Positive
Shown something in last few runs
AAP
Seasoned performer. Brave on-pace performance at Rosehill and loves it here. Drawn well and should get every chance. Rates highly.
ILB
Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last start at Rosehill and will try to take advantage of the draw. Strong chance.
RP
C&D has proven suitable before; wasn't disgraced when third of eight at Rosehill over 7½f (Group 2) last month; this represents an easier task than his previous race; he's a serious player.
RSIS
Big effort to place 3rd last time at Rosehill and gets a favourable stall. Going well of late. Expected to be competitive.

Has won 2 from 4 when third up
AAP
4 weeks since last run. Failed to flatter this course when second-up in G1 company. Fitter for those two runs and ready to show best. Must be considerd.
ILB
Faded away to finish 14th last time at this venue. Should improve here and competing at a lower grade. Strong performer at this trip. Will not be far away.
RP
Has won here; finished towards the rear in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes last month upped to this trip; this represents an easier task than his previous race; third, albeit some way off the winner, two starts back and could have a say.
RSIS
Didn't find the line when 14th last start here. Expecting improvement and suited at this trip historically. Has been racing in stronger company. Should go well.

Positive
Has won 3 from 6 when resuming
AAP
Resuming (21-weeks). Prepared for return with 3 trials. Has early speed. Can make his presence felt fresh in this affair.
ILB
First up after 21 weeks and ran on strongly to win first up last preparation at Rosehill. Has shown early pace in races to date. Others much better.
RP
Fifth in May, only beaten half a length, in a Group 3 at Doomben; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 9-30) but largely disappointing since successful in a Group 3 at Rosehill in January; returns from a break here; meeting some horses in good form and can be taken on.
RSIS
Resuming and finished with purpose when winning resuming last preparation at Rosehill. Displays good tactical pace. Have to respect the form at the trip. Challenged by more formidable competitors.

Poor strike rate when first up
AAP
Resuming (24-weeks). 6th & 5th at recent jump-outs. Fresh record is sound. Can fill the minors here in this line-up.
ILB
First up from a spell. Started $12.00 and crept into 5th last run at Bendigo. Expected to settle towards the tail. Looks hopeful at best.
RP
Far from disgraced (beaten 1l) at Bendigo over 1m (Listed handicap) in May; has won over C&D; returns from a break here; this demands more than last time so passed over.
RSIS
Racing fresh after a break. At 11/1 picked up some ground to run 5th last time at Bendigo. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

Has won 3 from 6 when third up
AAP
Experienced campaigner. Gave solid chase in a good effort this venue when second-up. All the better, can play a role.
ILB
Jumped at $12.00 and improved when 4th last start at the track. Small possibility.
RP
C&D has proven suitable before; finished fourth but only beaten 1½l last month in a Listed race; ought to be competitive if backing up last run and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.
RSIS
Started 11/1 and showed some merit late when 4th last start at this venue.

AAP
Odds of $21 when made the frame at Flemington 3 Oct. Super fit from racing, warrants attention.
ILB
Hit the line well when 3rd last start at Flemington. Should be going forward early. Will need its best to find a place.
RP
Finished third when beaten 2½l in front of Amenable at Flemington two weeks ago in a Listed handicap; C&D has proven suitable before; might have a say despite being up in class and his latest run was promising.
RSIS
Displayed good finishing pace when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at Flemington. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

AAP
Failed to threaten (wide draw) at Cranbourne off spell following market easing. Lacks appeal here.
ILB
On a short back up. Jumped at $41.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 11th last start at Cranbourne but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. A long shot.
RP
Finished 11th of 12 over 6f at Cranbourne (handicap) last week; wins have come at a lower level and has struggled to factor since winning a Listed handicap at Sale 12 months ago; facing a tougher assignment than last time, has questions to answer.
RSIS
On a quick turnaround. Started at 40/1 and was well beaten when 11th last start at Cranbourne but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw.

Poor strike rate when first up
AAP
First-up (18-weeks). Last time out won the Swan Hill Cup back in June. Placed at Hobart first-up last campaign. This looks a sterner test.
ILB
Resuming after a break. Finished well when winning last time at Swan Hill and getting better in recent performances. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Will have to carry more weight. Hard to recommend with any confidence.
RP
Narrow success in a handicap (Swan Hill) in June; successful eight times from 33 career runs but yet to win a race of this value; returns from a break here; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this looks tougher than last time.
RSIS
First run back after a break. Strong effort to the line to win last time at Swan Hill and displaying improvement over the past few runs.

AAP
Worked home okay without threatening at Flemington second-up. Worth a look here third-up.
ILB
At $12.00 picked up some late ground when 4th last start at Flemington. Marginal prospect.
RP
Has never won a race of this value and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); finished just behind Zou Sensation when fourth in a Listed handicap at Flemington 14 days ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role given likely tougher test.
RSIS
Odds of 11/1 and edged past some when finishing 4th last time at Flemington.
