1. Comano | Has placed in two runs from three this campaign. Likely to get a nice run behind the speed. One of the main hopes. |
2. Talk About Tom | Has had 11 runs without breaking maiden but narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Burrumbeet. Rise in weight. Can surprise. |
3. Tarakan | Shifted out at start sht nk, nk 3rd of 8 (7) $31.00 59.5 Rue Grande, Crocodile Dundeel 1200m Terang 3yo+ Mdn Soft(5) Dec 9. Overraced middle stages. Wide throughout 10 len 10th of 13 (7) $21.00 59.5 As I Please 1100m Warrnambool 3yo+ Mdn Good(4) Dec 31. |
4. Top Up | First Start. By Real Jester - Ourhalo |
5. Twelve Gauge | On a six day back-up and this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Noel Callow not a regular jockey for this trainer. Unlikely. |
6. Verando | Unplaced in career. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo. Look to others. |
7. A Little Luce | 3-1/4 len 6th of 10 (1) $15.00 57.5 Stormborn 1000m Pakenham Synthetic Mdn Synthetic July 10. Keen. Laid in near 300m 3-1/4 len 5th of 7 (4) $4.60 57.5 Tenacious 1000m Stony Creek 3yo+ Mdn Heavy(8) Jan 5. |
8. Catch The Drift | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Warrnambool and should run fitter for past attempts. Go well. |
9. Just Like Jess | Back from long spell of 211 weeks and ran eighth at Terang on debut. Up in weight. Cannot entertain. |
10. Little Miss Grace | Finished seventh at only start at Kerang and up in weight. Claim should help but this looks too strong. |
11. Nuclear Miss | First-up after 33 week spell and carrying more weight. Not in this. |
12. Sequalus | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep and placed last start at Yarra Valley. Likely to race on the speed. Tough to beat. |
13. Stardust Lover | Crowded near 1000m 9-1/4 len 8th of 10 (7) $51.00 56.5 Mr Midori 1000m Dunkeld 4yo+ Mdn Soft(5) Nov 14. 4-3/4 len 7th of 10 (6) $11.00 57.5 Amusing Magnus 1000m Penshurst 3yo+ Mdn Soft(5) Dec 26. |
14. Silkstream | Finished sixth last start at Warrnambool and drawn the rails. Drops in weight. Place only. |
15. Locktoba Honey | Back from 20 week spell and large claim helps. Expected to settle just off the speed. Seems unlikely. |
