Prize Money: $4,345

SOCIALLY SLEEK (2) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 461m behind Helmsley (26.48) in a Free For All. Was a winner the start prior. The form out of her last race has been franked. Better than last start and worth following up. GRAPEFRUIT EXPEL (3) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for three wins and two minors. Comes off a (19.54) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 340m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BUNDABERG GUM (1) boasts a consistent overall record including 15 wins from 75 starts, the latest winning (19.93) over 340m at this track. Solid record here winning four races. Rates a winning chance on best. GUS THE JET (8) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 461m. Last start finished last over 461m at this track beaten 10 lengths (26.48) behind Helmsley in a Free For All on August 20. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 19.55, beating Handle Bars Down. Last start finished 4th over 461m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (26.40) behind Sundara in a Grade 5 on August 20. Has claims on best form.
