NUM TIME COMMENT
1 06:32 LOGICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS PACE 1720m
 ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 21 metres, after a good second at Hamilton the run prior. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. HITTHEROADJACK (9) was successful at his most recent outing by 9 metres in a nice return to form at Kilmore over 1690m. Finds a tougher race, but he has the ability to make it two on the trot. RUEBE STARBUCK (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Geelong last time out. GUNFORHIRE (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Geelong over 1609m. Include in all combinations.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
2 07:02 DYNAMIC PRINT GROUP TROT (1ST HEAT) 1720m
 SHEZALOVER (5) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week ago, finishing 5.5 metres away in third over 1609m at Geelong. That latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. MANDA KYVALLEY (9) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into sixth at this track over 1720m. Meets a similar lineup and she can figure in the finish. RYMES (12) was in the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 8 metres away in fourth over 1710m at Ballarat. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. This doesn't look as hard, so he is capable of turning things around. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (10) cannot be ruled out but needs a bit of luck from the tricky draw. Include in all combinations.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
3 07:34 WASTE SENSE PACE 1720m
 TOPZAVSKI (9) stayed out of the early speed battle from a wide gate on the front line last start and couldn't come on, finishing 40 metres from the winner in eighth at Shepparton over 2190m. He is better than that and is a big chance if anywhere near his best. FAVOURITEHIGHLIGHT (3) ran ninth last start at Bendigo over 1650m, beaten 14 metres. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. STAR RULER (6) last appeared when ninth over 2200m at Ballarat 16 months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. MY LUCKY ROCK (12) is also in contention, although the draw makes her job a bit tougher. Include in all combinations.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
4 08:07 GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND PACE 1720m
 MY ULTIMATE SASSY (9) registered a strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Geelong. This is a nice drop in grade, so she is in the right race to find the winners' list. OUR TRUE COLOURS (4) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1690m at Kilmore eight days ago. Each way value. ELATED (3) was safely held last time out at the second run back from a spell. Open to plenty of improvement with a good draw assisting his chances.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
5 08:38 NEVELE R STUD PACE (2ND HEAT) 1720m
 CINQUANTA (4) finished eighth last start, beaten 7 metres at Maryborough over 1690m. Finds a nice race and is the one to beat. CONSPIRATOR (1) went back last start then made a long searching run to salute by 1.5 metres at Shepparton over 1690m, his second win in a row. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. SALSAWITHSIERRA (9) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at Cranbourne a week-and-a-half ago. Each way value. MISSLOLA (5) last appeared with a modest run over 1690m at Kilmore nine months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
6 09:12 2CONSTRUCT TROT HANDICAP 2240m
 BENNIE AND THE JETS (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 3.5 metres at Bendigo over 1650m. Steps up a level but with the advantage of the pole position, he is good enough to cope. HATCHBACK (9) ran seventh last start at this track over 1720m, beaten 24 metres. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. ZAREM (8) resumes. Last appeared when a modest effort over 2760m at this track ten weeks ago. With a quick beginning, he can make his presence felt. TRIPOD (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1720m at this track last time out. Use the market as your best guide.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
7 09:43 SWIFT SIGNS PACE 1720m
 SNAZOLA (1) ran seventh last start at Kilmore over 1690m, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field, and she is the one to beat. MYNAMEISRUBY (8) saluted two runs back, then her luck changed last time when she broke and finished 10 metres back in sixth over 1650m at Bendigo. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Big chance if she gets it right early on. MIDNITE DESIRE (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Cranbourne. Include in all combinations. ALCATRAZ GIRL (10) must be respected after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at Geelong over 1609m. Go again.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
8 10:13 HYGAIN VICTORY PACE 1720m
 ANGEL OF ANGER (8) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 17 metres away in ninth over 1609m at Geelong. Form prior to that had been solid. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Meets a comparable field and can finish a lot closer this time. ARCHAA (10) filled a minor placing two starts ago at Kilmore but came back to earth at his latest appearance over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 30 metres into sixth after being handy in the run. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. CHALKNCHEDDAR (5) disappointed last time when ninth over 2200m at Horsham. Can bounce back. FESTINALENTE (9) is better than her last-start modest effort over 1690m at Maryborough. Don't risk her in an even contest.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
9 10:44 HERTZ MELTON 3YO TROT 1720m
 SKY FLAIR (7) did a good job to finish second two starts ago, then recorded an effortless win last time out, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at Cranbourne. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (6) debuted impressively last start, scoring by 2.75 metres over 1690m at Maryborough. Has plenty of scope for improvement, so stick with him. VERA LANE (3) last appeared when she got home by 2 metres over 1650m at Bendigo eight months ago. Should be thereabouts.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
