HARLEY RIOT (1) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from six starts. Scored by 1.2 lengths last time (22.55) in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. LADY TEQUILA (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the money at the last three runs. Solid record here winning two races. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Hard to beat again. SWANKY CHIC (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Geelong over 400m. Well-placed to take this out. LEVIATHAN (5) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.55 last start, beating Irish Brew. Likes the rails so has an excellent 22.05 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 400m at Geelong beaten one length (23.15) behind Aston Ryan in a Grade 5 on August 26. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
