BLUE FABIO (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Taree Super Track over 525m behind Zipping Vivid (31.15) in a Grade 5. Has ability and is a key runner. NAUGHTY ZESTA (7) was a winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 5.5 lengths second at Maitland (22.58). Expected to feature. TEN BOB NOTE (6) is a handy type who was well below best latest at Gosford, finishing fifth (22.58) in a Grade 5. Generally fast into stride but was shuffled back from the tricky draw last time. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. RHAPSODY BEAST (2) is in the mix after placing at a big quote last time out.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.93. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Didn't make the placings last time at Maitland (22.72) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks one of the chances.
