1-Danestroem

Races well here & has a solid record at the trip. Expect a strong showing.

Smart effort 1st-up & this is her fav trip. Go well again.

Needs to find a fair bit on latest effort but has been placed all 3 here.

Last couple well below best but should be ready to show some improvement.

Runs the occasional handy race & is a winner at her only start this course.

A little tougher this time but warrants some respect on latest effort.

Overraced early stages & never better than midfield when 4L 8th of 13 Nov 27.

Poor effort last time but does have 2 wins & a second from 3 tries this trip.

Came from last for a 1200m 3yoF win here in May. Has some prospects.

First placing in 3 tries this trip when handy throughout for 2L 3rd of 8 Dec 12.

Has 2 wins from 3 tries this trip but in easier company. This should test.

Closed off OK over the shorter trip last time & better suited here.

Super win at MV & extra trip now is ideal. Looks the testing material.

Placed 4 of 5 when fresh but this trip tends to see her out. Place looks best.

Has won 4 of 6 1st-up but all in much lower grade than this. Place claims.

Has a good fresh record in lesser grade & will race forward. Can give some cheek Has been freshened & she'll be getting home hard. Include in trifectas.

Going super in lesser grade but she still hasn't won past 1000 metres.

Goes quick but she's up in grade here. Others have stronger claims.

Stuck to her guns at Flemington & she could be a lightweight threat here.

Goes quick & gets some weight relief here. Will give a sight.

Had excuses last time but is yet to win past 1000 metres. Could sneak a place.

Eligible for easier races & others are better placed. Faces a task.

Super win 1st-up & looks to be still on the rise. Right in it.

(Saturday 26 Dec)

Promising type & can take the next step here. Must go in.

Nice run last time & he is capable of figuring here. Might be the value runner.

Very honest but he's up in grade here. Can't be ignored.

Worked home OK 1st-up & he was a 2nd-up winner in his first prep. Not the worst.

Blitzed his rivals last time & might take some catching in this stronger grade.

Won well prior to that & could be over the odds.

Impressed on debut but he strikes a handy field here. Give some thought.

Proved his own worst enemy last time & they've added winkers here.

Going well but she jumps significantly in grade here. Will need luck.

Finished it off strongly last time & had the best closing splits in the race.

Had excuses last time & should be fitter. Looks tested.

1-Golden Mane

Has hit form quickly & step-up in trip here is ideal. Hard to beat.

Getting closer but he's drawn out in the car park here. Will need luck.

Had excuses last time & he's back slightly in grade here. Can figure.

Runs his best races here & gets a significant jockey change. Capable of better.

Very honest galloper & should enjoy a nice run but the last bit is the test.

Can pull out a run when fresh but he hasn't won below 2000 metres.

Top run 1st-up & he has placed twice out of 3 goes over this trk/trip.

Fitter for 1 run back & much better suited over this trip. Likely improver.

Better run last time & he has won 3 races here. Blowout chance.

Produced some slick closing splits to score 1st-up & destined for bigger things.

Looks to be still on the up & stable must be respected. Comes into calculations.

Fitter for 1 run back but jumps in trip. Will need luck from the awkward alley.

Can improve sharply with a run under his belt. Could add value to exotics.

Had excuses last time but this trip is a test. Looking elsewhere.

Better suited in this grade but she hasn't won past 1600 metres. Take on trust.

Can mix her form & she's a query at the trip. Others look better.

Getting fitter but place hopes are best. Include in trifectas.

Has been luckless of late & could figure if things fall his way. Not out of it.

Struggled from a wide gate last time & drawn wide here. Others better placed.

Step-up in trip should suit but might need it weaker. Looking to others.

10-Tuscan Sling

Trackside 1

Resumes & may need the hit-out from wide gate.

Was disappointing last start but third-up from spell can bounce back.

Racing well this prep & third-up on home trk looks well placed.

Like him getting back to the 1200m & sure to be an improver.

Strips fitter 2nd-up & will run a competitive race.

Pay to forgive last start when never on trk. Can bounce back.

Only battled 4L 12th Dec 12. Has a difficult task from his draw.

Will be giving them a start but expect he will be rushing home late.

Comes off impressive last start win & looks chance again in this field.

Racing consistently but will need some luck from awkward gate.

He is tough & sure to be prominent for long way.

Will go forward but his query will be last 100m.

Has not been all that far away in 3 starts this time in & must respect.

He gets back into a winnable race & from ideal gate this could be his day.

Good strong on-pace win at MV 1st-up & must include based on that run.

13-Master Reset

Trackside 1

He has solid 1st-up record & stable do have a knack of improving horses.

Resumes from spell & may need the hit-out.

Will go forward from wide gate. Question will be how much work he has to do.

Gets into this third-up from spell & should be ready to find best form.

He has not had much luck at last couple & may improve on latest efforts.

She comes into this third-up from spell & ready to find best form.

Like her getting back to this trip & last start win was emphatic. Can win again.

She has been in hot form in Adelaide of late & can never leave stable out.

Last couple have been touch disappointing but he was in form early this prep.

May have to do some work from wide gate. Last 100m will be his query.

He is racing consistently & was placed in Group 3 level 2 back. Top chance.

He has had no luck in recent starts & would not leave out of chances in this.

Good tough Wodonga Cup win last start but needs some luck from wide gate.

He was brave after tough run at Flemington last start & may sneak into placing.

Liked the way he got to the line last start & would watch for her late in this.

Just battled last Nov 29. Not going well enough to worry these.

2-Abbasso

Starts 8:03pm Trackside 1

Third-up & on home trk. May sneak into placing.

Resumes from spell & prefer to watch from wide gate.

Resumes from spell & may need the run.

He had excuses for poor run last start & can bounce back in this class.

Won with authority 1st-up & can measure up to these.

Expect he will go forward & if left alone will take some running down.

Third-up from spell & back on home trk will be an improver.

Impressive 1st-up & will get all the favours from ideal draw.

He showed nice turn of hoof to win last start. Barrier the biggest concern.

Better at this trip but barrier makes it tough.

Will have to go back from horror barrier. Watch late.

Resumes of long spell. Prefer over the jumps.

Only battled in the straight Nov 29. Strips fitter but may need another run.

Looked touch unlucky fresh & will be much better from that outing.

Comes off decisive last start win but this looks harder.

Always well back 2.5L 8th Dec 4. Hard to see him improving enough to win.

Only battled when headed late 3L 3rd Dec 9. His form is okay but this too tough.

Enormous run 1st-up & he is not without a chance in this field.

Best work final stages 3.8L 7th Dec 8. This too tough.

Was coming off a setback last week when he was gone on the corner & dropped out.

Made up ground last time but winner was away & gone. One of the key chances.

Look for better showing on firmer surface.

Did enough at previous start to indicate he'll be competitive.

Has picked up a cheque in all 5 runs since joining this stable & loves this trk.

Has finished top 4 in 7 of past 8 starts. Respect.

Wet trk bias against him last time & run can be excused. Improved showing wouldn Likes this trk & looks well placed with 2kg less to carry. Don't sell him short.

Back to his best last time & on an upward spiral. Value hope.

Has been thereabouts lately & in peak condition. Can give some cheek at good odd Racing well in easier grade & placed only previous start this trk. Not hopeless.

Won only previous start this circuit but hard to have on latest efforts.

Up in grade but has some upside. Not hopeless.

Last run was an improvement but this looks a bit beyond him.

Up in grade but not without a rough place hope.

Drawn awkwardly & might be looking for further. Place preferred.

DOUBTFUL STARTER. Aided by the bias that day but runner-up has franked the form. Will give this a Comes to hand quickly & has a good record on home trk. One of the key chances.

Rails alley is a plus but would prefer to see some market confidence.

Did the job well 1st-up & will strip a lot fitter. Up in weight but must be resp Rock solid in condition & hasn't finished further back than 4th at past 5 runs.

Wet trk against him last time & run can be excused. Look for better showing on f Freshened up since below par run 1st-up. Drops in weight but others have more to Had support 1st-up & did enough. Unbeaten in 2 starts here. One of the key chanc Ran well in black type company during the winter carnival. Don't sell him short.

Returns to home trk where he has a great record. Worth another chance.

Can mix his form at times but talented when he's on song & has a good record thi Loves this trk winning 2 of 3 & drawn perfectly. Value hope.

Bound to give another great sight now she's found her mojo.

This trip is short of her best but will be putting in the big bounds late.

Three-time winner here but might need it a bit easier. Place looks best.

Up in grade but drawn perfectly & in career-best form. Don't treat lightly.

Can figure in finish if the breaks go his way from horror draw.

No easy task 1st-up from wide draw but not hopeless.

Bit disappointing last week but is better than that. Wouldn't surprise to see hi Will strip fitter following 1st-up run & runner-up all 3 previous 2nd-up attempt Better signs last time & runner-up all 3 starts this circuit. Worth including in Never likely 1st-up but this looks more suitable. Improved showing wouldn't tota Plodding 8L 8th Sep 19. Spelled after 2.3L 3rd Sep 27. Resuming & fitter for 2nd Close to another win & stays down in the weights. Respect.

Form only average but this is the most suitable race he's contested this time in Poor draw is a concern but can't be ignored.

Undefeated this trip & drops 4.5kg. Right in this.

Not as effective deeper into a campaign. Place looks best.

Has the tactical speed to take advantage of ideal draw. Rates highly.

Two runs this time in have been mixed. Needs to lift on last run.

Lot more depth to this field but can't be ignored.

Thrown in the deep end at first start & didn't measure up. Prefer others.

Outstanding filly with a foolproof racing pattern. Rates highly.

Excellent effort behind leading Slipper fancy in Gimcrack. Will go close.

Returns to home trk where he's won twice. Big weight drop will assist.

Ticking over nicely this campaign. Right in this.

Runner-up only start this circuit. Wouldn't surprise to see him improve carrying Kept ticking over with 3rd in 1000m trial here last week. Can improve if she bri Failed to impress at local debut. Might need it a bit easier.

17-Chief of the Clan

Rider felt something was amiss last time. Hard to come in on what he's shown so Put the pen through that run & go on gutsy 1st-up win.

Has been a grand campaigner but struggling to recapture old form & has a nightma Placed only previous start this trk as 2yo. Will go close.

Took a few runs to strike form last campaign but worth including in multiples.

Knockout chance if he brings his A-game.

Likes this trk. Wouldn't surprise to see him run a cheeky race fresh.

Resumed with fair 2.5L 6th Oct 31. Just held his ground 6L last Nov 28. Kept up Has enough early toe to cope with wide alley. Respect.

Back from let-up for new stable & is a proven performer this circuit.

Resuming & going for hat-trick of wins in this race. Respect.

Drawn the car park but last run keeps her in contention.

Won't get it as easy this time from horror draw but hard to knock winning form.

Smart short-course sprinter but this is a tough assignment 1st-up.

Resuming for new stable & last win was in this race nearly 3 years ago.

Runner-up in this race earlier this year but hard to have on last effort.

Led but was paddling at the finish last time. Won't find this any easier.

Just a run 1st-up & this looks too tough. Prefer others.

Much tougher this time but drawn perfectly. Knockout chance.

Thrown in the deep end 1st-up from wide alley. Might need it a bit easier.

Back in trip from perfect draw. Can make amends.

Can improve off a favourable draw if she brings her A-game.

Track specialist winning 3 of 4 & has Browne aboard. This is D-day.

Only has to cope with weight hike to give this a shake.

1st-up specialist winning 2 of 3 & has a great record on home trk.

DOUBTFUL STARTER. Has a tricky alley to cope with but can't be ignored.

Won only start this trk in impressive style 3 runs back. Not out of this.

Won the Vo Rogue at this meeting last year. Will take catching.

Blinkers did the trick last time when she defied the bias adding even more merit Has only missed a top 4 finish once in past 10 outings. Worth including in multi No easy task 1st-up from wide alley. Market watch advised.

Hasn't looked back since joining this stable. Up in grade from horror draw.

Led & fought on well 1.3L 2nd Aug 29. Spelled after 2.5L 6th Sep 19. Resuming & Reasonable effort at local debut. Big weight drop & rails alley in her favour.

Tiring 5L 7thF Dec 12. Disappointing at local debut.

Showing plenty of promise in first campaign. Right in this.

Returns to this trk for the first time since winning MM 2yo last Jan. Unbeaten on dry trks. Will go close if he has conditions to suit.

Better signs last time & chased home Le Chef only previous start this trk earlie Had good support in the ring last time but didn't deliver. Place preferred.

Improved showing wouldn't totally shock.

Stepping up to G3 company but will give a good account.

Close to another win & has blinkers on first time. Rates highly.

Three deep (no cover) last time & did a great job given the bias. Right in this.

Making excellent progress. Huge step up in grade but hard to knock winning form.

Runner-up in MM 2yo earlier this year. Likely improver with blinkers back on.

Placed only start this trk in the MM 2yo earlier this year. Respect.

Just needs the breaks to go her way to keep them honest.

Likes her races spaced & drops 2.5kg. Don't sell her short.

Going from strength to strength this campaign. Rates highly.

Swung wide on the turn last time & lost no admirers chasing home a promising fil Put the writing on the wall last time. Will give a great sight.

1-Fontelina

Burst through gap & put them away in impressive style last time to break long ru Blotted his copybook last time but came out of the race with a cut to his leg.

Has tactical speed to take advantage of perfect draw. Worth another chance.

Stormed home lg nk 2nd Dec 12. Put the writing on the wall 1st-up. Right in this Proven performer this trk & tumbles 5kg. Will be hard to hold out.

Three-time winner here & drops 4.5kg. Don't sell her short.

Drawn the rails & won MM 3yo here. Placed to perfection.

Narrowly beaten in this race when it was run earlier this year. Might be the big Up in grade but has won 3 times here in the past. Don't underestimate.

Lost no admirers last time & 1L better on dry trks. One of the major players.

Freshened up & changed stables since last run. Not the worst.

Won MM Cup only start this trk last year. Knockout chance.

Placed to perfection with that run under his belt & tumbling 7kg. Right in this.

Looks well placed this trip from a perfect draw.

Fitter for recent racing & kept fresh for this. Represents value.

Undefeated in 2 starts at home trk & drawn perfectly. Don't sell him short.

Was going ok earlier this campaign but past 2 runs below par. Needs to lift.

Capable of sneaking into the placings at big odds.

Has it all ahead of him 1st-up from outside alley. Prefer others.

Aided by the bias that day but runner-up has franked the form. Can run a cheeky Returns to home trk where he's never missed a place. Likely improver.

Did enough 1st-up & is a proven performer at this trk. Value hope.

That looks a very strong form reference for this.

Looks up to this but has drawn awkwardly.

Battled away solidly on debut but he did have every chance. Won't find this any From strong yard & has come up with the inside gate. Keep an eye on betting & pa Has shown enough at the trials but the outside gate will make things tough.

By Duporth - As Simple As That. Dam by Grand Lodge. Primed for debut with nose, Never figured in the Inglis Nursery a fortnight ago but her eye-catching second Won nicely on debut but she did enjoy all the favours. Tougher here.

Sure to have improved from that experience. Don't underestimate.

More experienced now & should find this a bit easier. One for the multiples.

Since given time to mature & prepared for this with 2 trials. Expect a forward s Unwanted in betting on debut & folded up after taking up a handy position.

She has produced a winner from 3 foals to race. Trials suggest she will need mor

Better suited here & likely to be ridden more conservatively. EW. Strips trimmer & could find some improvement with some cut in the trk.

Had a quiet trial but expect she'll be well tuned & Michelle Payne key booking.

Showing ability but looks better placed in something a bit easier at this stage.

Up in class now but drops 6kg into this & the wet ground will play into her hand His 1st-up run was full of merit. Don't underestimate.

Tough win at Cant but expect him to find a few of these too strong.

Should again be prominent & the 3kg claim aids his cause.

Chasing fourth straight win & ready for another shot at 1600m now.

Fitter for 3 runs back & gives impression he's looking for this trip now.

Ready for 1600m now & acts on all surfaces. In the mix.

First try at 1600m but gives every indication it will suit.

Likely to drop back from the wide gate but can again run into a place.

Stiffer test here & quickly to 1600m but proven wet & drawn to perfection.

Two runs back poor but getting fitter & reserves his best for rain affected goin Placed all 3 previous tries over this journey. Goes into exotics.

Latest only fair but city winner prior & best around this distance range.

Was safely held behind several of these 1st-up. Fitter but might take a couple m Honest mare but will need plenty to go her way from the outside alley.

Might be looking for this trip now. Very fit & looks an EW chance on the limit.

Latest good at Goulburn but right up in class for this. Place best again.

Closed in well at Scone then ran home nicely again here a fortnight ago.

Can settle closer here stepping out to 1200m from a good alley. Include amongst Turned in an encouraging 1st-up run at Rosehill then chased home a smart mare he Hard to recommend on the back of that performance but the wet trk will play into Expect a quieter ride here. Could blow these away.

Looks to have the ability to measure up but probably wants the trk to dry out.

She is much better than those performances suggest & excels on wet trks.

Can only improve from that outing & has performed well on wet trks. In the mix.

Expect her to be ridden cold from the outside gate & don't be surprised to see h Could add value into the exotics again if she can reproduce that performance.

Nearing peak fitness now & the wetter the better for her. Has claims down in the Well bred & has upside but prefer to see in something easier at this stage.

Trackside 2

Only got going late 1st-up but still might need another 1 at this stage.

Hard to recommend on what he has done 2 runs from a spell.

Racing in fine form before not being disgraced after tough run in the Villiers.

Never really threatened 2.5L 6th Sep 19. Given a let-up after ordinary 6L 9th Oc Handles wet ground. Worth plenty of thought.

Excels at this trip but has struggled on wet trks in the past.

In light here & could run a cheeky race if he gets a soft lead.

Normally takes a couple of runs to find form but the wet trks gives him a rough Yet to win beyond 1500m but only narrowly beaten in a 1400m R93 here 2 starts ba Sent around at big odds at Rosehill last Saturday & ran accordingly.

Saves his best for wet trks & gets in very light after Costin's claim.

Led but folded up 5L 8th Oct 10. No abnormalities were found after disappointing Prior form was solid but probably needs a dry trk in order to give this a shake.

Clearly going well enough to make his presence felt but has struggled on this tr Proven 2nd-up & has won on heavy ground. Among the chances.

Needs to improve significantly on that performance in order to threaten here.

Won the G3 Show County Quality over this trk/trip then had things go against in Will get back & need some luck but look for her to be storming home again.

Flies fresh & enjoys the sting out of the ground. Rate highly.

Did enough 1st-up in the Razor Sharp Hcp but has raced flat 2nd-up in the past & Expect her to play a major role in this if she has come through that tough run o Didn't fire a shot when resuming in the Razor Sharp Hcp here a fortnight ago.

Up against the older horses now but looked good in a recent W'wick Fm trial.

DOUBTFUL STARTER. Finished off nicely from the back 2.3L 8th Jun 27. Spelled & changed hands after

Peaks now & could finish in the money with some luck from the outside gate.

Proven fresh & on rain affected ground. Big threat if anywhere near his best.

Kept fresh since & drops back to his pet trip.

Holds her form 2nd-up & handles wet conditions. Can win again.

Capable galloper but likely to find some of these too sharp over 1000m.

Proven 2nd-up & has placed on heavy ground but the drop back to 1000m is a query Displayed the turn of speed of a stakes-class filly here a fortnight ago.

Not sure he is going well enough to win this but could add value into the exotic Bred to relish wet ground & he looked good in a recent Rosehill trial.

Look for him to roll forward & can give a sight at good odds.

15-Drum Roll

Drops 1kg into this & won't have any problems getting through the wet ground.

Rarely far away but doesn't win out of turn & best form is on firm surfaces.

Ticking over nicely & the wet ground will play into his hands. Take beating.

Wet stats don't look flash but he did run 4th on a heavy trk in the Nowra Cup ea Suited back to 1400m & is attractively weighted after Nutman's claim.

Peaks now & excels on rain affected ground. Amongst the hardest to beat.

Narrowly beaten on a heavy trk at Rosehill 2 starts back then battled away midfi Much fitter now, steps out to a more suitable trip & the wet conditions are a bi Hasn't shown much in trials leading into this. Wait & see what he does.

Faces a steep class rise now but has drawn perfectly & doubt the wet trk will po Steps up in class now & the wet conditions are a concern.

Has done enough in 2 runs back but some of these appear better credentialled.

Much improved last time but he has been costly to follow & the wet ground is a b Since freshened & drops back to the trip both her wins have come over.

Swept home from midfield 1.3L win Jun 22. Caught wide worse than midfield & coul
