SETTLE FOR LESS (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.70) last time out at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Can find winning form. DAPPER CHAP (1) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where he gave a sight, finishing third (29.58) and beaten 3.5 lengths over 515m at Sandown. Can feature again. HERE COMES JOJO (6) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from six starts. Was out of placings last time (26.29) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. HEY PRESTO (4) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in her.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 3.5 lengths third over 515m Sandown in 29.58. Should prove hard to beat.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Special conditions H at this track and clocking a scintillating 25.54 over the 460m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Solid performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 400m (22.77) beating Hijack in Grade 5 on September 26. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (26.29) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Makes appeal on best.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 510m at Sale in a handy (28.82), beating All Jazz. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer to watch at this stage.
