Wodonga Race 1 - Tonkin Group Mdn Plate
Interesting way to start the day and the recent Melbourne Cup winners look to have a smart filly on their hands in GOD ONLY KNOWS (12). Has looked strong winning two recent jumpouts, one at Ballarat and another at Flemington, when there looked to be plenty left in the tank. Looks to have the racing style that will be able to take full advantage of the low draw. WINTER HAIL (7) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1000m at Bendigo but wasn't all that far from the winner. Won't find this as tough. Sure to go well. BRENLYN'S LEGACY (4) has been primed for a good return after placing in two trials leading into this. Rates highly and bold showing expected. WINGSANDPROPELLERS (3) gave a sight on debut, when not beaten far, and should be thereabouts again. KGALAGADI (5) is on debut and has been well held in his past two jumpouts, but went to the line with plenty in hand and gets the blinkers here.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second of 11 at Narrandera Super Mdn-Sw July 13 over 1000m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Dekadance with 57kg at $12. On debut fourth of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw May 24 over 1100m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Eye Succeed carrying 59.5kg at $51. Nice run last start but had a break since and turns up here off no public trials, so might need this.

At debut, 3rd of 13 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Chateau Vega with 59.5kg at $7. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track 2yo Hcp on May 24 over 1200m, slow going 2 len behind Impending War carrying 58kg at $21. Beaten by a smart one on debut and has trialled well since, so looks a key player.

Gelding by Snippetson on debut. Fitter for a jump-out on November 13 at Avoca when finished fourth. Well held in recent jumpouts but hasn't been knocked around and not prepared to dismiss from the good draw with blinkers going on.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 8 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on October 29 over 1000m, 2 len behind Cavern with 58kg at $9. Previously second-up 3rd of 10 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1200m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Everain with 57kg at $3.10. First run for the new stable but not beaten far in a strong maiden on Bendigo Cup Day last start, so will appreciate this company.

Three-year-old filly (Microphone - Jahre). Tony & Calvin McEvoy has her primed for this with six recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Flemington over 800m on November 14. Impressive winner of two recent jumpouts, when the rider never got to the bottom of her, and low draw a big plus.

At debut, faded in the straight 5th of 8 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1300m, on a wet track; 2.25 len behind Please Me Do with 57.5kg at $13. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Better for the debut run when led them up and might appreciate firmer track here.
