Verdict

ZOUCLAIRE (11) raced in rich company in her maiden preparation and looked a run short resuming at Sandown-Hillside after a stable switch. The blinkers go on for the first time and Jamie Melham goes aboard. Steps up to a mile, and the well-bred filly will be tough to beat. SHE'S A BEAUTY (8) found one better here last time from a wide draw but improved again and she has an inside gate today. She's going well enough to take seriously. ILOVETHISTOWN (2) has pieces of form that would see him in the finish and may show more fourth-up and on a better surface. He's on a quick back-up and the inside barrier should advantage. CAPITAL GRACE (5) missed a whisker at Bairnsdale, stepping up to this trip. She's still shy of her best and can't be ruled out.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 5 over 1500m, slow going 1.75 len behind Kastun Star with 57.5kg at $9. The start before that 4th of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on August 26 over 1500m, 5 len behind Call Me Phil with 57.5kg at $5.50. Nice draw and worth plenty of thought.

First starter by Raise The Flag out of La Victoire. Has a total of three trials prior to his debut today. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

At the latest run did the work up front then tired 7th of 9 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on September 7 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Lots Of Time carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on August 18 over 1600m, 3 len behind You Never Can Tell with 57.5kg at $41. Risking.

Racing well recently. Last start came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 5 over 1500m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Kastun Star carrying 57kg at $4.40.
