Carlton Draught 3YO Maiden Plate 1115m
Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of first starters. Loads of these are close to getting off the mark. ALBERTVILLE (1) showed good speed on debut and finished runner-up over 1000m before a year-long spell. Has switched yards and returns a gelding. Placed on two jump-outs recently and looks a top chance on what he showed on debut. BRAZEN DIVA (9) is close to a win and has Williams. Placed at both career runs and will be prominent throughout. Should feature. SENSATIONAL SECRET (11) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 1100m at Werribee. Open to plenty of improvement. BLESSED EXPRESS (8) is a Shamus Award filly on debut following a quiet trial at Cranbourne. Related to a number of winners. Low draw and pay to keep a close eye on betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on the return of Albertville. |

Evolve Interiors Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate 1115m
Strong early tempo with Mystic Rapture and Redemption Time leading the way. Probably hinges on the return of SHEHUNGTHEMOON (8). Talented filly who has raced in tougher including the Blue Diamond Prelude and Preview and has also had a trip to Qld. Returns from a long break and throat operation. Placed in a recent jump-out and on best form would go close. MYSTIC RAPTURE (2) was beaten just a length on debut when giving a sight. Blinkers added and has upside. Among the main hopes. COUNT YOUR PENNIES (1) was runner-up fresh then no match in a hot form race latest at the Valley. Can improve sharply this time. REDEMPTION TIME (3) turned in a fair effort last start, beaten 2.75 lengths into third over 1000m at Bendigo. Long overdue and expected to give a sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shehungthemoon if on song. |

Hygain 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate 1474m
In a race devoid of pace Swing Low will be prominent. MRS SECOMBE (7) is a big filly who had everything go wrong last time trying to take a trail on the inside at Bendigo, finishing fourth. Switch of rider this time and expect she'll be kept in the clear and hit the line hard. Can atone. TANYA SIMONE (10) is building to a win, the latest a fast-finishing third here over a similar journey. Looks close to a win and is expected to be winding up late. SWING LOW (9) was placed fresh then was well off best last time. Out to a longer trip and gets her chance to atone. BELLADRAMATIC (2) could be the knockout horse. Finished last campaign in Group 3 class in the Ethereal Stakes at Caulfield. Might need further but worth noting debut run over this trip was good. Don't underestimate. CARRY ON LIZZY (11) is another to watch closely. Makes debut for the Hayes barn out of Group 1 winner Carry On Cutie. Placed in the latest of three jump-outs and expected to have ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give Mrs Secombe another try. |

bet365 Never Ordinary Maiden Plate 1215m
Moderate tempo headed by Cardiologist. Big field but like the look of CARDIOLOGIST (5) who turned in a nice run fresh. That was over 1200m at Moe when went forward and gave a sight, finishing fourth. That was a far richer maiden and looks well placed here on best figures. Will give a huge sight. ALLETANTE (16) finished third, beaten 2 lengths when resuming from a spell last start over 1209m at Yarra Valley. Consistent type well overdue and has placed at both second-up runs. Expected to feature again. PLATINUM EXECUTIVE (3) has been thereabouts and wound up late last time. Looks a solid top-three hope with a strong pace up front. NIC THE CASH (8) was fair on debut when eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1103m here. Sure to be much improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Cardiologist. |

RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race 1215m
Expecting a strong gallop with Flick Roll and Maximum Power taking up the running over Primal Spirit. Tough race with plenty of win chances. FLICK ROLL (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1203m at this track. That was her second win on the bounce so hard to knock the form and drawn to give a sight again. SEATTLE HOPE (10) is another in good form. Placed four on end before two wins in a row, the latest here at the same journey. Has the weight drop in the tougher grade and off a better draw this time will be in this for a long way. PRIMAL SPIRIT (4) went to the lead from the low draw when fresh from a spell last time out and boxed on well for third over 1200m at Pakenham. Fitter and looks well placed here. MAXIMUM POWER (13) was close-up last time. Speedy type at peak and can give a sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 8,10,4,13. |

bet365 Odds Drift Protect C,G & E BM58 Handicap 1474m
Not much gate speed on show enabling Dark Harmony to roll to the front. No designated leader and Dark Harmony may find himself in front. No last-start winners in the race and the majority are a long time between wins. HIGH SECURITY (8) is one of those that doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Raced a week ago over a little further and tried to lead throughout but was run over late. Will probably be beaten for speed this shorter trip but expected to feature late. DANTOOINE (5) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1550m at Mt Gambier. This no easier but at least racing consistently and gets his chance. DARK HARMONY (2) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten half a length, over 1400m at Horsham. Doesn't win often but looks well-placed here. HYDROGEN POWER (3) has placed at the last couple and should run into the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on High Security. |

Global Turf Fillies & Mares BM58 Handicap 1474m
Keen tempo with Snappy Pierro and Universal Rock prominent. Like the look of UNIVERSAL ROCK (7) in this. Gave a sight two back and run down then led throughout to score at the latest. Has the claim and is on the up so worth following up. SNAPPY PIERRO (11) placed two back then led and swamped in tougher last time. Like Universal Rock will press forward early and should be in this for a long way. ENGELINE (1) wasn't far away in tougher when fresh from a long break. Will strip better for it and looks well placed here. LUNAR FROST (12) has a tricky gate but a handy claim. Mixes form but worth noting best efforts including sole career win was here. Can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Universal Rock. |

Anthony Stevens Macedon Ranges BM58 Handicap 1881m
Strong tempo assured from Adki and Day In Heaven leading the charge. Scratchings have given MAWKEB (1) the chance to atone. Missed the frame last time when eighth at Morphettville. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Has strong winning claims. DAY IN HEAVEN (9) has been racing in great form including a Stony Creek win two back then placing last time. Off a low draw will take catching. MAX MERCURY (4) scored in slightly easier last time but worth noting has won 2/3 when second-up so expected to run well. VADARCHIE (8) drops in journey from last start when fourth over 2778m at Werribee, finishing 3.5 lengths off the winner. Freshened for the shorter trip and looks a major player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mawkeb can atone. |
