Recalculate will look to build on his good recent form when lining up in the City Of Warrnambool Open Handicap (1700m) today.
The Colin Scott-trained runner returned in good order to claim two wins and has not been far away in two outings since.
Running fourth behind Red Bomber over 1600m at Caulfield last start, Recalculaterates well on the back of that effort and looks well suited here despite going up slightly in trip to 1700m where untried.
Michelle Payne takes the ride for the first time today and from barrier 5 would expect him to settle just off the leaders.
The four-year-old gelding has won his only previous time at the course and fifth up off some very good recent form he should be ready to fire today.
Rates well on weight adjusted ratings with the 54kg and would certainly not be surprised to see him return to the winners circle against these.
Certainly looks a race in two and Turnitaround looms as the main danger off two good runs this time in.
Returned with a third placing at Geelong before winning over this trip at Flemington last start and is sure to measure right up here on the quick back up.
Likely to settle on the speed from the inside draw and has a good record when third up previously.
On the quick back up today but has a terrific record over the 1700m journey and he will certainly be right in the mix once again today.
Extra Noble comes out of the same race last start when battling on well for fourth on that occasion.
That effort came off a poor first up run and without the claim today he meets Turnitaround exactly the same at the weights.
His best form measures up well against his rivals today however and is certainly worth an each way ticket off his last start effort.
Mossbeat has failed to win in a very long time now but she will find this easier to what she has been racing against.
Won her only time at the course previously and has produced some solid efforts in Group company this campaign.
Hard to make a strong case for her having not won in so long but steps up to the 1700m for the first time and is certainly worth including in the multiples and exotics.
Good Luck!!
