Prize Money: $2,655

CHARMING CHICKA (1) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won seven times from eight starts. Hit the frame latest (19.31) when second at Bulli in a Free For All. Looks the one to beat with even luck. WHERE'S FERNANDO (7) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Last start placegetter over 320m at Richmond in a Free For All (18.36). Has a strong record at this distance including 35 wins. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from 11 starts. Bold showing expected. GOT A REQUEST (2) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (21.60) but scored three back at Richmond (18.81). Won at her only start from this box. Should play a prominent role. ZIPPING AUGUSTA (3) is a last start winner in very good time. Must include.

Won two starts back over 400m at Bulli. Last start she finished 2nd over 340m at Bulli beaten 1.5 lengths (19.31) behind Flamin' Joe in a Free For All on August 11. Draw likely to suit. Broke a two-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.

Last start finished 6th on August 16 over 365m at this track behind Ancestral Queen beaten 12 lengths (21.60) in a NG. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.75 lengths second at this track but did record a solid 20.68 over the 365m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Backs up after winning by 2 lengths at The Gardens (23.22) beating Ruby Tanuki in a Grade 5 on August 15 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.
