Prize Money: $2,400

BARNSLEY (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (29.00) at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SUNSET BOY (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (22.43) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. FEDERAL BLAST (3) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and two minors from 15 tries. Missed the frame latest (29.78) when seventh over 498m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. SWANKY FRANKY (6) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a fast 28.81 over 498m finishing third at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on July 28 over 498m at this track behind Organised Kaos beaten 14 lengths (29.78). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 380m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Was out of placings last time (22.58) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Makes appeal on best.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
