AAP

Unraced 4yo gelding a half-brother to Charlevoix. Jump-outs only fair. Look to market for a further guide.

ILB

First appearance at the races 4yo by Tagaloa for Brent Butcher and drawn nicely. Respect the betting.

Already a gelding; first competitive racecourse experience; related to Beachgoer, winning form over 1m2f-1m7f; he should go close as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

Debutant 4yo by Tagaloa for Brent Butcher and has a good draw.

Limited exposure so far for this 4-year-old, who has managed only a 3rd from 4 outings. Dropped out to last and never sighted at Moe first up. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Below par when 10th last start at Moe.

Last of ten over 5½f at Moe (maiden) two weeks ago; four-race maiden but has managed to finish third; now upped in trip and is passed over.

RSIS

Moderate showing when 10th last start at Moe.

Failed to threaten (outside alley) in rain affected going at Bairnsdale first up at healthy odds. Building fitness. Only for the minors here.

ILB

Jumped at $21.00 and made up ground when 5th last start at Bairnsdale. Will find this tough.

Behind Castelli In Aria at Bairnsdale over 6f (maiden) when beaten 9l (fifth of nine) 19 days ago; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 15; others more likely.

RSIS

Was 20/1 and making up some late ground when 5th last run at Bairnsdale.

$150k purchase. Out of a half-sister to G2 winner Santos. Jump-outs have only been fair to date. Odds may prove best guide here.

ILB

4yo by Pierata racing as a debutant for trainer Lloyd Kennewell. Keep your eye on the market.

Related to Texas Open (winner from 4½f up to 7f); racing education begins here for this son of Pierata; might have a say with signs of encouragement in profile.

AAP

Lightly raced and still learning the caper. No match but still very brave in defeat in 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Bairnsdale after lengthy absence. Better for the outing. Rates highly in this affair.

ILB

Good effort to run 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at Bairnsdale and showing consistent performance in races. Has shown early pace in races to date. Tough competitor.

Favourite when runner-up over 6f at Bairnsdale (maiden) 19 days ago; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs.

RSIS

Caught the eye when 2nd last start at Bairnsdale and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace. Should feature prominently.

Got back and wasn't totally disgraced at Cranbourne first up. Strips fitter and takes a 2kg claim. Usually gets back. Can play a role.

ILB

Odds of $13.00 and ran 6th last time at Cranbourne. Happy to overlook that run and drawn the rails. Should give this a shake.

Not beaten that far in sixth (3½l) over 6f at Cranbourne (maiden) when dropped in distance 22 days ago; winless in seven starts but has shown promise with second her top showing; easy to oppose.

RSIS

At 12/1 ran 6th last run at Cranbourne. Capable of a strong comeback and has the ideal stall. Strong claims.

Trials (1:0-0-0). $220k purchase. Out of a stakes-placed mare who won five races. Recent 3rd at a Pakenham jump-out. Nice gate. Market watch advised.

3yo debutant by Dundeel for Charlotte Littlefield. Watch the market moves.

Sire can produce useful types; first race for the son of Dundeel; has to be feared as some good aspects to his profile.

Cost $60K. 3yo gelding first starter out of the Hinchinbrook mare Samiam Seussie. Recent 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out. Sticky gate but nice race to kick off in.

ILB

3yo first starter by Savabeel for trainer Trent Busuttin And Natalie Young. Watch early betting.

New Zealander bred; his stable gets plenty of debutant winners; gelded already; sire gets his share of decent sorts; he has a shout with signs of encouragement in profile.

AAP

Indicated early potential. Rode the speed and went down in head-bobber at Avoca. Has a big say here.

ILB

Was agonizingly close last time at Avoca. In fine form this preparation. Always seems to find the line well. Betting is the best guide.

Shown recent signs of improvement; favourite and just came up short at Avoca over 6½f (maiden) two weeks ago.

RSIS

Threw down a serious challenge last run at Avoca. Expected to be flashing home. Showing great form since resuming from a break. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Last of 12 at Sale last Sunday (wore blinkers).

On a quick turnaround. Started 150/1 and lost ground in the run home when 12th last time at Sale.

Returns for second campaign (41-weeks). A long way off them at Cranbourne on debut as an outsider. Given more time but will need to step up. Prefer to see.

ILB

Resuming after a 41 week break. At $41.00 faded away to finish 9th last run at Cranbourne but having second career run. Liana Wood takes a large claim. Not interested.

Comfortably beaten first time out (Cranbourne, 6½f) at 40-1 in January; could be more streetwise here; returns from an absence here.

RSIS

Fresh today after a 41 week break. Started 40/1 and was well beaten when 9th last time at Cranbourne but fitter for debut run.

Second campaign (20-weeks). Disappointing debut performance at Bairnsdale 12 Jun. Would need to improve from there and hard to entertain without a market push.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break. At $151.00 just average when 8th last time at Bairnsdale but having second race start. Looks hopeful.

Finished eighth of ten on his debut at Bairnsdale at 150-1 five months ago; room for improvement; returns from a break here.

RSIS

Resumes from a break. At 150/1 just average when 8th last start at Bairnsdale but was a debutant last start.

Never in the call at Mornington at second appearance. Better for race experience and open to progression.

ILB

Subpar when 6th last start at Mornington.

Missed the frame (beaten 8l into sixth) over 6f at Mornington (maiden) last Thursday.

RSIS

Below par performance when 6th last run at Mornington.

Odds correct as at Sat 31 Oct, 1:20 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
