Resuming (19-weeks). Two quiet trials for return. Others with greater appeal.

ILB

First up from a break of 19 weeks and made no mistakes when winning by 3 3/4L first up last preparation at Geraldton.

RSIS

Resuming and gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 3/4L resuming last preparation at Geraldton.

Well back and made some minor headway but passing mainly tired rivals this course. Fitter and second-up form generally better. Can make her presence felt.

ILB

At $14.00 picked up some ground to run 5th last time around here and up against weaker rivals. Should be going forward early. Drawn nicely. Going up in weight. Can figure in the finish.

Has won here before; not beaten too far when fifth here over 6f (handicap) dropped back in distance on first outing for new trainer 17 days ago; if replicating best previous efforts rates a likely contender.

RSIS

Started 13/1 and outpaced some runners late when 5th last time at this venue and facing weaker opposition. Expecting to settle positively. Can find a nice position from the draw. Can measure up against these.

Led, held on desperately to win at Belmont Park 21 Oct. A few runs under her belt this campaign, one for exotics.

ILB

Controlled the pace when winning by a head last run at Belmont and strong form at the trip. Has the ideal barrier. Rough chance today.

Scored narrowly in a handicap at Belmont Park last month; should not be far away.

RSIS

Set the tempo when winning by a head last run at Belmont and will be well suited at the trip. Drawn the rails.

Ex S J Miller in WA. Not disgraced at Kalgoorlie second-up at $11. All the better, can play a role.

Odds of 10/1 and finished 6th last time at Kalgoorlie but hard to fault at this trip.

Racing in great heart. Engaged pace when a valiant but vanquished second in the 4yo+ (Rs0ly) this course. Maps well. Well into preparation now, not out of this.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Tailed off when 8th last run here but up against a less competitive field. In fine form this campaign and will appreciate a good gate.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Underwhelming when 8th last time here but up against a less competitive field. Producing consistent results lately and has a nice advantage with a good stall.

AAP

Long winning drought. Knuckled down for third this course at double-figure odds. Trained on track but awkwardly drawn and rising in weight. This looks more demanding.

ILB

Flashed home late into 3rd last time at the track and challenged by less formidable competitors. Might be ridden for luck. Remote chance at best.

Creditable effort when 25-1 third over 6f here (handicap) last month; just the one victory on his CV.

RSIS

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last run at this venue and challenged by weaker competitors. Does take a while to get into stride.

Comments

AAP

Last win was 23 Oct 2024. Never better than midfield in the 3yo+ Hcp (C3) at Belmont Park second-up. Lacks appeal here.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Started at $8.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last start at Belmont. Natika Riordan takes a large claim. Could be in the mix.

Been a while since she achieved her only career win and patchy form recently; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Belmont Park (beaten just under 4l) on Wednesday; record suggests she is usually one to take on for win purposes so others make more appeal.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Was 7/1 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last start at Belmont. The large claim from Natika Riordan helps. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Good debut at Northam 27 Aug. Put in some big strides late at Belmont Park for new stable following a market drift. Sharper now, not out of this.

ILB

Good performance to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Belmont. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts. Can go through the gears. Solid chance.

Ran well when beaten less than a length at Belmont Park over 6f (handicap) on first run for this trainer last month; just his third outing so still early days; this only his second start in handicap company; arguably the one to beat.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Belmont. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts of late. Displays very good closing pace. Gets a solid chance here.

Ranged up but punctured late at Northam when second-up. Leads, handy. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Jumped at $26.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last start at Northam. Likely to get back in the field. Large claim helps. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Struggled a bit since winning a handicap at Pinjarra last December; not beaten too far when seventh at Northam over 6½f (handicap) last month; this is competitive and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

At 25/1 looked outclassed when 7th last start at Northam. Likely to get back in the field. Jefferson Tsang provides some weight relief.

Looks a handy type judging by early form. Just missed at Belmont Park 29 Jul. Ran a cracking race when just edged out this course 14 Oct. Well placed to strike.

ILB

Threw down a serious challenge last run at this venue and putting a tidy record together. Should be swooping on the field late. Gets a chance against these.

Beaten a short head here over 6f (handicap) last month; lightly raced (this just her fourth race); also engaged in race 8 at Ascot.

RSIS

Right in contention last time around here and showing consistent performance in races. Should get going late. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Terrific from the wide gate at York. Drawn to get a conservative run. Stronger challenge here but stays under notice.

ILB

Controlled the speed when winning by just over 3L last time at York but challenged by more formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early speed. Goes down in weight. Watch for a sign in the market.

Snapped losing streak when winning with a bit to spare at York over 6½f (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Gave them all something to chase to win by a margin of just over 3L last time at York but racing against tougher rivals. Suited by the weight drop. Not at all out of this race.

Odds correct as at Tue 3 Nov, 5:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
