AAP

4 weeks since last run. Been racing well. Off midfield when flew home to score this track. Poised to deliver another big performance.

ILB

Charged home to win last run here and getting better in recent performances. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Should give plenty of sight.

Had two of these in arrears over 7f here (handicap) four weeks ago; others more appealing despite that win at Launceston.

RSIS

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at this track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has not missed the money lately in 4 attempts. Strong chance.

AAP

Produced an explosive 2.3 lenght win this venue. Drawn favourably. Distance increase suits. Red-hot and hard to oppose.

ILB

Bold effort when winning last run at the track and gets a favourable gate. Made it 2 wins on the trot. Strong winning hope.

Won a handicap by just over 2l two weeks ago; has displayed improved form on last two starts and bidding for a hat-trick; likely to go well.

RSIS

Picked up nicely to win last start here and can find a nice position from the draw. Undefeated last 2 starts. Should go well.

AAP

Great run at Launceston 2 Oct. Beaten a few lengths but found enough to fill the minors this venue over this distance. Warrants attention.

ILB

Managed to run into 2nd last time at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Reasonable chance.

He shouldn't be far away.

RSIS

Claimed a spot in the placings when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at this venue and promising career start.

AAP

4 weeks since last run. Going well. Responded strongly to score in small field this course over longer assignment. Tougher ask here but stays on the radar.

ILB

Reeled them in when winning last run around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. In good condition this preparation but up against a more competitive field. Looks optimistic.

Won by just over 2l over 1m2f here (conditions race) four weeks ago; can make her presence felt.

RSIS

Strong effort to the line to win last start at this venue but facing stiffer opposition. In good order since coming back from a break but dropping in distance.

AAP

4 weeks since last run. Punctured badly after leading in the 1400m Hcp (C1) this track. Pace influence. Respect on previous sound form.

ILB

Odds of $14.00 and gave away some ground when 7th last start at the track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can't entertain a bet.

Safely held here 28 days ago behind Wolf Junior when beaten 6l (seventh of eight) over 7f (handicap); stepped up on his last two starts; has won here previously; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role in what appears to be a competitive contest.

RSIS

Started 13/1 and weakened under pressure when 7th last run around here. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned.

AAP

Finally got the monkey off his back winning this course. Can run top three.

ILB

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start around here and drawn the rails. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Others are more appealing.

Seems to be improving based on last two runs; scored narrowly in a maiden three weeks ago to get off the mark; despite that Launceston success, easy to oppose.

RSIS

Narrowly clinched the victory last start here and will appreciate a good stall. Been in the placings each start lately and getting better in recent performances. Racing in stronger company.

Odds correct as at Fri 30 Oct, 10:00 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
