R3 n5 BEWS MF on map and should be off inside there. 2nd up off 21 days rises 1kg and stays at 1200m. Resumed off short 84 day break for new stable at Doomben drew inside went back near last early off an even tempo was only clear from the 200m and exploded late to win impressively by 0.7L. Overall figures from race were fair but his closing speed was typically fast. This bigger track will suit him and he will be very strong late again with clear run home down middle of the track.
R5 n12 MISS JOELINE Map suits forward behind the lead group and off fence. 2’d up off 21 days rises 2kg out to 1400m (+50m). Resumed off 119 day spell (no public trials) Doomben drew inside sat 3rd on a very slow tempo and was beaten 1.6L by Navyonthehighway who led and controlled and is a quality mare. Lot fitter with that run under her belt and maps well for J Orman is an important change. Very well placed in this class of race on her best form and extremely well suited today off this map late.

R1 n8 HIYAAM PROUD 3rd up off 9 days out to 1700m (+100m). Last start BM80 Flemington G4 drew outside (16) went forward wide to 4th on a very fast tempo and ran 4* beaten 0.7L by a swooper. His run there was outstanding and was well backed late. He was entitled to run last and the overall figures from race were very strong. Lightly race 4YO who maps much better today and I am sure he will win better races than this. Keen he wins.
R4 n3 PISCES Forward inside to be behind lead group. 2* up off 21 days and suited out to 1400m (+200m). Resumed at Moonee Valley drew outside in small field and went back to last early on a slow tempo and ran 2nd beaten 0.75L by Bittercreek. Overall figures from the race were good and he closed off powerfully with 6th fastest L200m of meeting. It was a great return and sets up well today 2nd up at 1400m with J Mac off a good map.
R9 n4 ANOTHER WIL 5th up off 14 days drops 1.5kg and stays at 1400m. Last start Flemington drew inside and sat 4th on a very slow tempo but was strong late winning easily by 1.25L. Overall figures from the race were good off that tempo and he closed off with 4th fastest L200m of the meeting after being held up from 400-200m. Has got VG record at this track and distance and gets a similar map/set up today.
R10 n4 NIANCE Forward early to be on speed. 2nd up off 28 days (VG jump out Nov 4 since) and suited out to 1200m (+100m). Resumed Caulfield Listed class off 154 days on a S7 track drew soft and sat 2d on a very fast tempo but was strong late winning by 0.3L when heavily backed. Overall figures from the race were elite and dominant for meeting. Lightly raced 5YO mare suited out to 1200m 2nd up and gets control of race up on this tempo.

R4 n4 BULLETS HIGH Maps 4P back outside. 3rd up off 14 days rises 1kg and suited out to 1600m. Last start Rosehill 2d up on $5 track went back 7th early on a very slow tempo (unsuited) and charged home late for 2d beaten 0.3L by Battleton. Overall figures from race were only plain off that tempo but there was genuine quality in his closing figures with the 10th fastest L200 of meeting. I have always liked this horse and expect him to graduate through to stakes class races in time out over a distance and softer track suits. Keen he wins today.
R8 n14 BRIASA Forward to MF on map looking for cover- might have Private Eyes back there. 4th up off 17 days drops 3kg and suited out to 1300m (+50m). Last start BM88 Kenso 55 drew soft sat 2nd on an even tempo but finished powerfully to win easily 3.1 when $1.40. Overall figures from race were best of meeting which is hard to do off a tempo like that. His closing speed there was typically elite. Lightly raced and outstanding talent proven on soft and 1300m is perfect – he will launch late here with 53kg and win.
R10 n17 UZZIAH Leads inside on map. 3rd up off 14 days drops 6.5kg and well suited out to 1300m (+200m). Last start Rosehill G4 off 56 days 2d up went back 6th early on a fast tempo and ran 3rd beaten 1.7L by Tristate. I expect that race to be a very good future form reference. Overall figures from race were strong and he closed off fast- that run was excellent. Trained on this track, proven on soft and has won out to 1600m. Great set up for him today with 52kg off a good map and should lead and control.

R6 n9 ZHENG YOU Was an impressive trial winner before a nice run on debut when 2a behind Mixed Signals who has won again since and looks promising. Will have derived plenty of benefit from that run and the step up to 1200m looks perfect, hard to beat.

R4 n3 SURPRISE COMING 3rd start today for new trainer and is ready to win. Last start when 2nd up he went forward from a wide draw to be 6th and wide on a very fast tempo, his effort to run 2nd there beaten narrowly was excellent. Off an inside draw today and out to 1400m with previous winning rider back aboard he looks very hard to beat.
