SUPERSTOCK (7)<\/strong> is third-up and ready to run a nice race at each-way odds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since he last won a race, but he has been around the mark in both runs back, landing midfield last time out at Geelong and holding that spot all the way to grab fifth. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is his first go over 2000m, but working up in distance and proven on wet tracks, he\u2019ll be in this for a long way under Jake Noonan, who pilots from a soft gate. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 5 Ten Commandments\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Ciaron Maher has opted to take on the Sale Cup with TEN COMMANDMENTS (5)<\/strong>, rather than Friday\u2019s meeting at Cranbourne. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This talented seven-year-old arrives in good form having won the Gold Nugget at Ballarat two back, before taking on Listed company at Headquarters where he plugged along fairly on a very wet day over 1400m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to like about him back out over the mile now, particularly with slightly firmer ground expected. Thomas Stockdale rode him to win in the Gold Nuggett and appears to have a few options from barrier 7.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 16 Hedjet\u00a0 <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

HEDJET (16)<\/strong> is down to race at Bendigo next week but looks a good chance at running here if he earns a spot in the field as the second emergency. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton McDonald\u2019s gelding to American Pharoah was an impressive winner of his maiden last start at Geelong, bolting forward early into stride and making every post a winner to finish three lengths clear. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s in well at the weights here set to carry 56kg and maps to repeat those tactics in a race that doesn\u2019t appear to hold a ton of early speed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 5 Electric Elvis\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

ELECTRIC ELVIS (5)<\/strong> is a noted wet tracker who could be dangerous here with a ton of respectable form to his name. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s looking to snap a string of placings that dates back to July, while he\u2019s managed to jag a pair of wins over his last five starts \u2013 both on rain-affected going. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The step back up to 1200m is right in his wheelhouse following a runner-up effort over shorter at Seymour last start, and considering he was off a six-week break that day, he should have good improvement to come. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
