Back to 1600m after 6.8 lengths 5th to Real Love in G3 JRA Cup (2040m) at Moonee Valley on 30 September when had little luck in running. Changed stables since that run. Glues on shoes for first time. Market should guide to prospects.

Mabeel
Slow pace against when 4.75 lengths 12th to Voodoo Lad in G3 Moonga Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 15 October. That was first run since April. Expect better.
3
Petrology
Past three runs on soft ground and drier track likely to help. Worked home late when 2.7 lengths 4th to Sandhill Warrior in Listed Murray Bridge Cup (1600m) on 12 October.
4
Flow Meter
Sound effort when long neck 2nd to Sandhill Warrior in Listed Murray Bridge Cup (1600m) on 12 October. Then settled too far back when 2.4 lengths 4th to King’s Pardon in Gawler Cup (1500m) on 23 October.
5
Survived
Not raced since July when unplaced over 2000m at this track. Ran 2.85 lengths 3rd to Nevis in Listed race at this distance at the first run of his previous campaign.
6
Coronation Shallan
Weakened late to finish disappointing 8.2 lengths last of 11 behind Kaniana in G3 Tesio Stakes (1600m) for mares at Moonee Valley on 22 October (track slow). Had run well seven of previous eleven at distance. Perhaps needs dry track.
7
Coldstone
French import who covered ground in Australian debut when 10.7 lengths 11th to Chetwood in Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 8 October. Then chased well when 3.25 lengths 2nd to the in-form Master Reset in Peninsula Cup (1600m) at Mornington last Sunday.

Lucky Paddy
Good effort at just second run in almost 12 months when 4 lengths 3rd to Master Reset in Moonee Valley 1500m BM 90 Handicap on 21 October. Won two of three at 1600m.
9
Carlo Bugatti
Irish import who hasn’t raced since March when won over 2000m at Mornington. Placed at 1800m at this track at his previous run which was after a long break. Can’t be ignored.
10
Streetwise Savoire
Sound on-pace effort when 1.75 lengths 2nd to Grande Rosso in Bendigo 1400m BM 90 Handicap on 26 October and that form is good enough to be competitive here.
11
Last Bullet
Impressed at second run this season when half length winner from Simpatico in Morphettville Parks 1400m BM 70 Handicap. One unplaced run at trip was in G1 as a three-year-old.
12
Loyalty Man
Fitter for second run this season when drew wide and settled back before finishing 7.45 lengths 12th to Murt The Flirt in leader dominated 1400m BM 84 at Caulfield. Won three of four at distance.
13
Boom Time
Blocked for clear run in straight when 1.85 lengths 3rd to Vital Importance in Sale 1400m BM 78 Handicap on 23 October. That was on heavy ground. Drier track would suit.
14
Hell On Earth
Sound effort when 0.6 lengths 4th to Refulgent in Moonee Valley 1600m Handicap on 21 October (good track). That followed successive wins at this distance on heavy ground.
