EXPULSION (12) is overdue and looks well placed in this. Gave a sight in tougher company latest when found one better. Looks hard to beat on recent form. HIGHSTRUNG (11) was solid fresh then raced on speed and just edged out last time. Ready to win and will be in this for a long way. CALIFORNIA FLYER (5) is fitter for two runs in and both have been in richer company and both tracks at Sandown. Returns to home track and can improve sharply. FLASH ALICE (6) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 1230m at Geelong. Has a tricky gate to overcome but is close to a maiden success. FLAVIUS (16) wasn't well away on debut but quickly mustered speed and gave a sight before being swamped late. Trained here and looks a likely improver.

Gelding by Shamus Award on debut. Ran 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out on July 21. Makes debut at home but prepared to risk this time from an awkward barrier.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation 5th of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Clavel carrying 57kg at $11. When resuming last campaign 4th of 8 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Deep Pleasure carrying 56kg at $7. Ran 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out on July 21. Resuming in easier on home track and must be kept safe.

Recent form sound. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on July 16 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Exit with 56kg at $13. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 22 over 1200m, 6 len behind Bacash with 53kg at $4.40. Overdue and capable of notching first win here.

Second-up. First-up after five months 11th of 14 at Bendigo 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 13 over 1000m, in the wet; 11 len behind Cannyworth carrying 54.5kg at $31. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind Vinrock carrying 56kg at $21. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Resuming off six-and-a-half months break after having had one race start. At debut last start second last of 11 at Pakenham 3yo C&G&E Mdn-Sw on January 10 over 1200m, 15 len behind Untapped carrying 58kg at $91. Had four recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial runner-up in a Pakenham jump-out on July 22. Might be better off following this outing.
