CB Debt Consultancy Maiden Plate 1590m
Expecting The Little Russian to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. DETERMINATO (3) returned last time with a solid third at Seymour over 1300m. The runner-up from that race disappointed at Bendigo on Wednesday, but this is a touch softer than that and this guy looks suited by the rise in trip with added fitness on his side. RAINSUN (6) is the lone debutant in the field, so spotting experience too all rivals, but does look to have a touch more class than most of them going off some handy jumpout performances. SUNBURNT COUNTRY (7) was a new acquisition for the Natalie Jarvis stable last start when he made steady ground to run into second over 1205m at Sapphire Coast. Looks a great chance in this suitable contest. WOMBAT (9) lines up on the back of a 1.3 lengths sixth over 1800m at Horsham. His lone placing came at 2000m, but that was only two starts back, so if he can get back to that form he'll play a role. MIDNIGHT EAGLE (5) is trained here and has placed at his only two runs on the track, so warrants consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Determinato to win. |

Peards Nursery Wodonga Maiden Plate 1300m
Fervi should lead at a keen tempo. TRIUMVIRATE (4) was well in commission last start over 1200m at Wagga when second, beaten 4 lengths, which was the third top-three finish from three starts this time in. The run prior, when just behind PRESTIGE MADDY (9), looks the key form reference for this race. That being the case, Prestige Maddy looks the main danger. She was plain last start after missing the kick but gets blinkers here, which might help her get back to her best. CUMULATE (5) was beaten a long way last start, but so were most of his rivals and he might be better suited back slightly in trip here. PRINCESS PRUSSIA (10) wasn't served well at the barrier draw, but probably would have gone back anyway, so she shouldn't be discounted on the wide draw and if they can run on she warrants consideration. BLACKLIP (1) is back after a break of 10 weeks and was adequate in a recent Werribee jumpout. Among the chances while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Triumvirate and Prestige Maddy quinella. |

SS&A Club Maiden Plate 1100m
Genuine tempo with the speedy Summoned Lou leading the way. Looks a good clash between one who brings handy race form and another who's been lighting up the jumpouts. UYUNI (11) is the one we've seen at the races before and she found only one better first-up at Werribee, which backed up some consistent form in the debut preparation. Draws to be considered the testing material. WAITAHA STAR (5) is another debutant, but is trained on the track, which is a positive. Has placed in each of his two trials to date. Barrier 1 on debut also a positive. SHEZA RAVEELA (9) resumes. Has shown glimpses of promise on raceday and did place in a Werribee trial in readiness for this. SUMMONED LOU (3) next elect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Main bet Uyuni, but might pay to save on Waitaha Star. |

RCC & Barooga Hotel Autism Awareness 0 - 56 Handicap 2050m
They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. PARABELLUM (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start when she worked home well but found one better over 2000m at Wangaratta, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JUST LANDED (1) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1600m at Kilmore. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. MR TADASHI (3) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 2000m at Kilmore. Should be winding up late again. TRADEWORX (4) finished 2.6 lengths back from the winner last start at Wangaratta on a soft track and is down in weight this time. Might drift back but wind up late and can run on into the finish. HIGH COUNTRY STAR (2) has been consistent in four runs this prep - sadly, for connections, that has been running sixth - but hasn't been in a race as winnable as this in that time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Parabellum to win. |

Community Crew Albury/Wodonga 0 - 56 Handicap 1100m
Hot pace certain with Shooting For Stars, O'reg and Star Of Ida keen to take up the running. RATTLE'N'ROLL (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest ninth at Kilmore over 1200m. This looks easier than those races though and he draws much more favourably than last start. TOUXLOVE (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 3, finishing ninth and beaten 7 lengths over 1600m at Seymour. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries and strikes a highly-winnable race. PRANDIUM TEMPUS (3) was a nice maiden winner first up and although well beaten at the next two, they were in stronger races than this, so an improved run expected. O'REG (6) is an 11yo well past his best but has run well here before and strikes the right contest to run the best race of the campaign. CILENTO (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1300m at Echuca, but shouldn't be wanting for fitness now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rattle'n'roll to win. |

Picklebet's Get Your Pickle On BM52 Handicap 1590m
Strong pace from Paralia and Royal Summer matching motors with Goats On Oats close at hand. ZIGGY STARCRAFT (2) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1300m at Wangaratta, when probably in the wrong part of the track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MISHIMA (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1300m at Wangaratta. Drawn ideally and looks a leading player again. DON'TCALLMECHAMP (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1300m at Wangaratta. That was the same race Ziggy Starcraft ran third in, so he's got some ground to make up on that galloper, but he'll appreciate firmer footing here. GOATS ON OATS (8) is on the back-up after going around at Corowa on Monday and he wasn't beaten far that day, in what was probably a stronger race than this, so he's right in it providing he handles the back-up. DOUBTFREE (5) was poor last start, but good the run prior, so probably deserves another chance now at peak fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ziggy Starcraft to win. |

Sunshine Trust 0 - 56 Handicap 1300m
Barn Zee is the likely leader at a keen tempo. ALTROVE (10) lines up on the back of a 0.8 lengths fourth over 1200m at Corowa on Monday. Not beaten far the start prior at Kilmore either, so looks to be tracking the right way and looks really well in after the 4kg claim. SLY CASCATA (5) also gets a bit of weight relief, thanks to Cassidy Hill's 3kg claim, and he needs to be respected on consistency alone, let alone the fact he's drawn ideally. SWING YOUR MAGIC (2) gets here second-up after a 3.5-length fifth in a stronger race as Seymour, so with that run under the belt and a nice draw he looks like playing a role. FLEET DESTINATION (14) doesn't have the luxury of a good draw, but is racing consistently and can be expected to acquit himself well even though he is up in grade. OVERTOUX (12) led from a wide gate last time over 1300m at Wangaratta but felt the pinch and faded out of it. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Winning claims on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Altrove to win. |
