Track Condition: Good 4
Rail Position: True entire circuit
DICKENSIAN is a debutant from the Peter Moody stable. Shown enough in jumpouts and from inside gate he should get his chance to win.
AWARD ME is another having her first start in a race. Danny O’Brien is sure to have her ready for racetrack and Jamie Kah takes the reins. She will have support.
HER EMPIRE started a short priced favourite at Geelong first-up and she got going final stages when just missed placing. She will be in finish.
Tip: DICKENSIAN
THRONTARI finished the race off hard when placed in better race at Caulfield last start. She looks well placed third-up and gets chance to return to winners stall.
MISS MIDDLE PARK came from well off them and got the job done in maiden company at Cranbourne last start. She can go on with it now she has won.
CHERRYPICK won her maiden two starts back then was placed at The Valley last start. Draws perfect barrier and will be right in the mix again.
Tip: THRONTARI
ANNUNCIATE is screaming out for a win and he will not get a better chance than this. Five straight placings and like him to return to winners stall in this.
POPPY JOAN was placed in her first two starts this campaign then she went to The Valley last start and was not beaten all that far. Must include in chances.
MISS FIVE HUNDRED has been competitive in her races this prep and if she can hold that form would figure in exotics.
Tip: ANNUNCIATE
SEONEE won her maiden with ease two starts back then just missed in town last start. She gets chance to make amends and go one better in this.
GREEN BELT made a mess of them at Cranbourne on debut. He looks smart and can measure up to city class. Must include in winning chances.
EL CORDOBES is another that got his maiden out of the way at Geelong at first start. Should get nice run behind the speed and he will get chance at some stage in the straight.
Tip: SEONEE
JUNGLE JIM drove through and led them throughout at Moe first-up from spell. Sure to be better from that outing and no reason he cannot win again.
MURRAMI EXPRESS comes into this ready to win third-up from spell. Been placed in two city runs leading up to this and he gets his chance.
JUCCONI resumes from spell. He won both starts at first prep and no reason he cannot keep his unbeaten record in tact in this field.
Tip: JUNGLE JIM
GATE CRASH finished too well to win at Hillside last start. Will win better races than this and he goes on top in this field.
WISAKA was placed at Hillside first-up then he looked to get his chance last start but just held ground final stages. Drawn touch awkwardly but can figure in finish.
FRENCH MOON chased home soundly when ran into a minor placing last start. Only needs to hold that form to be a factor.
Tip: GATE CRASH
VICTORY BAY was strong to the line winning at The Valley on debut then only just missed at Caulfiled last start in hot race. Drawn ideally and looks the one to beat.
OUGHTON won his maiden at Hillside two starts back then fought the race out tenaciously last start and held placing. Gets chance to return to winners stall.
LOGAN STREET LION started favourite at Hillside last start and drove hard final stages to just miss. Fitter from first-up effort and must include in chances.
VASMEE has come back in super form. Won at Warrnambool first-up then bolted in last start. He can make it three in a row.
Tip: VICTORY BAY
HASSELTOFF comes into this off a couple of Flemington minor placings. Drawn to get the ideal run in behind the speed and should get his chance.
VARDANI won by a big space at Warrnambool two starts back then beaten less than 2 lengths in a nice race at Flemington last start. Barrier the concern.
ELUDING started this campaign in winning form with two strong victories then he has not been all that far off in a couple of runs since. He will make presence felt.
Tip: HASSELTOFF
