APULIA (5) was scratched from the Derby trial at Flemington after becoming fractious in the gates. He closed off strongly at Moonee Valley when last seen and has jumped out in the interim. Suited to 1800m and will be hard to hold out. RIFF ROCKET (6) comes down from Sydney having shown good staying promise. He was beaten over this trip last start at Rosehill but is on the up and gets J-Mac from barrier 1. FISTSOFFURY (2) beat Apuila at Moonee Valley and then went to the G2 Stutt Stakes, running okay behind Griff. Should relish getting to 1800m now. AMBASSADORIAL (3) tried hard in the lead in the Derby trial, sticking on to be beaten 1.4 lengths. Hard to knock the stable and he'll be very hard to get by. RIPROAR (8) next best.

Useful colt. Last start 5th of 9 at this track 3yo C&G-Swp on September 24 over 1800m, 7 len behind Gold Bullion carrying 58.5kg at $13. The start before that 4th of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp on August 26 over 1519m, 2.5 len behind Ambassadorial with 60kg at $21. Genuine hope on best form.
Useful type. Last start 6th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 29 over 1600m, 4 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $10. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp September 9 over 1500m defeating Apulia carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Just even at G2 level latest but suited to this trip now.
Racing well. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track 3yo C&G-Swp on September 24 over 1800m, 1.4 len behind Gold Bullion carrying 58.5kg at $8.50. The run before that won by a long-neck at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp August 26 over 1519m defeating Robrick with 56.5kg at $16. Will be up on speed and giving a sight.
Group 3 placegetter. At the latest run with blinkers first time; 7th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 29 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $26. The race before that got back early 10th of 15 at this track in the LR Exford Plate on September 16 over 1400m, 6 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $26. Will be winding up strongly.
Group 2 placegetter. Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw August 20 over 1500m on a soft track defeating Pariah Pearl with 58kg at $1.10. Second run from a spell 2nd of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp on September 9 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Fistsoffury with 58.5kg at $4.50. Scratched from Flemington but was very strong late at Moonee Valley and should relish this trip.
Third-up today. Resuming favourite; won by a head at Kembla Grange Cl1 September 14 over 1500m defeating Snowman with 57.5kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell 2nd of 9 at Rosehill Bm72 on September 27 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Snowman carrying 54.5kg at $2.60. Brings some different form and looks to have plenty of staying promise.
Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track 3yo C&G-Swp on September 24 over 1800m, long-neck behind Gold Bullion carrying 56kg at $19. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at Donald Mdn-Sw August 29 over 1624m in soft going defeating Jefferson carrying 57kg at $2.50. Worth thought after getting close last time.
At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Bendigo 0 - 64 September 14 over 1500m defeating Wilmot Pass carrying 56.5kg at $1.50. Before that 7th of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp on August 26 over 1519m, 4.5 len behind Ambassadorial carrying 53.5kg at $6.50. Can build on that run.
Second run back. First-up after four months ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw September 20 over 1500m defeating Binotto with 58kg at $8. Previously second-up second last of 9 at this track 2yo SWP on May 20 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Le Zebra carrying 57kg at $17. This is tougher so prefer others.
Lining up for just third start. At debut, favourite; won by a nose at Kembla Grange Cg&E Mdn-Sw August 26 over 1200m defeating Rapido carrying 56.5kg at $21. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Goulburn Cl2 September 22 over 1500m defeating Amigos No More with 57kg at $3.30. Cannot be taken lightly.
Third-up today. Resuming second last of 8 at Moonee Valley 3yo C&G-Swp on August 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind Scentify with 56kg at $21. Second run from a spell 11th of 15 at this track in the LR Exford Plate on September 16 over 1400m, 7 len behind Griff with 57kg at $21. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
Lining up for just third start. At debut, came from midfield and won by a head at Bendigo Mdn-Sw August 31 over 1400m defeating Gallant Prince carrying 57kg at $6. Last start 2nd in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on September 20 over 1600m, long-neck behind Sirius Black carrying 57kg at $4.50. This race is well within his grasp.
Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily with blinkers first time; 5th of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp on September 9 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Fistsoffury with 55kg at $26. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4.5 len win at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn-Sw August 22 over 1400m defeating Attaboom with 58kg at $1.40. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 9 at Pakenham Synthetic 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 1 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Razzo Rosso with 58kg at $4.50. Last start won by 1.0 len at Seymour Mdn-Sw September 17 over 1425m in soft going defeating Tietar carrying 57kg at $17. Hard to recommend on recent form.
Most recently ran last of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 29 over 1600m, 6 len behind Griff with 57kg at $26. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Bendigo Mdn-Sw September 14 over 1600m defeating Divus Romulus carrying 57kg at $26. Looks outclassed.
At the latest run favourite; settled well back; won by a nose at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw September 19 over 1600m defeating Missy Spike carrying 55kg at $1.50. The race before that 3rd of 11 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on August 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Too Big with 55kg at $7.50. Last-start winner but needs to improve further.
Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 12 at Donald Mdn-Sw on August 29 over 1624m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Sunsets with 57kg at $2.60. Last start favourite; won by 1.75 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw September 15 over 1726m defeating Highly Likely carrying 57kg at $2.40. Better off looking to others.
Going well. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Kembla Grange Super Mdn-Sw on September 23 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Princess Rayaa carrying 56.5kg at $2.90. The start before that with blinkers first time; 3rd of 10 at Kembla Grange Super Mdn on September 14 over 1500m, long-neck behind Good Vintage carrying 58kg at $3. Genuine hope on latest effort.
Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on September 28 over 2088m, 2 len behind Miss You Too carrying 57kg at $3. The start before that 5th of 10 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on August 25 over 1765m, 2.5 len behind Jennivamoose with 57kg at $17. Other runners are much more appealing.
Last start 9th of 15 at this track in the LR Exford Plate on September 16 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Griff with 57kg at $201. The race before that second last of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 6 over 1500m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Gold Bullion carrying 58kg at $6.50. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.
