TANGO ANNA (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from 11 tries. Scored by 5.5 lengths last time (30.53) in a Grade 5 over 525m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. MERRY MERRIWA (4) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. Placed last time (26.24) at Temora in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BETTY BONKERS (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when eighth at Temora over 457m behind Irinka Brett (26.59) in a Grade 4/5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CHASIN' OPIE (5) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

In the money last time at Temora (26.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 7th in a Grade 5 on September 26 over 525m at this track behind Tango Anna beaten 15 lengths (31.62). Solid claims this line-up.

Came from wide draw and finished last over 457m at Temora beaten 10 lengths (26.59) behind Irinka Brett in a Grade 4/5 on October 1. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
