Comments

AAP

Racing in fine order. Solid 61.5kg winner at Fannie Bay 3 Oct. Posted a hard fought win this course. Stays under strong notice for this.

ILB

Game effort to win narrowly last run at this venue but competing at a higher level of competition. Made it 2 wins in a row. Has plenty of early speed. Has a very strong case to be winning.

RP

On a hat-trick after last win and a seven-time course winner; landed a narrow success in a handicap last month; he has a shout.

RSIS

Brave effort to win narrowly last run here but racing in stronger company. Made it 2 wins in succession. Displays good tactical pace. Jarrod Todd has multiple wins aboard. Strong winning hope.

Comments

AAP

Responded strongly to score in small field this venue. Good gate helps. Solid efforts here. Poised to deliver another big performance.

ILB

Flew home to win last run around here and drawn nicely. Shows good early pace. Ella Clarke stable are in good form of late but up against stronger rivals. Place chance.

RP

Multiple course winner; successful by 1l over 5½f here (handicap) last month; despite that Fannie Bay success, others have more pressing claims.

RSIS

Flew home to win last run around here and will try to take advantage of the stall. Expecting to settle positively. Stable is in form but facing formidable rivals.

Comments

AAP

Gave good sight filling the minors this venue. Right at home this track and distance. Well into preparation now, can run top three.

ILB

Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at this venue and can save some energy from the alley. Expected to be flashing home. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

RP

A prolific C&D winner; fair effort when just over 2l third to Field Of Flutes here over 6f (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last start here and drawn by the rails. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a break. Dropping weight. Must be considered here.

AAP

Fresh. Narrowly beaten in the small field this course over longer test. Useful form this track. Can challenge again.

ILB

Narrowly denied victory last run at the track but dropping in distance. Gary Clarke stable are having a great run of late but rising in grade. Can win.

RP

Three wins from 11 here; ran well when beaten a neck five weeks ago upped to 1m; has to be feared.

RSIS

Close to a win last time here but back in trip. Gary Clarke stable are on a hot streak but competing at a higher level of competition. Definitely worth considering.

Fresh. Unable to threaten in the small field this track. Could get into the placings.

ILB

At $20.00 picked up some late ground when 4th last time at this venue but back in trip. Challenged by a tougher grade. Gets some weight relief. Prefer in a much weaker race.

RP

Behind Hennessy Lad when finishing fourth five weeks ago upped to 1m; ought to be competitive as shown some ability on occasion.

RSIS

Odds of 19/1 and crept into 4th last run at the track but facing a stronger group of contenders. Coming back in trip. Will benefit with the weight drop.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Dominated small field this course over longer test. On pacer. Will take stopping in this company.

ILB

Led and controlled the pace to win by just over 6L last time at the track but will be dropping in distance. Should be going forward early. Prefer in something a lot easier.

RP

Had plenty to spare at the line when winning five weeks ago upped to 1m.

RSIS

Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of more than 6L last start here but facing a stronger class. Has shown early pace in races to date.

AAP

Sent back to last and safely held in the small field this venue. Needs a major turnaround.

ILB

At $101.00 was well beaten when 7th last time around here and facing a stronger group of contenders. Will benefit with the weight drop. Very difficult to back.

RP

Was behind Struck Gold here two weeks ago when dropped back to 5½f; this is competitive and others more persuasive.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run around here and challenged by more formidable competitors. Goes down in weight.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
