PIRATE RIOT (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Gunnedah over 527m (30.92). Scored previously at this trip. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SIMPLICITY MAGIC (2) can keep on winning after good last start success, claiming a Grade 5 at this track over 525m in 30.34. Bold showing expected again. BLACK BOOK IT (4) has a strong record here with two wins and a minor from five starts. In the money last time at The Gardens (30.34) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length third. Can hit the frame with the right run. SPIN AROUND BLUE (5) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Comments

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.25 lengths fourth (30.92) over 527m at Gunnedah. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Comes off a (30.34) win last time, scoring by 10 lengths in a Grade 5 over 525m at this track. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (30.34) over 515m at The Gardens. Tricky draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Hit the frame latest (17.70) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.
