, finishing sixth at this track last start on soft ground when beaten three and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. Her Kilmore debut was clearly inferior, with no late impact after settling back. Others appeal more.
