Model win 3.66 · place 1.54

At $16.00 average effort when 12th last start around here but up against a less challenging field. Displaying good ability this preparation but has to carry more weight this time. Stands out as good value.

Most recently 12th of 16 in the G1 Epsom Handicap at this track on October 3 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind God's Window carrying 50kg at $16. The run before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len in a Bm88 at this track on September 19 over 1600m defeating Knobelas carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Best figures read well - this is a far more suitable test.

Put the race away quickly here two back. Unlucky in the Epsom when held up in the straight. Can bounce back.

Sixth-up after finishing 12th in a G1 mile at Randwick, where keen-going and a check near the 200m hampered his finish. An earlier Randwick 1600m win this prep and the return to 1500m keep him firmly in the picture.

Barrier 2 · Jockey Zac Lloyd · Trainer John O'shea & Tom Charlton · 59.5kg · Form 7x77630x43

Model win 3.43 · place 1.50

Made considerable ground when 3rd last start at Rosehill and drawn nicely. Has more weight to carry. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 4th of 10 in the G3 Bill Ritchie Handicap at this track on September 19 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind General Salute with 57kg at $5.50. Last start 3rd of 15 in the G3 Alan Brown Stakes at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Formal Display carrying 55.5kg at $5. Capable of a better showing. Perfectly drawn and should be in the finish again.

Closed well in a dash home first up with only the winner running a faster last 200m. Was doing his best work late again second up. Go well.

Sixth-up following a close third in a G3 1400m at Rosehill, where he was held up near the 400m; the extra 100m looks suitable. The 4kg rise is a test, but that run and his class record make him a major winning hope.

Odds of $12.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last time at Caulfield. Happy to forgive that run and have to respect the form at this distance. Will go close here.

At the latest run 10th of 15 in the G1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield on October 10 over 1600m, 3 len behind Lady Shenandoah with 58kg at $12. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 16 in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Angel Capital with 56.5kg at $7. Will prove very tough to beat in this thinner race.

Hasn't finished his races off at his last two runs after sitting handy to the pace. Drops in class and should return to best.

Sixth-up after running 10th in a G1 1600m at Caulfield; his earlier 1500m win this prep is a better guide to his chance. The shorter trip and forward map make him a strong danger.

Right in contention last run at Caulfield and going down in class. Tyler Donaldson Aitken stable are on a hot streak. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Lines up against a competitive field.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 15 in the G1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield on October 10 over 1600m, long-neck behind Lady Shenandoah carrying 52.5kg at $16. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len in the LR Tontonan (Sofitel) Stakes at Flemington on September 12 over 1400m defeating Cote Atlantique with 54kg at $14. Genuine sprinter/miler who must be included.

Well ridden and too good at Flemington then dashed for home only to be grabbed late in the Toorak. Hard to beat.

Third-up after a close third in a G1 1600m at Caulfield, bringing strong figures into this 1500m race. The 3.5kg rise is notable, but he remains a major winning chance.

Model win 32.37 · place 6.39

Was $91.00 and finished 6th last start at Rosehill. Can't have in this.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up from last on the turn ran second last of 11 in a G2 The Shorts at this track on September 19 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Mazu carrying 55kg at $101. Second-up 6th of 15 in the G3 Alan Brown Stakes at Rosehill on October 10 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Formal Display with 53kg at $91. In the mix.

Tempo and class were against him first up. Very wide and still hit the line in the Alan Brown at big odds. Each way.

Sixth-up after finishing sixth in a G3 1400m at Rosehill, beaten 1.6 lengths after racing wide throughout. An earlier BM100 win over 1440m is encouraging, though recent form leaves him with ground to make up.

Started $5.00 and disappointing run when 8th last time at Flemington. Might be ridden for luck. Needs to find a lot more.

Most recently got back early 8th of 11 in the LR Paris Lane Stakes at Flemington on October 3 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Cote Atlantique carrying 54kg at $5. Before that 5th of 13 in the LR Tontonan (Sofitel) Stakes at Flemington on September 12 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Welcometotheshow carrying 54kg at $5.50. Others have better credentials.

Very good taking out the Goulburn Cup fresh. Luckless after getting back at Flemington two back. Rider heard a respiratory noise last time.

Sixth-up and eighth in a heavy-track LR at Flemington, where respiratory issues were recorded and he did not handle the going. A return to good ground is a plus, but recent figures still leave him with ground to make up.

Model win 45.25 · place 8.18

First up after 23 weeks and finished with purpose when winning first up last preparation at Rosehill. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Proven runner at this trip. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Resuming after a break of five-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when last of 13 at Doomben in the LR Bernborough May 16 over 1600m, soft track; 9 len behind War Eternal with 58.5kg at $6.50. Previous preparation first-up won by head Rosehill G2 Ajax March 14 over 1500m defeating Robusto with 53kg at $5.50. Sure to be wound up for a strong return again.

Resuming (23 weeks). Close up in a couple of trials. First-up winner of the Ajax over this trip last time in. Give thought.

First-up from a break, with a close second in a recent trial as a tune-up. His earlier 1500m form includes a G2 win, but after a distant 13th last start he needs to return to that level.

Started $21.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last start at Caulfield. Needs significant improvement.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 6th of 9 in the LR Testa Rossa Stakes at Caulfield on September 27 over 1440m, 2 len behind Regal Zeus carrying 58.5kg at $13. Second run from a spell 8th of 14 in the LR Weekend Hussler Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Persian Spirit carrying 59kg at $21. Requires sharp improvement.

Getting fitter and ready to show more. Did early work second up and not disgraced. Proven when travelling and could be value.

Sixth-up after finishing eighth in the LR 1400m at Caulfield, having raced three wide; his previous sixth there came after he was held up late. He drops 1.5kg and has enough recent form to threaten.

Started at $4.80 and overtook some late when 5th last start at Caulfield. Place claims at best.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 5th of 14 in the LR Weekend Hussler Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 1400m, 2 len behind Persian Spirit with 55.5kg at $4.80. Before that 4th of 9 in the LR Testa Rossa Stakes at Caulfield on September 27 over 1440m, 1.75 len behind Regal Zeus carrying 57kg at $3.50. Wide draw a test.

Ran on well fresh. 1100m to 1400m and tempo too slow second up. Okay next time, but didn't savage the line. Each way.

Fifth-up after a fifth in the LR 1400m at Caulfield, beaten 2 lengths; his previous run there was also competitive. The 1500m is within range and his recent figures make him a sound chance.

Model win 162 · place 21.08

First up after a break. Started at $10.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at Eagle Farm. Likely to settle back in the field. Looks to be in trouble.

First-up. Finished off last campaign eighth of 10 at Eagle Farm in the LR Tatts Mile Qlty June 27 over 1600m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Sun God carrying 57.5kg at $10. Previously first up; fourth of 10 at this track Bm100 April 25 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Hellsing with 58kg at $10. Might be better off following this outing.

Resuming (17 weeks). Placed in a Scone trial. Unlucky in the Scone Cup three back, but didn't fire in Brisbane. May need it.

Resumes from a break after a close third in a recent trial; his last official start was an eighth in a LR mile. The trial is a useful tune-up, but his race form needs to improve.

Started at $151.00 and ran 10th last run at this track and facing stiffer opposition. Entitled to be a big price.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after four months 10th of 17 in a Bm94 at this track on October 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Unleeshing with 59kg at $151. Previously second-up 7th of 15 in the LR Scone Cup on May 15 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Hellsing with 54kg at $17. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Back/wide and needed the run first up. Likely to need this as well over a trip short of his best. Will appeal more next time.

Sixth-up after running 10th in a BM94 mile at Randwick, beaten 6.5 lengths. A lighter impost and shorter trip are positives, though his recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Didn't threaten when 10th last start at Caulfield. Might have to make up considerable ground.

Didn't savage the line first up despite getting a soft run. Maybe he is looking for further, but want a market push to step in now.

Racing and Sports

EVAPORATE (2) finished 3 lengths from the winner in tenth last time out in the G1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield over 1600m. Form over this journey is strong, boasting three wins from six starts. Well placed in this far easier grade. Major player. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (12) is a talented mare who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by God's Window over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into 12th. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be hard to stop. LINEBACKER (1) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1400m in the G3 Alan Brown Stakes at Rosehill. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Well placed and is one of the main contenders. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish a long neck back in third over 1600m in the G1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield. Ready to go a couple better.

Dabble

EVAPORATE (2) Tailed off to finish 10th last time at Caulfield. Happy to forgive that run and will find this grade more suitable. Strong form at the distance. Serious player. LINEBACKER (1) Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd last start at Rosehill and will try to take advantage of the draw. Carrying more weight than last time. Winning prospect. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (12) Not up to standard when 12th last start at this venue but has been racing in stronger company. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Respect in this event. HARRY'S YACHT (9) Advanced late into 5th last start at Caulfield. Worth an each way bet in this.

Timeform (FanDuel)

EVAPORATE (2) scored convincingly three runs back over this distance at Sandown and has subsequently struggled in Group 1 races. Finds his right level today and is beautifully treated under the set weights and penalties. Big chance to return to winning ways. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (12) dominated two back in a BM88 over the mile here then found the Epsom a bridge too far a fortnight ago. Talented mare who gets weight off all her rivals which puts her right in contention. LINEBACKER (1) settled worse than midfield then closed in good style to get up for third in the Group 3 Alan Brown over 7f at Rosehill last time. A better Randwick horse and should be close to his peak now. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (7) ran the race of his life in the Toorak last start, looking the winner until the shadow of the post. Drawn to play a key role again. CRISTAL CLEAR (3) won the Group 2 Ajax over this distance when fresh from a spell last prep. Cannot be underestimated first-up from a 23-week lay-off.

Best Bets

5YOs on their path to the $2M 1800m Five Diamonds in a fortnight. 2, 6, 7, 9 and 10 have other options so we look bound to lose at least a couple. As is we can expect pace from 3 ahead of 5, 7 and 2. LINEBACKER not part of that group but from a low barrier he may well be able to settle a lot closer than he did in the race two weeks ago. We know he hasn't been a frequent winner since his 3YO days but he is unquestionably well placed here. Has won the Randwick Guineas and Silver Eagle for Zac Lloyd. WELCOMETOTHESHOW has done a great job going through his grades and here he is now a G1 placegetter. Hard to beat in whatever option is chosen.

Darren Flindell

The penultimate race of the day is the Five Diamonds Prelude over 1500m for a million dollars. 2. EVAPORATE has not been beaten far in his last couple of starts in G1 company, and he will notice the dip in class for this. He was probably half a run short at Caulfield after missing some work prior to a minor leg injury. Nash Rawiller is back in the saddle, and he is good enough to take this out. 12. DECLICHY BOULEVARD should have finished closer in the Epsom last time out when ridden for luck, and missing a run at the vital stage in the run home. Tommy Berry is back in the saddle, and she is still nicely placed at the weights, so stick with her. Each way. 1. LINEBACKER is nearing his best form again, and he has hit the line strongly in each of his runs back from a spell, finishing close up in the G3 Alan Brown Stakes 2 weeks ago at Rosehill. Hard to beat. 7. WELCOMETOTHESHOW was only beaten by a neck in the G1 Toorak Handicap 2 weeks ago, and should be on all quaddie tickets.

Racing Central

LINEBACKER (1) should settle just off the speed, while EVAPORATE (2) presses forward in the contest for control. LINEBACKER (1) was a close third in a G3 1400m at Rosehill after being held up near the 400m; that effort gives him leading claims despite a 4kg rise. EVAPORATE (2) drops back from a G1 mile after finishing 10th, but an earlier 1500m win this prep keeps him firmly in contention. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (7) comes off a close third in a G1 1600m with strong figures, though the weight rise is notable. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (12) is the market's shortest, but needs to bounce back from a checked 12th in a G1 mile; an earlier Randwick win keeps him among the main hopes.
