PRIORITY (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (17.15) last time in a Class 5 FIN at this track. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Drops back in class today and can discover winning form. HEART BEATS RICO (4) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and four placings from 10 starts. Missed the frame latest (17.17) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 4. Makes strong appeal on best. BUSTED HANDLE (5) turned in a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 295m behind Homebush Swindle (17.52) in a Class 4. Comes through a solid form race last start. Key player if finds best. OPAWA BUSY (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit. Should be finding the line strongly.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths third at this track but did record a dynamic 17.06 over the 295m journey. Must include.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.45) in a Class 4, finishing a 10 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting six victories and 10 places from 22 starts. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fourth over 295m at this track in 17.17. Had been going well prior to that. Key chance.

Solid performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 295m (17.55) beating Homebush Greedy in Class 3 on July 3. Recently had a solo trial (17.11) on this track over 295m. Looks a strong top-three chance.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 4.5 lengths at this track (17.11) beating Wonderful Chaos in a Class 3 on January 29. Others hold stronger claims.
