QUICKSTER (7) is very interesting. She had no luck in the G2 Fillies Classic at Moonee Valley last time but her last 100m was eye-catching. Plenty of upside and Flemington should suit her nicely. If she can land midfield and find clear running, she'll be very hard to hold out. SCHWARZ (6) was dominant on debut at Gosford but missed the start at Moonee Valley and struggled from there. If he jumps cleanly he'll be hard to catch. DON'T HOPE DO (2) led and was solid at Moonee Valley last time over 1200m. His breeding suggests this trip will suit and he should be hard to run down. PANTELONE (3) has been racing well against the older horses. Up to 1400m but that should be fine, he must be considered. ALSONSO (12) looked a good thing and got the job done at Benalla by 5.5 lengths. Deserves another crack at this level.

Group 2 placegetter. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 9 at Rosehill Tapp-Craig on October 7 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Makarena carrying 55kg at $7. The race before that faded in the straight 10th of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 3 len behind Militarize with 56.5kg at $151. Has to carry a big weight but brings good form.
Group 3 placegetter. Lining up for just third start. At debut, raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Bendigo Mdn-Sw October 8 over 1000m defeating Glowlight carrying 57kg at $6.50. Last start led but faded 3rd of 7 at Moonee Valley in the G3 Red Anchor Stks on 2October 8 over 1200m, 2 len behind Archo Nacho with 57kg at $26. Progressive type who will prove hard to catch.
Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Geelong Bm70 on October 25 over 1300m, head behind Boldinho carrying 56.5kg at $1.80. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Mornington Cg&E Bm70 September 30 over 1200m defeating Prancing Spirit carrying 54kg at $3. Racing in top form, will be hard to beat.
Group 3 winner. Most recently got back early 10th of 16 at this track in the G1 Coolmore Stud on November 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Ozzmosis carrying 55kg at $201. The start before that got back early 5th of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 21 over 1200m, 3 len behind Arkansaw Kid carrying 56.5kg at $21. Unlikely.
Group 3 placegetter. Most recently raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Classic on October 28 over 1600m, 6 len behind Skybird carrying 57kg at $11. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 13 at this track in the G2 E Manifold on October 7 over 1600m, slow going 3 len behind Zardozi with 56kg at $8.50. Prefer to watch at this stage.
Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, scored a big 3.5 len win at Gosford Mdn October 5 over 1200m defeating Likeabomb with 56.5kg at $1.30. Last start 4th of 7 at Moonee Valley in the G3 Red Anchor Stks on October 28 over 1200m, 2 len behind Archo Nacho with 57kg at $4. Talented colt who will be hard to beat with a clean getaway.
Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Pakenham Synthetic 3yo Mdn on October 4 over 1200m, head behind Colleano with 56kg at $3.80. Last start 4th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Classic on October 28 over 1600m, 3 len behind Skybird carrying 57kg at $21. Very good last time without luck. Will be very hard to hold out.
Group 3 placegetter. Third-up today. Resuming favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Geelong 3yo F Mdn-Sw October 5 over 1143m in soft going defeating Furosshi with 57kg at $2.80. Last start 4th of 12 at Geelong Bm64 on 2October 5 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Jennipending carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. No surprise if she was in the finish.
At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Caulfield 3yo F SWP on October 14 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Sheva with 56kg at $9.50. Before that 5th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo F-Qlty on October 1 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Carina Queen carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
Third-up today. Resuming came from midfield and won by a neck at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw October 6 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Elphinstone with 58kg at $7. Second-up 5th of 8 at Caulfield 3yo C&G-Swp on October 21 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Brave Mead with 56kg at $10. Should go well in this line up.
Second run back. First-up after four months 4th in a small field at Cranbourne 3yo Bm64 on October 13 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Jewel Bay with 59.5kg at $14. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Sale 2yo Mdn-Sw June 7 over 1108m in soft going defeating Il Cubo with 58kg at $6. Needs to lift.
Last start favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 5.5 len win at Benalla Mdn-Sw October 30 over 1406m defeating Cantolago with 57kg at $1.30. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Reprisal carrying 58kg at $2.30. Dominant last time and looks deserving of a crack at this.
Last start favourite; won by 4.5 len at Mornington 3yo Mdn-Sw October 27 over 1200m defeating Pano's Pride carrying 58kg at $2. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late with blinkers first time; 3rd of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1200m, slow going 0.5 len behind Reprisal carrying 58kg at $14. Others read better. This will test.

Last start 5th of 7 at Moonee Valley in the G3 Red Anchor Stks on October 28 over 1200m, 6 len behind Archo Nacho carrying 57kg at $9. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

The race before that second last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Vase on October 28 over 2040m, 21 len behind Apulia carrying 55kg at $101. Has a nice gate but this will test.

Second-up favourite; settled well back; won by 1.3 len at Sale 3yo Mdn-Sw October 29 over 1400m defeating Superior Zara with 58kg at $1.80. Genuine contender who finds a suitable race.
