BLACK LICORICE (7) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from 10 starts. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (24.02) in a Grade 5 over 425m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. DON'T TELL SHELL (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (26.04) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Has a good record here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Has ability and can atone. PAW JUDAS (1) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only half a length from Paw Enna in second (24.87) at Sale. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Bold showing expected. MIRA BALE (2) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 390m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on August 17 over 435m at Sale behind Paw Enna beaten half a length (24.87). Yet to win but has been in the money four times from six starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Quickly away at Geelong two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Ballarat last start over 390m from this same draw. In form and another win would not surprise.

Comes off a (25.67) win last time, scoring by one length in a Grade 5 over 450m at Shepparton. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Others appear better placed.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 425m in 24.02 last start, beating Duchess Georgia. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 16 lengths at Shepparton. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
