Verdict

DECANTED (2) is knocking on the door of another win having just found one better at his past couple of starts. He's been costly in those, going under at $2.50 and $2.80 but is racing well and this won't take any more winning. He'll be up on speed and very hard to run down. TUXEDO MISS (10) struggled when in the market last time but had been going okay prior and has genuine each way claims. MISS HIMALAYA (11) stuck on well for third at Wangaratta last time out and should be thereabouts once more. FOREVER WITH NED (3) is fresh for this but good enough at her best and both wins have been on heavy.

5	Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign eighth of 11 at Terang Bm62 February 20 over 7f, 3.5 len behind Suze Spritz carrying 127lbs at $18. At her first start won by 1.0 len Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw January 1 over 6f defeating Oceanella with 125lbs at $9.50. Has upside and can figure prominently. 2nd Pick 5 Sheanadh Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Mark Walker J: Non Runner T: Mark Walker	74	-	-	-	1%	Scratched

10	Last start 9th of 12 in a 0 - 56 at Warracknabeal on August 15 over 6f, on a slow track, 5.5 len behind Artpark carrying 128lbs at $2.80. The start before that made some head-way from midfield, 3rd of 10 in a F&M Bm56 at Geelong on July 31 over 6f, on a slow track, 1.5 len behind That's All Good with 132lbs at $16. Better than the last effort suggests and is worth another chance. 3rd Pick 10 Tuxedo Miss Jockey: Thomas Stockdale Trainer: Archie Alexander J: Thomas Stockdale T: Archie Alexander	147	-	-	-	12%	15/2

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Bolt

A sudden veering to the inside or outside rail, often caused by the horse spooking or shying from something.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.
