WINDSOR CHARIOT (8) was beaten as favourite on debut at Pakenham Synthetic, yet the margin was only four and a half lengths and his earlier trial work suggests there is improvement to come at start two, especially going up in trip. TOWN PLANNER (13) is the fresh element, a $60,000 debutant for Patrick Payne who has trialled five times, including a Camperdown trial win and a Colac hit-out last week. Billy Egan on is a good sign, should be ready to go. PETE THE PROPHET (5) is going okay, solid to the line at Hamilton when back to 1400m last time. He gets a soft run and can improve. TED PERCY (7) is coming along well with back-to-back placings and looks a live chance.

Made limited impact on debut at Hamilton, settling rearward and keeping on when ninth, beaten just over six lengths by Moving Point. He was only an outside chance in the betting and now tackles 1600m for the first time from a wide barrier. Can improve out in trip.

Has been building fitness this campaign and his Hamilton sixth last start was better than the bare result, as he raced wide throughout and was beaten just under six lengths by Moving Point. The run prior was less convincing, finishing seventh and beaten over 11 lengths after being supported in an open market. A place chance if he lifts on recent margins.

Led at Manangatang last start and was still there into the lane, but raced keenly through the middle stages and tired late to finish sixth, beaten three lengths. His earlier Mildura run was plain at big odds, albeit after jumping awkwardly and being checked near the 1000m. Has to produce a new peak.

Has put together two thirds, most recently at Mildura when slow away, bumped in the run and still made ground from well back to be beaten four and a half lengths by Apocalypse. Coming along okay and has claims.

Started favourite on debut at Pakenham Synthetic but could manage only seventh, beaten four and a half lengths by Angelotti after settling midfield and keeping on. There was no major excuse, so improvement is required, but his lead-up trial profile was encouraging and the Hayes stable usually gives these types time to come on. Should be right there.

Recent form is hard to recommend, with a second-last at Halidon following a last at Pooncarie where she was beaten over 17 lengths. She was unwanted in the market last start and there was no strong excuse in the run, despite beginning slowly. Hard to make a case.

Was safely held on debut at Mildura, finishing fifth and beaten just over eight lengths by Apocalypse after settling rearward and conceding a big start. He had trialled four times before that, so there was some base behind him, but the market allowed him to go around at long odds. Improvement required from a wide draw.

Debuts for Patrick Payne after a busy trial build-up, including a Camperdown trial win over 1400m and a Colac trial last week. He cost $60,000 and comes from a family with winners, while the stable's debut figures give some confidence that he can be ready enough on race day. Have to respect the strong combination.
