IRONIC AUSSIE (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 24 times for 12 wins and four minors. Recorded a 2 length win (19.42) in a NG last time at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. LIAR GUY (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 6 last run (18.67) at Dubbo. Winning chance. ROSY LONE (7) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from eight starts. In the money last time at this track (19.64) in a NG, finishing a 3 length third. Suited here and expected to run well. BRAVE CHOICE (3) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 336m at this track in a handy (19.64), beating Blazing Leo. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend in this field.
