NUM TIME COMMENT
1 01:55 COPRICE CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1900m
Encyclopedia should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. DASHING DONKEY (1) stuck on gamely for second at Griffith last start and looks well placed to go one better here. No tougher this time, so doesn't have to improve much to get the verdict. LA PLAGE (5) wasn’t at her best at Corowa but is much better than that and can bounce straight back in this easier assignment. HOUDINI CATARNO (4) has been out of the winner’s circle for a while but has the ability to test these if she finds her best form. One of the chances. DOPPIO (8) has been plain in two runs back but strips rock-hard fit and can play a role in a race lacking depth. THA MAESTRO (10) is struggling to break through but gets in light and could pinch a placing in a thin race.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Dashing Donkey.
2 02:35 GOLDEN APPLE IGA COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1050m
They should run this along with Belnera and Rita Red taking it up over Commanding Shadow. HOWIE DO IT (3) is a Yes Yes Yes gelding on debut for the Danielle Seib stable. Has the benefit of a Rosehill trial to bring him on. Looks well placed to make a bright start. RITA RED (6) backs up quickly after a solid third at Griffith where she had support in betting. Drawn to get every chance and shapes as a major player. STORMY REIGN (9) resumes and has his second start for the crafty Pepper stable. Suspect he's come on during the break and can give this a shake. COMMANDING SHADOW (8) was honest first-up before a flat run second-up. Can bounce back with fitness on his side. Top four hope here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Howie Do It.
3 03:10 MAWSON CONCRETE AND QUARRIES MAIDEN PLATE 1150m
Solid tempo with Has He Got It possessing enough dash to find the front. HAS HE GOT IT (2) utilised the inside draw last start, leading and giving a kick before being grabbed late at Corowa. Peaking now and will take plenty of catching. QUICK SPELL (3) was below his best at the latest but did have some excuses. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back sharply. Worth another chance. AVENEL SPROUT (1) was never a factor at Wodonga but should find this easier. Drops back to a sprinting trip on the short turnaround and gets in well with the claims. Not without his chance. JEWEL BEN (8) resumes for a new yard, draws well and could surprise at odds. Worth including.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Has He Got It.
4 03:45 THINK WATER LEETON CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1150m
Pleasurize is the likely leader at a strong tempo. MACHETE (3) broke through at Wagga with a determined win over 1000m and looks to have more to offer. Lightly raced and can go right on with it. PLEASURIZE (1) showed plenty of fight last start at Queanbeyan when holding second after racing on speed. Can roll forward again and take catching. DEKADANCE (2) drops back from Highway company after fading into a midfield finish at Randwick race. The form around him stacks up. Sure to be very competitive. GUSTAV (6) was fair first-up at Gundagai and will strip fitter. Gets in low at the weights is among the chances. FINN'S THE ICON (5) is building and should be somewhere near his best now. Keep safe.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Machete gets the nod.
5 04:25 GUILFORD GENERAL TRANSPORT COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m
Altrove has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ALTROVE (1) was game when finishing second at Gundagai. No tougher this time and is sure to go forward from the wide alley and give another bold sight. SUNDROP (5) is ticking along nicely, chasing gamely into the frame last start. Yet to be tested at the mile but it shouldn't bother. Capable of getting into the money again. SUPER SUNNY SEEYA (7) mixes form but has ratings that measure up. Well placed and worth including on best efforts. DEEBAA (8) is stepping out at this track for the first time. Last appeared when she finished third over 1820m at Griffith on September 13. Can give this a shake.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Altrove each-way.
6 05:05 LEETON SOLDIERS CLUB STAN AXTILL MEMORIAL BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1150m
Who But Roo should lead at a keen tempo. MR MOPPETT (1) stuck on well for third at Wagga last and has since been freshened with a 44-day break. Has already tasted success here and with Kissick sticking the pair can win again. KAPPY'S ANGEL (8) will take plenty of benefit from her first-up run at Gundagai. Capable of sharp improvement second-up and the booking of McDougall adds plenty of confidence. MATHRIN (5) was well beaten at Forbes but this is more suitable and she can bounce back to form in this line-up. MANSIERE (7) hasn’t won for a while but has the figures to be competitive if he can settle closer in the run. FUTURE FUND (9) resumes over a winning trip and usually goes well fresh. Keeping safe.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mr Moppett.
7 05:40 SOUTHERN CENTRAL ENGINEERING BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1050m
Expecting a moderate pace headed by Tycoon Artie and Violet And Blue. TRIFECTA RUBY (7) was brave when returning at Griffith, sticking on well for a narrow second. Strips fitter and should be right in the finish again. KAIDA BLAZE (5) resumes over a favoured journey and has run well fresh without winning. Will likely have to head back from the wide draw and be saved for the final shot at them. ANTISOCIAL (3) was much better last start at Tatura when just missing the frame. Not much tougher this time and gets some much-needed weight off with the 3kg claimer reunited. In the mix. VAINSTREAM (6) found a couple better last time out over 1100m at Goulburn, beaten just third. Likely to feature again.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,3,6.
