Banxi brings strong form credentials with a 3rd and 4th in his last two starts. The wide barrier is a concern, but with Jye McNeil aboard and a strong finishing burst, he should be right in the finish.

Siam Emerald brings solid recent form with a 3rd last start at Pakenham over 1600m. He's drawn well in barrier 3 which should allow him to take up a forward position in the run.
Cosmic brings the strongest recent form into this race, finishing 3rd last start at Donald over 1620m. While drawn wide in barrier 12, the moderate-fast tempo should allow her to find a position midfield and finish strongly. Her consistency suggests she's ready to break through.
She's shown improvement from her first to second start and looks ready for this distance.

Very Torquee brings the most reliable form to this race with consecutive second placings in similar company. The addition of blinkers for the first time could be the catalyst for a breakthrough win. His racing pattern suits the moderate-fast tempo expected, and he's proven on Good tracks. With just 13 days since his last run, he should be at peak fitness.
The well-bred I Am Invincible colt should improve second-up and the removal of the cross-over nose band is a positive gear change.
The addition of blinkers should help him focus better, and the Freedman stable knows how to prepare a maiden winner. The wide barrier is a concern at Kyneton, but with Daniel Stackhouse aboard, he should get every chance if finding cover early. Expect improvement second-up.
Her last start 3rd placing shows she's finding form, and the moderate-fast tempo should suit her running style. Craig Newitt is a strong jockey booking, and barrier 7 gives options.

Millennium Blade brings the strongest form references, dropping significantly from Open company where he was competitive. Maps to get a perfect midfield position and should prove too classy.
Clevor Trever is an interesting debutant from the in-form Payne stable. The barrier draw (4) is ideal at Kyneton where inside gates are advantaged. Expected to show early speed and potentially lead, which is a significant advantage at this track.
Apres showed promise on debut when finishing 3rd at Kilmore over 1100m on a Soft 6 track. The Freedman stable is renowned for having their horses improve second-up, and the booking of Jamie Mott is significant. Drawn to get a good position in midfield and should be finishing strongly. Has scope for improvement from debut run.
Dance Lady represents excellent value after a strong 2nd last start at Swan Hill over this distance. The inside barrier (3) is a significant advantage at Kyneton where the track bias favors inside gates. The Simon Zahra stable has been in good form, and she maps to get a good run in transit.

Rattle'n'roll brings strong credentials first-up from a spell for the Hawkes stable. His second-up record is excellent with 2 seconds from 2 attempts, and he's been placed in 3 of his 7 career starts. His best form is at this distance range with 2 seconds and a third from 5 starts. The wide barrier is a concern, but Teodore Nugent should be able to find cover midfield and finish strongly.
Topmost brings excellent place credentials to this maiden with 6 placings from 7 starts. He's been freshened after a consistent last preparation where he placed in 4 of 5 starts. Jamie Mott is a strong jockey booking, and from barrier 6, he should get a nice run midfield.
Lowestoft brings solid credentials first-up for the Moody/Coleman stable. With 1 second and 1 third from just 3 career starts, she's shown ability early in her career. Her first-up record shows she can perform fresh with 1 second from 1 attempt. Luke Nolen is a quality jockey booking, and from barrier 8, she should get a nice run midfield. The removal of blinkers is interesting and could help her settle better.
While she's yet to break through after 11 starts, she has placed at this track previously and her consistent recent form suggests she's ready to improve sharply in this easier assignment.

Miranda Park Mdn Plate
First-up from a spell but has placed when fresh previously. Her backmarker style should be suited by the very fast tempo predicted, and while drawn wide, she has the closing speed to overcome it. Daniel Stackhouse is a quality jockey who should give her every chance.
Ponte Arcobaleno is the definition of consistency with five seconds from 12 starts, including four seconds in his last six outings. Perfect at this distance with three seconds from three attempts. The wide barrier is a concern, but the predicted very fast tempo should allow him to find a position and finish strongly.
Second-up today with a history of improving sharply in this pattern (1 placing from 1 second-up attempt). The predicted very fast tempo should suit her running style, and she's drawn to get a good run from barrier 8.
The predicted very fast tempo should suit her running style, and while drawn in barrier 10, she has the ability to overcome it.

Happy 70th Paul Egan Mdn Plate
Has shown consistent ability with 3 starts for 2 seconds and 1 third, including a placing at this track. Drawn perfectly in barrier 5 and gets the services of Luke Currie. Clearly the one to beat.
Cardamom showed promise on debut when finishing second at Kilmore over 1200m just 18 days ago. The Freedman-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 2 which should allow her to take up a forward position at this track that favors on-pace runners. Gets the services of Daniel Stackhouse and carries just 56.5kg. The step up to 1454m is the query but has the scope to improve.
Princess Sakiko brings strong relevant form, finishing a close second at Kilmore over this exact distance last start. Shows an improving pattern after finishing 8th on debut and then 2nd. The wide barrier is a concern at this track, but she gets the services of top jockey John Allen. Has shown ability on soft going with a placing from one attempt and should be strong at the finish.
Her second-up record shows improvement and two starts back she ran a strong second over 1400m at Bendigo. Gets the services of top jockey Jye McNeil and the stable is known for placing their horses well.

RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race (Bm62)
Savamoon brings strong second-up credentials (1-0-1 from 2 attempts) and excellent distance form (1-1-2 from 4 starts). His last start 3rd in a BM66 at Kilmore reads well for this, and he's been racing consistently with 2 wins and 5 placings from 13 starts. The gelding should get a perfect midfield position despite the wide draw and has the finishing burst to capitalize on the expected fast tempo. Represents the best winning chance.
Frozen Tide brings excellent recent form including a win in BM66 company at Echuca. The perfect barrier draw will allow him to utilize his on-pace racing style, and he should be able to secure a prominent position from the inside gate. Has shown versatility in racing patterns and distance ranges, making him adaptable to how this race unfolds.
Brullen is a consistent performer with 8 placings from 20 starts and has been racing well recently with a 5th at Mornington in BM62 grade. His record at similar distances is solid (1-2-0 from 5 starts) and he's drawn well in barrier 6. While his win strike rate is modest at 10%, his place percentage of 50% makes him a reliable proposition to run into the placings again. The expected fast tempo should suit his racing style.
Luvya Mumma represents excellent value dropping significantly in class from metropolitan racing. While first-up from a spell and drawn wide, her class edge and lightweight should allow her to overcome these obstacles. The expected fast tempo will suit her get-back racing style, and she has a solid record on good tracks (1-0-3 from 7 starts).

Bet365 Top Finishes (Bm62)
Four-year-old gelding dropping in class after consecutive second placings in stronger company. Maps to get an ideal run from barrier 3 with Craig Newitt aboard. The step up in distance looks suitable based on his strong finishing efforts.
Five-year-old mare showing good progression with placings in her last two starts. Gets the services of Jamie Mott and should get a good run from barrier 4. The step up in distance looks suitable based on her racing pattern.
Four-year-old gelding with a previous win over 1800m at Horsham. Barrier 10 means he'll need some luck, but Ryan Hurdle should give him every chance.
Five-year-old gelding coming off a solid third placing at Warrnambool over 1700m just 11 days ago. The wide barrier is a concern, but Daniel Stackhouse is a positive jockey booking.

Celestial Legend @ Woodside Park (Bm56)
Jessup brings solid credentials with a consistent record at the distance (14: 2-5-3) and track (2: 0-1-1). Coming off a strong 2nd placing 11 days ago at Traralgon, he's dropping in class from a BM62 to this BM56. His inside barrier advantage at Kyneton's tight-turning track should allow him to settle in a favorable position. With a strong second-up record (4: 1-1-1) and proven ability on Good tracks (26: 3-5-5), he represents the most reliable winning chance.
Bold Response brings strong credentials with an excellent distance record (18: 3-4-2) and proven ability on Good tracks (15: 4-4-0). Coming off a 4th placing in a BM62, he's dropping in class which is a significant advantage. His wide barrier is a concern at Kyneton's tight-turning track, but his early speed should allow him to overcome this. Second-up record (4: 0-1-0) is the main query, but overall form and class edge make him a genuine winning chance.
Hustle brings improving form with a close 2nd at Mortlake followed by a solid 4th at this track over 1215m. Her distance record is solid (4: 1-0-1) and she performs well on Good tracks (7: 1-1-2). While rising in class is a concern, she's shown enough ability to suggest she can be competitive. The likely fast tempo should suit her running style, allowing her to finish strongly. Barrier 9 is workable at Kyneton with her tactical speed.
The wide barrier is a concern, but his early speed can help overcome this.

Hanging Rock New Years Day Races (Bm62)
Viasain brings strong credentials as a first-up specialist with 2 wins from 3 fresh starts. Jamie Mott is a significant booking, and the slight class drop works in his favor. Should get a good position despite the wider draw.
Her inside draw is ideal at Kyneton where barriers 1-6 are favored. The mare is lightly raced but progressive, coming off a solid 3rd placing. The class rise is the main query, but her raw ability and tactical speed make her a genuine threat.
Star Diesel brings significant advantages with barrier 1 at this leader-favoring track and a perfect 1-from-1 record at Kyneton over this distance. The long break is offset by his fresh credentials and ideal draw.
He's a proven performer at this distance with 3 wins from 12 attempts and drops in class from his last outing.
