NUM TIME COMMENT
1 01:00 bet365 Top Tote Plus Maiden Plate 1856m
Reasonable tempo expected with Phair Plan leading with a few others keeping him honest. RETOURNE (4) has had the three starts to date, filling a place in his past two outings at Echuca and Seymour. Drops in trip on last effort where he fought on well after leading. Will give a great sight. PHAIR PLAN (2) is still a maiden after 14 starts but has raced here four times, filling a place on three occasions. Run was solid here last time and a forward showing is on the cards. REBELLIOUS HOPE (12) ran placings at Pakenham and Ballarat before finishing on the placegetters heels last time. Ran on well last time and won't be far away. SEAMINGLY (13) showed a win is not far away after filling a place here last time and cannot be left out.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Retourne and Phair Plan to win.
2 01:30 Hygain Maiden Plate 1454m
Reasonable tempo on the cards with Runaway Soul potentially leading with a few others keeping him honest. RUNAWAY SOUL (3) raced on the speed and stuck to task bravely when filling a place at Sale last time. Looks nicely placed around this circuit and is expected to go close. KUNG FU KISSES (9) has only been sighted on the two occasions and both efforts to date have been sound in good maiden line-ups. Looks suited against this lot and won't be too far away. KRANICH (1) was placed on debut at Cranbourne then backed it up with a fading performance at Pakenham last time. Better placed back to this trip and improvement is on the cards. THE KILMORIAN (5) filled a place for the first time here at his last start after being up on the speed. Improving with racing and is not without claims.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Runaway Soul and Kung Fu Kisses to win.
3 02:00 bet365 Odds Drift Protector Maiden Plate 1454m
Off the low draw the speedy Parnassus should lead at a genuine tempo. BEAUTIFUL VIEW (1) has filled a place in two of his past three outings, the most recent at Stawell when up on the speed over a longer trip. Back to this trip suits and should make a bold bid. PUISSANCE DE VOL (5) hasn't been that far away in his two runs this campaign on his home track at Ballarat. Strips fitter again and should be in this for a long way. CRAZY SHERIFF (7) filled a place for the first time when in the money at Mildura last time. Has a nice draw and can feature prominently. GIDDY UP GUIDO (11) should be improved after two career starts and in not an overly strong affair can feature here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Beautiful and Puissance De Vol to win.
4 02:30 Carlton Draught Maiden Plate 1203m
Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this there is a representation of first starters. BUZZ CITY (2) has only been seen on the two occasions and both efforts have been full of merit. Should be further improved and looks well placed in this. Should go close. GALAXY FIELD (11) is down from NSW and having first run for new stable. Did win a recent Cranbourne jump-out. In good hands and is expected to go close. PHANTOM PRINCE (5) has been just behind the placegetters in both outings this campaign. Should be at his top for this and is expected to feature prominently. AWEEMAWAY (1) came in for solid support at debut and after showing pace tired in the run home at Bairnsdale. Will be improved by the experience and has to be respected.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Buzz City and Galaxy Field to win.
5 03:00 Organs Coaches Handicap 1203m
Mojo Music and Bon Shadow are expected to take up the running at a decent tempo. MUTSUHITO (4) has won three of his last four starts and is aiming for four straight. Just got there when dropped in trip at Ararat last time and can again make his presence felt. LE DERRIERE (6) had some handy form to her credit when last in work. First-up form is sound a forward showing is on the cards. SNAPPY SECRET (2) was successful at Ballarat in March and subsequent form has been sound. Looks nicely off in a race of this nature. Won't be far away. LADY DUMONT (10) raced handy to the speed before knocking up when resuming at Geelong. Is going to strip fitter for the run and has to be respected.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Mutsuhito to win.
6 03:30 bet365 Kyneton Cup Nov 6 Handicap 1856m
No place for the faint-hearted with Portobello Road and Fiftysevenyears expected to be getting along early. FIVE RINGS (1) resumed with a pleasing effort at Bendigo where he got back and made some late ground. The rise in trip is a plus and a forward showing is expected second-up. PRINCESS TOSEN (2) scored at Warrnambool in March then was a little plain here last time after leading. Gets a senior rider on board this time and can bounce back. COUNTESS JENNI (3) scored here two starts back then wasn't disgraced at Cranbourne last time. Gets Declan Bates back aboard and a forward showing is on the cards. INORDINATE (6) can mix his form up but showed he is close to another win with a solid effort here last time. Drops in weight and cannot be left out of calculations.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Five Rings to win.
7 04:00 Prendergast Earthmoving Handicap 1454m
Solid tempo expected primarily from Princeofnottingham and Albanian Bay. LADY SHALAA (6) can mix her form. Run was good two back at Cranbourne before disappointing at Terang last time. Looks much better off this time and improvement is on the cards. MAKALU (7) has featured in the placings in past couple at Geelong. Deserving of another win and gets his chance here. SNAPPY PIERRO (8) has just the two wins from 16 starts but both have come here, her home track. Did the job well last time and there's no reason why she can't win again. ALBANIAN BAY (12) has been around the money in his past two outings and from the good draw can make his presence felt here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Lady Shalaa to win and Makalu to win.
8 04:30 Miranda Park Handicap 1103m
Hot pace on the cards with Snappy Tycoon and The Wayfarer keen to take up the running. BROOKLYN BABY (5) went out in form scoring at Mornington before winning first-up at this circuit. Will be further improved and another bold showing is expected. ROYAL LANE (7) showed improvement second-up when filling a place at Moe. Is sure to have taken benefit from that run and won't be too far away here. SNAPPY TYCOON (3) has been a model of consistency in recent outings, but only has the two wins next to his name. Is fit and should be around the mark again. FEUDAL EMPIRE (2) is going to strip fitter for first-up showing at Ballarat and has performed well here in the past. Won't be too far away.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Brooklyn Baby to win.
