Timeform's Australian SmartPlays: Thursday 27 August

#8 Seaboard - Mornington R4 (05:30 BST)

Seaboard makes plenty of appeal on paper, a daughter of Exceed And Excel representing top connections, and she is fancied to get her career off to the perfect start in a race that is unlikey to take much winning. All Stardom is another interesting newcomer, while Mysterious Art looks the pick of those with previous experience.

#4 Zorro's Dream - Mornington R7 (07:00 BST)

Zorro's Dream was below form on his final 2019 start at Ballarat, but he could be worth another chance to confirm his earlier promise now reappearing after nine months on the sidelines. He looks on a good mark if running up to his best and may yet prove capable of better still having been gelded during his absence. Mensa Missile and Albarado head the list of dangers.

#2 Surreal Image - Mornington R8 (07:30 BST)

Surreal Image has been knocking on the door in stronger races than this recently, including when third at Moonee Valley last time, and he will be difficult to peg back if getting an easy time of things on the front end from stall 1. Vladivostok and Run Walrus Run could be the ones to give the selection most to do.
