TALK IS CHEAP (1) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that posted a dominant 19.26 win over 350m at Healesville. Rates on top and can find winning form again. QILIN BALE (7) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Below best last time at Wagga (30.74) in a NG, finishing a 8 length fifth. Looks one of the chances. ASTON ZOOM (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.01) at Bendigo in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Can find the frame this time. MASSETER (8) generally performs well over this distance.

Hit the frame latest (22.89) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Among the chances on best.

Backs up quickly after winning by 2.75 lengths at Horsham (23.47) beating Paw Yaz in a Grade 5 on August 26 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wagga (30.74) in a NG, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (17.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Has never missed the frame from five starts from the draw, including a win. Makes appeal on best.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
