EXOTIC RUBY (1) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (22.19) but scored three back at this track (21.78). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Can bounce back. MAJOR SWING (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from 12 tries. Hit the frame latest (22.13) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Looks a key chance on best figures. NEED A TOW (4) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 22.02 beating Penny Calido. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. JIMMY JAX (8) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out.

Missed the frame latest (22.19) when fifth over 380m at this track in a OPEN. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from eight starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 21.94, beating Mad Bunch. Last start finished 4th over 380m at this track beaten 11 lengths (22.79) behind Need A Tow in a Grade 3/4 on August 31. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th in a Free For All on August 21 over 380m at this track behind One Last Beer beaten 9 lengths (22.22). Looks a solid hope.
